We are playing 27 rounds next year anyway. We can't have an odd number of teams with an odd number of rounds so someone will need to be promoted as realistically Toronto have to be relegated after withdrawing. Had this been Hull KR, Wakefield or Salford withdrawing people wouldn't have bat an eyelid at them being demoted, the same should apply to Toronto.



The Championship in whatever form possible should now resume with the winners being promoted for 2021.

Im sure playing in -34 trumps financial when your backed by a billionaire, I know when the french league started thanks, it was you who said a “few” years ago

Quote ="wiganermike"I have never understood why so many people are so vehemently opposed to it. Other than them just not wanting TWP in the league of ">course.'" It's simple for me - It's bloody ridiculous to have a team from not just another country (France, which is restrictive enough), but another continent, thousands of miles away. The vast majority of fans can't travel there, nor can (most of) their fans travel here. Sport is for the fans. What next? Aussie club(s)? SL becoming a feeder for pre-NRL teams to prove something? Maybe allow some South-Sea Island teams, as they don't have a strong enough local league?

Seem their backer has either run out or isn't prepared to bankroll the club anymore.

Exactly, you could not have put it better.
