Same here Zulu. Mind you, I don't know if we could justify paying for someone to go over to record the game, and I'm pretty sure that Toronto wouldn't have paid for it either - they can't even pay their own TV company, eh?!

True Alan

But they would have recorded the game and we could have paid for it, even if we went half's.

There is no reason why we cant watch the game

Toronto could have used the official game tape and uploaded that to say youtube. But didn't. I wonder why.

opposition studying their game plan.

They could have been the aggressors (we only have McDermott's account of the game)

Attendance could have been lower than published

Just to be awkward

Loads of reasons

McDermott needs knocking down a peg or two. Probably mind games, but at the level hes coached at, theres no excuse for it.

I think he will be knocked down quite a few pegs next season if they do go up.

The difference being this year SL are in control of their destiny not the RFL. Toronto may win promotion but will SL allow them in? Harsh not to,but they are not members so anything can happen.

My opinion, if they win the play off, get rid of them, send them to Super League. let the big boys deal with their "Block" games, daft travelling, Visa problems, Jason Pollock pitch design, I will be glad to see the back of them.
The expansionist can have their wet dream and lets see all this money appear from global sponsers - (like this year eh!!!)

Am I ranting a bit???

Just 'ranting' the thoughts of many of us. Like atomic suggests, there are a few SL club owners/chairmen, who are not keen to experience the delights of a trip to Toronto.

Incidentally, when Toronto visited Sheffield, McDermott had a rant about having to play on artificial pitches. Isn't their pitch artificial? Of course McDermott's moan was well before Toronto eventually ventured back to their stadium this season!
