I think their media coverage is down to professionalism, hardwork and the unique story that they are able to tell. London cannot lay the blame at the feet of the RFL on this one. While they may be an average governing body, they arent to blame for the state of our club.

Well only this week the RFL have stated they are willing to consider existing Super League clubs moving to major Cities to play their home games?



I congratulate the Toronto owner, season ticket sales are amazing as well as merchandise, he is doing something right.



IF we do not start making some serious progress as a game I think we better look backwards and go semi professional again, as we are not developing and getting the high financial backers we need to go forward.

The statement re big city "franchise" move seems very odd. Yes it has worked for wasps RU and a lot of there fans seem happy to travel up the m40 for games. If you move for example, widnes to Birmingham how many widnes fans would follow them down there every week I would suggest a big fat zero! It would have to be a new club.

Big city rugby I did think London was a big city.



The only way I could see this ever happening would be by ripping up what we have and starting again, then have a regional top flight competition. East Yorkshire (hull & hull kr) West Yorkshire (Leeds Bradford cas wakey) maybe even just one yorks team in big city Leeds, lancs (Wigan wire widnes) big city Manchester, then you could have Cumbria team big city hmmmm, NE team in newcastle, E mids nottingham or leicester, West mids birmingham, south West bristol, Wales Cardiff, SE London. But where are the fans coming from? It's never gonna happen in my life time.

If the RFL seriously though this was the way ahead then they should have said to Bradford "why not start up a new club elsewhere "?

Cricket is looking at re branding to city one dayers to be played in soccer grounds etc



Don't be afraid of change the world is moving very fast. We will fall further behind whilst we wait for Batley, Fev, Bulls, Fax to become BIG



That's 1950's stuff lets move on. Darts amazing transformation, Snooker time limit for shots, cricket 20;20 games, RL tried franchise dropped it now back in the past! Fatty has to go. We need a visonary

Can't disagree with you mate, maybe Toronto will push it on. Was European super league not meant to be the big change to big city rugby London, Paris, Cardiff!

Our sport has embraced change in the past with intro of SL and move to summer the next change might be the transfer Atlantic push but it needs a massive cash injection if it's going to make any real change.

I hope Toronto becomes a huge success. It's just a pity it wasn't us that started the big shift.
