JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
It is obvious that the reigns have been pulled in by DH. He is back in sulk mode.
We're the ones who should be sulking....his track record on employing the wrong people then sulking when they prove to be the wrong people is quite alarming.....
...we needed a quality coach, who in turn would have attracted maybe the 3 or 4 class players we need. Instead we've got an untried coach and a squad with too many youngsters in it.....it's going to be 2015 all over again!

Wellington Alberts (PNG) was the kind of prop I wanted us to get. He apparently had agread to join Doncaster before Widnes stepped in at the last minute. We should have been all over that before Donny (ok we may have lost him towidnes but I suspect we would never have evn tried).

I think I named him as a target well in advance of the world cup...there are a few PNG players who could do the job for us.
Also, the paper talk about SL becoming 14 teams in 2019. My guess would be the current 12 plus Leigh and Toronto. Dont see how we get in/make the cut as it currently stands

The only way any club owned by DH will get into SL is by promotion.....
Dog, can't see the point in harping back to the past again and again it can't be changed. And we get back to the same arguement, without DH we don't get into SL either as there is no LB.

Nah.....my bad. The RFL will welcome Mr Megalomania back wit open arms
Leigh may score poorly on no academy. Possibly location- do we need a Wigan B team? Crowds are nothing special. Im not sure they offer much more than what we have.
The question is do the RFL want to expand geographically?
