Reading the BBC report it seems the RFL and/or SL didn't do due diligence on Toronto's financial status when they were first admitted. I could not believe it when I read that. This is another screw up along the lines of saying Bradford were financially sound before they went bust when we had the franchise model.

It also seems the clubs who voted against readmission were concerned the financial projections from the new owners were not believable so they voted to avoid the chance of a repeat performance next year. Given the covid situation is not likely to be resolved quickly I can understand that it would be a huge risk to readmit them and that is before you start asking questions about is it right a club that drops out can just waltz back in regardless of where they are from. It's a pity its all gone wrong but given this is RL it's not that much of a surprise.

And actually competed fairly well in SL. Any other year they would have stayed up with that amount of points. If you're looking for a team to be SL ready in such a short period, they're the best bet IMO. Not sure how much the squad has turned over but I think a lot of it was down to Danny Ward, who is still there of course. Whoever does come up should be exempt from relegation for a year though IMO due to the short time available to them to prepare a competitive squad.

so 2 years ago? Hows that merit for this season?

I disagree, If you look at squads its a shootout between Leigh and Toulouse and they also have the facilities ready also, Londons squad has been decimated

I know. I knew that as soon as I saw 'Pieman wrote'.
