There seems to be a belief amongst some that every RL fan has a god-given right to be able to make every game and be home in time for the antiques roadshow.

From a Canadian perspective, I have to say that's a great logo - just right for this market. The only question in my mind is whether games against Rochdale and Gloucestershire All-Golds is really going to grip the imagination. Still, 99% of people in Canada will never have heard of Wigan (lucky them) or Saints or Warrington either, so perhaps it won't matter much.


Read a suggestion elsewhere that perhaps two SL teams could go over and have a game in Toronto. Would mean one team willing to sacrifice a home fixture but could possibly have a double header at Toronto's ground with their match on beforehand. Could be something worth trying.

This is mint. I hope Saints draw them away in the challenge cup. I havent been yet but it will already be my favourite away game

Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

I don't see how that would be of any benefit at all. People in Canada have not heard of Wigan and St Helens any more than they have heard of Hemel or Keighley. If SL teams were doing that then they would be better off playing in Vancouver TBH, where there is arguably a stronger grassroots RL base than Toronto.

I think this is potentially all reward and no risk for the RFL, the backers also seem like the sort of people we want in our sport.

My biggest question, and one which I have been thinking about in terms of Catalan, is what is the long term plan. While on one hand it's great to be welcoming new teams and markets (and in Catalans case it finally seems like new contenders) should we be happy with just the odd team from here and the odd team from there?

Imo the goal has to be to get them involved with our structure, make sure their competitive and well run, then send them back in a couple of years with all the information and infrastructure they've gained to set up a competitive professional league.

That should be the long term goal.

100% correct.
yet unfortunately our system puts teams in Super League based solely on on field results.

Seen an irate Warrington fan who thinks it's "ridiculous" that they've been allowed to have the name Wolfpack and the RFL should've made them change it as its too similar to Warrington's Wolves name.

Can't wait to see a picture of 3 Toronto fans stood next to a wall with the name "Wolvepack" written on it :)
