Meanwhile Toronto have continued their promotion push, not by playing other clubs players on dual registration, but by signing experienced international Super League players, such as Matty Russell.

Russell said “I’m really looking forward to playing in Toronto. I kept an eye on the club last year and to see how well it was going was great to see for rugby league. For my family to watch me play in Toronto will be an unreal experience!”

Hopefully his wish will come true at some point this season.

They are playing in Toronto this week, likley to be a sell out crowd. Will that be the 1st sell out in the Championship?

Are you sure it's Toronto?

Re: Could Toronto, London and Toulouse all get promoted? : Tue May 01, 2018 9:14 pm  

The attendance report from this one will be interesting. Their recent reported attendances were 6 to 7 thousand but have a capacity of 3,200 for this weekend. However, you can still buy tickets for the game (I've just checked). Draw your own conclusions.

It’s about 25 miles from Lamport Stadium.
