SL under threat?

3500 registered players. Is there 35 in Toronto?
The whole thing is based on one bloke putting sht load of money in for god knows how long. I genuinely hope it builds and turns out to be sustainable but it’s looks sketchy as hell at the moment.

How long have Melbourne been winning/cheating their way way to titles in comparison?

Hull is full of shady people, you should know that :) How the frick didnt he end up in jail after robbing 300k?

None of which has any relevance to the fact Toronto may not be able to field a team this year, are more an English club than a Canadian club and exist at purely and solely on the whim of one man. Its a pack of cards. Not sure how many times SL has to go through shoddy short term expansion clubs until it works out a sustainable model?

So is there any resolution to the Wolfpack Visa issues? are their import going to even be able to play or what is happening with Catalans home situation that some of the clubs are whinging that it is unfair that Catalans get to play in front of crowds?

What about relegation? is it on or off

Take away one man and Hull KR, a club more than 100 years old and less fans than TWP, fall over. No great difference. What has Neil’s money done for RL? He’s got himself a lame duck treading water in SL. At least Argyle has brought RL to ten thousand new fans. Rugby League at the top level is a pack of cards. They desperately needed Murdoch’s money in 1996 and are just as desperate now.

All signs look like no P&R in 2020 but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. No date for the GF is peeing me off. How can they formulate the regular season fixtures but not know when the GF will be?

Unlikely, we’d probably drop down a league and still be around. No different to a lot of clubs in SL like you have said before. There’s a gap of around £200k-500k a year for most clubs it seems. We have avg crowds and an income from the stadium and still need money from the chairman so lord knows how clubs with lesser revenue than us are coping.

toronto from a players view.

Hull KR always maintain good crowds in the lower league.
