How about wording it in a way that that is not designed to provoke and annoy, thats why im guessing it was removed..

That's open to interpretation.
Shame we don't have a lawyer among us.

I said in another thread that we need another Packer versus Murdock set too.

Not exactly a fear of expansion but I do worry where the players in an expanded league will come from.

It's analogous to the standard of trolling on here. Once, there was only the occasional troll who had the pick of the best topics and whose material tended to be refreshing and novel. There were many biters.
Now, the troll number (or perhaps their aliases) has increased but the available subject matter has not. This means that the new kids on the block, akin to the Toulouses and Torontos of this world, are of a relatively weak standard compared to the leaders in their field. In itself, this wouldn't be a bad thing but the sad fact of the matter is that their efforts now actually undermine the efforts of their betters resulting in a drop off in standards right across the board.

Post of the year - chapeau!

And it's nice to see finally see some proper moderation of this kind of bilge - thank you Mild Rover.

All depends how you define 'trolling'. There are many a bigot who calls somebody a bigot, likewise with the overuse of the same card, trolling. Many respondents to a suspected troll could also be trolling themselves therefore totally blind to their demeaners and accusational slur.

So, do you lot still think Toronto will take the game away from you?

I read an awful lot of negative comments, most unfounded demeaning TWP yet fail to provide any substantial evidence that, that is the case.
As I wrote in my original post, there were pioneers who took the code to NSW and dramatically enabled the NSWRFU to switch to NU overnight and succeeded very well! Did anyone cry back then from the grim alleyways of Lancashire and Yorkshire?

Toronto owe money to their kit supplier..... This is a fact.
Toronto have not delivered a cent in TV revenue or sponsorship to the game.... That is a fact
Toronto is a side made up of journeymen anzacs and northern bits with a token Canadian in their aqua. This is also a fact.
Toronto whined like bitches when they were told they wouldn't get their games. Scheduled the way the wanted..... This is Another fact
