Gah.

Why is it a sham? Or is it just jealousy?

Sham is probably the wrong word. But looking at the pics in the trade papers today, the quality of accommodation is not that provided for the trips to Toulouse or for internationals - even the non-Test nations. Finance is far from unlimited.

I have a few reservations about the Wolfpack - none of which are insurmountable but which do need addressing.

Season 1 done then, what's the verdict?

As expected they walked the league, attendances not only held up but improved, mostly excellent feedback from visiting teams & supporters, a young Canadian managed to debut, impressive corporate & broadcasting deals made, plenty of media attention and they've just announced some impressive signings for 2018.

Skimming back over the thread, is the jury still out for some people, or have they been won over? Are you looking forward to playing them next year? Any of you planning to travel over?

I'm expecting to go depending on the date.Is there like a rugby league package deal for away fans in place or will it come down to our club to organise ?

Toronto had weekend packages available this season as part of their partnership with Air Transat (match ticket, flights & 2-night hotel), so I assume they'll do the same in 2018.

Although if you can afford to, I'd recommend staying a week or so and explore the city & get out to Niagara/St Catherine's to make the most of it.

Cheers the weekend package sounds perfect for me-i'm not a real travel buff.

Do you know if it's feasible to visit New York from Toronto?
