Well done to Toronto, Toulouse, London and Catalans. There is now a real possibility two expansion clubs will gain promotion, this is brilliant for the game of rugby league.

Rubbish, flights are available for under £400. This is not a huge cost for full time professional clubs. Most Super League clubs will make the trip once a year.

Can you remember what the financial state of the game actually is ??
Leigh, Fev, Salford and Widnes all rolling in cash

I know that you want to replace these clubs (and Wakefield) with your new mercenary clubs but, where do you actually see the future of the game, when we are down to half a dozen top flight UK clubs and the rest playing in some semi professional pop n crisp league, it should be a huge draw for the rugby minded aspirational kids.

You and your ilk are doing more for killing the sport than RU have done over the last 30 years.
If you carry on down this path, you will probably find Wigan, Hull, Saints and Leeds all throwing their cap in with the Yawnion lot.

Exactly.

I'm perfectly fine with UK clubs joining as there may be decent away fan numbers, but Toronto bring no one. Even Catalan hardly bring anyone.

Doesn't take much more than one richer backer deciding he wants to retire to see one of the "big" clubs go into freefall with no funding. Really need a solid supporter base or the game is finished. This isn't football where the big clubs can live off sponsorship and TV revenue alone.
