Still can't understand why you are the only Toronto supporter who posts on this forum. By the way ,referring to the team as Canadian boys is stretching my imagination somewhat.
The truth of the matter is that this forum is not welcoming to Toronto fans. Simple as that.
When I came on the stuff posted on the Leigh forum was pure vitriol and, to be fair if you want to have the honest conversation, you know it. I called them out on it and it has improved. But rather than taking progressive action I was labelled as a number of other posters, using fake accounts and vilified, then banned from posting in certain areas (never was told how long but a week, that was months ago).
The ironic part is that the threads were Toronto based in nature and I was the only Toronto fan commenting, so they (the moderators Atomic and a Hull one) banned me because I wasn't going along with the hateful narrative and willing to accept the public bashing of my club. I'm sure some of the posts are still there (I know they deleted many to cover their tracks) I fought back and they knew they lost. Truth aleways wins out in the end.
They feel threatened by the very existence of Toronto so most first automatically insult, then permanently ban any other ideas because they are afraid, really afraid. They want to direct the narrative to fit into their incorrect rugby perceptions; makes them feel better.
That is why there are not more Toronto fans on here and I think, deep down, you know it is the truth too.
TWP is here in RL, they are thriving and growing. This franchjse is not going to fail, rather it is very successful. We are not going anywhere. Some posters and moderators may love us or they may hate us, but the only way they can ignore us is to stay in their tin foil covered ancient boxes by banning us and making the site as unwelcome as possible.
Sad....but true.
