We do not play in the same way as any team on the other side of the Atlantic plays as they have to play in batches because of the financial cost of travel involved and also the time spent by players travelling on a plane if they had to play fixtures every two weeks on a regular home and away turnaround.
We only play in a couple of batches because Whelan who owned the stadium decided that we play away when there were problems with the pitch and it was being relaid on a regular basis. As the problems seems to have been resolved, judging by the way that the pitch is now standing up to two teams playing on it for the year, there should now be no reason for us not to revert to regular home and away fixture.
And I not missing any point and it is not hypocritical as the two examples are unrelated to each other, especially where the cost of cost of travel is concerned and the time that players would spend on a plane during a season.

The main reason why having any professional clubs in North America playing in our Super League is doomed to failure, especially if the owners of the clubs see that the club is losing money and not making a profit.
What they need to do is follow the example of American Soccer by setting up their own league of clubs with players imported from the other rugby league playing nations of the world and perhaps even with players from the already established Rugby Union game in North America.
Just like game started in the South of France a few years ago.
