Wasnt feasible anyway . Get featherstone in or another one who could make a go of it

Leigh all the way.

totally agree

Fev made the final last so should be them or London as they were relegated to allow TW to come up.

As Featherstone Rovers were runners up to Toronto Wolfpack in the 2019 Championship Play Off Final, they should be invited to participate in next seasons Super League.

If they are not, I don't think the flatcappers will be at all happy at any other decision!

Ideally I’d love to see them run a play off competition of some sort but how feasible that would be under the current circumstances is totally unclear.

current top 4 playoff

Make it 14 teams top 5 play off for three places.

Please god no. We're already spread too thin imo and extra teams aren't going to improve the quality.

The only way the above could work would be with licencing and we know that people won't accept that.

I'd like featherstone. Had some really tough games against them in the past at post office road and central park.

London I think will get it

Sounds like the clubs get to vote on how many teams will be in and they’ll vote for an 11 team league to keep the bigger slice of the financial pie they get now (with Toronto having received no central funding).

Hope not been there done that hardly any fans dont bring much to the super league imo

Sad day in my opinion and I’ve always been a big supporter of the Toronto project however it’s probably the right call when you look at the incompetence of their first owner and the perceived arrogance of the potential new owner and his failure to put any real effort in to the pitch to save the club and jobs of players, and staff connected to the club.

I hope it becomes a lessons learned exercise for Ottawa Aces and also the proposed New York franchise. If we as a sport do it right I am sure we can get a slice of the massive North American market with our product.

Moving forward I can’t see realistically how you could promote anyone. Most teams will be well on their way to finalising their 2021 squads. There won’t be a enough quality players on the market to make them anywhere near competitive even at the lower end of the table.

Not saying I agree with London but just think that the “expansionists” May push for London

Tolouse or York should be in 100%

I'm not against expansion but it has to be right and it has to be at the right time. Catalans was, this wasn't.

I also think that we need to get our house in order first. How does bringing a club into the league from Canada stop crowds from dropping at the elite clubs?

Let's fix our problems before we look at introducing teams from Timbucktoo and beyond.

A covid free 2020 season with Toronto playing in Super League would have added some sparkle and fizz to the sport.

Only time would have told whether that fizz was Champagne or Pomagne.

Sadly we will never know. One thing I do know.... this sport is in a pretty dire downward spiral (even before Covid). There will be casualties.

Disappointing but not surprising.
It's a difficult time to think of expansion but with clubs like Toulouse and York appearing to be asking to be promoted then perhaps we should go with those clubs and their cities.

Poison chalice for me promotion in 2021 without the time to recruit properly.

Run with 11 next year back to 12 in 2022.

Stagnant and non growing clubs like Leigh or Featherstone preferred over Toronto just sums up RL and why we’ll always be a minority sport. Utterly ridiculous.

After making Toronto start at the very bottom of the league structure,how ridiculous is it that they are being treated in this way.The potential new owner said that he was prepared to cover all the players expenses that were owed,who pays those players now that he won't be taking over.Who is going to come up into Super League to make it a 12 team league again.This is a complete embarrassment yet again for our great game

They ran out of money after 3 years.

Yet teams like Fev never have had any money. Teams like Fev, Batley, Dewsbury and Keighley back in the 80's didn't have a pot to urinate into and would rub their hands with glee if drawn with Wigan in an early cup round as it meant a large (for them) pay day. Fev's average attendances for the last three years are around 2,300. It's an ex pit village where you could fit the population into the DW Stadium and still have ten thousand empty seats.

Kicking Toronto out of the league for lack of funding is rich when you look at the state of Cas & Wakey's grounds. They've been pulling the wool over the eyes of the sport for 25 years. It's always 'hopes to have a new stadium in two years'.

Frankly it's not good enough, the teams on this side of the pennines have got their ships in order. It's time Cas & Wakey do the same or ship out.

I agree with the above post by attracting teams like Tolouse and York, potential for growth.
