We’ve been obsessed with expansion since the debate twenty odd years ago about mergers and franchises. I read a website suggesting the development of Cumbria Lakers, Ireland, New York, and Cornwall. I live in Cornwall and it’s more likely that Cornwall will become capitol of Europe than a Super League force!

Will we see Toronto, New York, Chicago, Perth, Ireland, London, Barcelona all making up a league with Saints, Wigan, Leeds, Bradford, Hull and Manchester. It seems like total pie in the sky to me. Is it even desirable. I’m afraid I’m not sure what Ma Dermott is on about. Will Toronto strengthen our hand to negotiate TV deals? Will they develop the league and the game overall or not
