Possibly the reason he's a billionaire is because he doesn't waste money.

I've never bragged about anything, you must be confusing me with some other non-Leigh supporter.

I'm fairly sure Halifax played Cas in the Isle of Man one year.

The RL Charity Shield (winners of the league versus winners of the Challenge Cup) was held 9 times over 11 years from 1985 to 1996 (Wigan won both competitions in 93-94 and 94-95). The first 4 years were in the Isle of Man, with Cas playing Fax in 1986-87, with Wigan versus Fax the next year. Anfield, Swansea, Gateshead and Dublin were the other venues.

Really?

Over the years we’ve had Warrington v Wigan in the Great American Challenge, all clubs involved when the NRL clubs toured England when SL started, all clubs involved in the Magic Weekend for years in Cardiff/Edinburgh/Manchester/Newcastle, Warrington played in Barcelona, Leeds did a pre-season in the US once, HullKR played in Toulouse, Wigan took a home game to London, it was our clubs that drive the World Club Series, Leeds played a Cas at Elland Road in front of a big crowd, Wigan v Hull in Australia, England played New Zealand in Denver, the chairmen if English SL clubs want to get a better TV deal and there’s been a power battle between them this year, Wigan playing in Barcelona next season...

I’d say Toronto have realised that having a team in a league 4000 miles away is unsustainable so they’re having to find closer alternatives. They’ll be the København Lions in three years.

Wires played in Biarritz, London in Scotland and Leicester. Games on the road are nothing special. Aussies take games from the east coast to the west and north coasts. NZ to the other island. Whats the issue??

Exactly good businessmen don't typically waste money. Londons owner is wealthy enough to take them to the top of SL, so was Branson when he owned London.

Lamport Stadium.......not even remotely close to being full!

Re: Toronto Lamport Stadium : Sun Oct 07, 2018 6:35 pm  

Looks close to full to me. Large crowd stood behind the posts not in their seats.

They’ll report it as 102,576, a new RL record.

Re: Toronto Lamport Stadium : Sun Oct 07, 2018 6:38 pm  

Looks like a pretty good crowd to me. Being outplayed though at the moment.

Its a great crowd, no doubt several posters will still find negatives with it.

Errors and discipline has cost The Wolfpack.

London have been the best team so far but I’m still confident Toronto will come good.
