JESUS WEPT :WALL: 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. :BEAT:

You know I've always been a dreamer

It's very dangerous to underestimate the Kiwis, they still have a solid forward pack and I don't think it's a strong England team which Bennett has picked at all.

Good point, but I wasn't questioning you starting the post (albeit maybe it reads like that), but just that us lowly Championship fans have as much right to comment as super dooper league fans.

This is my guess at how they will line up. When you actually look at that it doesn't look so weak, my initial thoughts were just about who wasn't playing and not the actual squad. I think their forward pack and bench will be marginally better than England's and there's some genuine quality in the 3/4. I think their halves might struggle if they do go with Martin and Nikorima, both should be big spots for England when NZ are defending. Yes they are missing some certain starters but it's still a strong team on paper and with Maguire at the helm it could be a very tight game.

1. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
2. Jamayne Isaac
3. Peta Hiku/Jordan Kahu
4. Esan Marsters
5. Ken Maumalo
6. Te Maire Martin
7. Kodi Nikorima
8. Martin Taupau
9. Isaac Luke
10. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
11. Joseph Tapine
12. James Fisher-Harris
13. Isaac Liu

14. Slade Griffin
15. Nelson Asofa-Solomona
16. Leeson Ah Mau
17. Herman Ese’ese

Its pointless game anyway, a gimmick played in a mid west city, played right in the middle of the Football world cup. it will be lucky to get more than 1/4 a page in just about every national news paper. it not even a true national side, just Bennett England NRL select with a few super league players thrown in to keep the piece.

I agree Sir Kevin, some Leigh players missing also.... :D


Some Leigh players have been missing from Leigh's side at certain points this season :lol:
Seriously though, which Leigh players should be anywhere near either England or the NZ side :shock:

On the subject of 30 point victory, I think the op is on the wind up, again :CRAZY:

I am guessing he knew you were messing about, due to your laughing emoticon. he just wanted to mention that leigh are currently 6th in the table. really hope Catalans beat them on Wednesday, bottom 4 again for weeds whinos.

This post is off topic, Catalans may well beat us on Wednesday, we have an injury crisis at the moment and Catalans are a good side. Either way confident Leeds will be top 8.
