I agree, if they are available and we can get them now do it. Waiting until we may need them could backfire as there may not be anyone available then. Said before the season started HB and Hooker are a worry and nothing has really changed my mind. While we have made a great start there is along way to go and I just hope injuries dont scupper us
“Not much strength in depth in certain areas. We will beat most sides but we will not trouble the top 2 or anyone in the middle 8s. A few injuries in certain positions and we will not make the top 4” Quote from a previous thread, and pretty valid still, I like the fact wardy has put his trust in some local grown lads, but you should never ignore talent available if it’s out there.
Must be hard for them playing all these away games in a row, being on the road constantly takes its toll on the players, away from home and family. Oh hold on!
The whole Toronto thing is becoming a farce. The RFL continue to allow them to bend the rules to suit themselves. Has anybody heard when their home pitch will be ready to be played on. Having all their home games together at the end of the season, gives them an unfair advantage, so that the RFL can get them promoted to Super League. I hope the dream does not become a nightmare in the same way it has for Red Halls other favored club Leigh.

Shirley you can't be serious
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.

Seems to me they have it very cushy. Half a season playing ‘away’ with very little travelling involved and then half a season at home where their opponents have an eight hour flight before each game. Someone is pulling the strings!
