    Not a good situation,but if there is a plus to it then teams will less games to play and players can have a bit of a rest in what will be a hectic period of games.

    What an utter farce, another case of the sport shooting itself in the foot, its not hard to realise that an Canada based team playing in a England based league is not going to work long term.

    Yet they’re still signing players and intend to field a team for the 2021 season, absolutely baffling. They should be relegated to the championship but of course won’t be. A fine will be the punishment instead.

    It’s been on the cards since they come in really. There was never a plan from the game. This was all Eric Perez’s idea and he pushed for the inclusion of them in the game. The RFL and Super League never have had a proper plan for expansion and this is further proof of it and as much as Toronto aren’t absolvable of blame, the lack of help or strategic planning from Rugby League as a sport just makes the game look small time and amateurish.

    How the hell is that going to work? Fixtures completed to stand and Leigh play the rest of them?

    Been a complete joke since they joined SL in all honesty, this is just a continuation.

    They’ve got 22 players in their squad when everyone is fit. How were they planning on fulfilling the fixtures anyway?

    Could this news yet again delay the resumption of the season?

    Doubt it.

    They’ll just void their results from earlier in the season and the teams will get a week off when they should have played them after the restart.

    (That’s the logical solution but this is RL we’re talking about)

    Yeah, I expect this. I expect we’ll lose the points from beating them earlier this year, too.
