I will miss that plastic field hockey pitch with the settee on touchline plus the Mad Max extras in the crowd on free tickets. If they are allowed to resume in SL next season then the game really is done.
The people responsible for this want their goolies chopping off. Never should have laid a platform for a Canadian side to get into SL let alone in our league system at all. Be seeing you..

Surely it’s just a case of carry on the super league season but the team that was due to play Toronto now gets a ‘bye’ week. Like bury in football.

Why get into the complicated situation of picking a team to replace them with less than 2 weeks notice. Whoever gets picked will likely be on the losing side every week, especially given the championship hasn’t got a restart date so likely no one is training. This leaves them as unprepared as Toronto were going to be.

Plus you face moans from the teams not picked as to why it should have been them.

In a way it’s a shame for Toronto but in a lot of ways common sense has won the day. Logistics!

My only hope is that maybe the money men can get involved at other clubs closer to home and are not lost to the game as we could do with the money in our game. But how do you get them to invest here when it’s their money? Frustrating as you think how much could have been achieved at a number of clubs with a fraction of the money Toronto have blown

Toronto not fulfilling their fixtures is equivalent of them going into administration or going bust, regardless of their location. Other teams get the 2 points and they get automatically relegated at the end of the season.

The only other option would be to suspend P&R, but how is that fair on a potential promoting team (if their season restarts of course) just because a team in the higher league is unable to finish their season.

Although I've heard that the S African and Italian sides won't be comleting their league fixtures in the RU Pro 14, but they aren't based in England like Toronto are. And SL is supposed to be a "superior" competition to the Pro 14.

Does that competition have P&R?

I wonder what this means for the players they have just signed like Callum Watkins? If they aren’t allowed back into super league, does that effect his contract etc?

If they are relegated it voids all contracts.

It must be wonderful to have such vision, didn't know Toronto have a pension scheme though.



It unfortunately did not take much vision and to be honest it was never going to last virus or no virus

Toronto will be here next season, even stronger.

Sorry to burst all the flat cappers bubble and Leigh’s fans hopes of promotion but it’s true.

Their season ticket waiting list is even longer than last season and they have 2 unbelievable signings about to be announced for next season.

All is good in Toronto. Sorry.



Lovely stuff
