Nice one. So if Wigan started to really struggle financially,you would be happy if the game flourished without you?
BTW - I do understand the loop fixtures, I was using Wigan & Toronto as an example.
Talking of selling tickets to your home fans,your attendances have been going down .......haven't they?

I don't want Wigan to struggle financially but I do want the game to flourish. If you offered me an SL with a lot more money with London, New York, Paris, Toronto etc in the top division and Wigan in the Championship then yes I'd take that if it meant the game was significantly stronger and we were able to retain our top talent, have a better international game etc.

Yep attendances have been going down for us, hopefully bringing in Hastings and Burgess, holding fan days and the team finding form whilst playing more attractive rugby will help that. It's been on the slide for a good while even whilst we've won trophies.

The whole concept was nuts from the start. I don't see any merit in this Canadian franchise. Just another White Eleohant

Do you think you would be viable in the championship?
Mind you,whilst you're at it, you'll only embarrass Him.

It is what it is at the end of the day. If they get promoted, which they should do, then so be it.Personally I'm not that fussed/annoyed by them anymore, now Paul 'Mr Morals' Rowley has departed.
