So after all this poop Super League got together and voted to go back to the same old boring crap system it used to have. All teams will play an extra six stupid games, the teams towards the bottom will still be moaning for half the season they cant plan, the teams who finish in the top five will play the same old unfathomable play off system - what an utter joke!

Should of gone to 14 teams, play home and away once. Old Premiership style top eight for the GF. Simple and easy

I'd rather we get 6 from Toronto. The focus should be on the home side attracting 400 more home fans, and Toronto getting 8k to 10k for their home games compared to Halifax and feath getting 2k

Sides shouldn't rely on away support, it can be sporadic and can fluctuate. Focus on attracting and retaining home support

The 6 from toronto wouldnt pay the tea lady.

Teams shouldn't rely on away support. Generate a higher home support through marketing and an exciting product

totally ludicrous, Toronto ,Catalan,toulouse and ive heard talk of new York being touted as the next overseas club in super league.as daft as it sounds in a few years time ,we could have a 12 team uk super league with no british clubs in it.the French clubs should really be part of a strong French league.no wonder people who actally go through the turnstiles is declining each year.

Got to try something different, clubs like Salford and Widnes are plodding along with low crowds despite new grounds and in Salfords case some big name signings a few years ago. Wakefield have been promising a new ground for years but never deliver one, Huddersfield rely soly on a rich backer about half the league aren't performing off the field.

Also barely any teams bring any away support to the KCOM anyway, I don't see a lot of difference between Toronto bringing a car full and Salford bringing a car full.

I think Toronto will go up, but we need to see how it goes for a few years before we add more international teams.

What are you actually here for? If it's to provide a sensible debate then you are welcome to stay, however if you are simply here to extract the urine constantly then you will be removed.

I made a valid point about toronto toulouse etc bringing no support,iam sure you know away support all goes into the clubs coffers,CCS commented they averaged 3,500 at home,what has got that to do with the point i made.We all know they bring nothing,fosdyke agreed 100% so somebody thinks like me and with all due respect wilde 3 made a point that we all know,but the product from hull the last 9 weeks will not encourage next seasons season passes increasing.
Did you think wilde3 s post made sense that he would rather have 6 from toronto, than 400 from halifax featherstone etc.Thats a shocker.

We would never get 400 from teams like Halifax and Featherstone anyway, so your point is flawed and not really worth discussing. Only 3/4 sides have brought that figure or more this year - HKR, Cas, Wakey and maybe Saints. Sides need to focus on the controllables, their home support. If Toronto get into SL then they will most likely bring a TV deal with them, which increases the revenue in SL - if this filters down to each side to increase the salary cap, and keep the better players in the league, then the product get's better. Stop looking at away support and look at the bigger picture
