Fev all the way for me.

If we want a Toronto club put them in a North America league. If you want an international club competition do it outside the domestic season and have an RL equivalent of the Champions League or include them in the World Club Challenge.

I would love to see fev win it, I’m a bulls fan, but I think everyone at fev deserves to be in superleague they have worked hard with little, and if they do get there my god they will have earned the right to be there, and anyone who wants Toronto to win are not proper rugby fans

My thoughts exactly.

Has it been agreed that Toronto can come up if they win yet? As far as I’m aware the decision hasn’t been announced yet. If, for example, they get told they can’t go into SL who will? Will London keep their place or will Fev automatically go up?

The wigan period was a golden era for watching the game..88-94 is the last time we really truly got close to the Aussies It made everyone else lift up a level even though they couldn't really stop them winning the silver. I say that as a Leeds fan who were one of the also rans of that period.

Oh yeah and just about bankrupt the sport, causing the shift to summer rugby, let's go down that path all over again.
Toronto seem to be running their business model on a similar style.

We’ve rarely had a problem getting close to the Aussies. It’s beating them that's the problem.

I see that era, the 80’s and 90’s, as utterly disastrous for the sport. And I don’t really blame Wigan for it, I blame the sport as a whole. They all spent way beyond their means, spent on players, not on youth production, not on marketing, not on facilities, not on club infrastructure. The sport bankrupted itself in that era and has been scrabbling around desperately searching for short term cash ever since.

The sport got almost everything wrong in that era in my opinion.

Not only does the poll not work, the linky thing doesn't work either!
Anyway, I voted Fev, I like my little jaunts to West Yorkshire on a Sunday.
As an aside, I was quite impressed with Mark Wilson as main Sky commentator for the Toulouse/Fev game, I would be happy to see him back next season as a regular.

No doubt Toronto. The game doesn't need another Northern English side in Superleague.

We have enough of those already.
