Shame, you're missing out.
I'll take a gamble here, that Catalan at home is much lower on your list of "go see" games, than it is to the top.
Even as a Trinity fan, I'd rather watch us play Huddersfield or Salford at home than Catalan and once the novelty wears off with Toronto, it will very likely be the same.
Let's not even go into the cost of trying to go to the away fixture.
I was lucky enough to see Trinity at every away game last season, although (luckily) I only managed one of the London, Wigan and Saints games but, Toronto can only be a one off.
Remembering that Ottowa are joining the League soon and although thet would help Toronto's position, just as Toulouse in the top flight may help Catalan (apart from them fighting over the same player pool), it will be a negative as far as both cost and "killing" another home fixture, plus the likely demise of another English club.
Is this really what we want for our sport ?
As for the "we've had 100 years" argument. This is just nonsense.
Throw in a couple of wars and the game almost being bankrupt in the late 80's/early 90's and you get a completely different slant on that argument.
Toronto have shown what can be done with decent marketing and promotion of the game and the one thing that we need to do is learn from that.
The infighting within the sport and lack of proper planning have been shocking over the years.
Grand final aside, our major events are badly planned and even more badly promoted.
Finally, can someone please disclose the "masterplan" for the sport and expansion, assuming that there is one
Most people seem to disregard anything before SL began, anyway
