D-Day next week when SL will decide if Toronto will be allowed back in. Unfortunately, it is starting to look like they will.

If they aren't allowed back, things become even more interesting..
Do we run an 11 club comp, which would devalue "Magic" and cause some imbalance in the fixture program or, would "we" invite one of the Championship clubs to take Toronto's place ?
As there is no precedent or rule for replacing a failing club, this would definitely cause some serious issues and quite possibly some law suits and it's for this reason, that I believe that we will see Toronto return to SL.
If there was any justice, there would be a hefty points reduction, which would likely ensure their relegation at the end of the season, which would be the "right" result but, you can see the sport caving in and pretty much allowing them back with no penalty for their actions.
The interesting thing would be what punishment or treatment would their be for any other club that so abjectly failed to complete the season.

Are the new owners offering to continue funding all the traveling expenses of teams playing them in Canada and continuing not to receive a share of Sky income.If the answer to either question is no, then the expense for clubs like ours having to pay their own travel costs while receiving reduced Sky income would cause serious problems.

Should let Toronto form two teams then they can play each other every week in the snow. Won't be long before RL have us playing on a maple leaf shaped pitch.

They can't even play on their own ground until half way through the season

I read that the prospective new owner wants a share of Sky money as a proviso of his investing money into Toronto.
Also six super league clubs are against them rejoining SL, Wakefield, Cas , Salford both the Hull clubs and I think if I remember correctly Huddersfield the sixth. Leeds are for them and Saints Wigan Warrington not sure until further details were released.

Mmmmmmm! I see the clubs that are against them rejoining tend to be those that are possible fellow relegation candidates.
