If Toronto do get in SL, there is a belief that they don’t get a portion of Sky money.

In which case the question is whether all the clubs get their share of £1.65m (£150,000 each).

New York have already got a TV deal lined up by all accounts.

And Toronto already have a tv deal over there. Whether it can generate financial income I don’t know but if it does, then we have a decision to make on whether we pool broadcasting deals together and split the money.

If it’s under what Sky give current clubs then the others will be fine for that to happen but as soon as it gets above £1.65m, clubs will probably kick up a stink.

Old wives tale. If Toronto make it to superleague they will be eligible to the same tv payments as every other team. Their payment to clubs to fund travel etc also ends. There is no guaranteed deal from the Canadian side at this point either and if it comes about it won’t worth be a fortune anyway.

If Sonny bill has signed for Toronto next year, you just watch the crowd at Cas grow for that!

This Wakefield thread began on all things tigers now it has morphed into a Toronto thread.
The cost of the away fixture will cost clubs tens of thousands and if you played them twice.
February the temperature can be a bit colder than Odsal Top.
Expansion yes but look at the cost implications.
The logistics and cost make no economic sense.
But Redhall and common sense are not even on nodding terms.

I think as the fixture list has fallen Sky would love another Million pound match up (Wakefield v London last game).

Despite their form i reckon Wakefield will find another win from somewhere,probably after Carter shows Chester the door.

[JIN JER]

We desperately need a win from somewhere and I really can't see where it's coming from. One win would probably be enough, I'd guess we'll be Targetting Hull and Wigan at home, Hull can be hit and miss and Wigan tonked us but are a very average team. Nervous times for us. I keep saying to myself, "it's only a game, it will be a laugh doing the Championship" but that's complete ball peckers.

wonder what was said at half time on thursday. certainly looked a different team in the 2nd half. saints haven't done you any favours today with their team selection versus london.

In my opinion saints have earned that team selection with their season so far,and the pre season that proceeded that (clearly they are fitter than the rest). Isn't their fault most of the league is sub standard in 2019.

Anyway its Nice to be top of the West Yorkshire pile at the moment...lets enjoy it

i thought halifax next week would have been the best option for resting players rather than london.

Can't afford to take the risk of that backfiring on them,plus Saints haven't been to Wembley in over 10 years. for club of their stature that pretty remarkable.

There is no cost financially as its paid by Toronto maybe even out of there sky money. The cost is the travelling to the players and their recovery.

If / when Toronto do get into SL, the clubs have to pay for their travel and accommodation.

Toronto only agree'd to pay for the travel and accommodation in the lower leagues.

[casjunction]

Thanks Stevie the TV l thought that was the case.
So as l said it makes no commercial sense.
A severe injury requiring hospitalisation would be a nightmare.
When you factor in the away support you have another fixture where revenue is affected.
I know some argue that clubs should not rely on away fans but it is a welcome funding stream.

I'm surprised at that, they must either be getting Torontos sky money or something else. The flight costs alone must be 15k.probably 30 players and staff at a discount of £500 each.

What will happen to the loop fixtures? And surely monetarily and travel wise hurts the 3 teams that have to make the trip. I can't see them voting them in unless there's more money.

I looked on the wakey forum last night and Carter's on discussing Rocky Hampshires contract surely something would tell him that's not the smartest thing to be doing
As someone said on there he's thrown him under the bus on the supporters forum without him having any chance to reply

I can kind of understand Carter having an account on RLfans, suppose it's a good way of keeping up to date with how the fan base are feeling, however, for him to be interacting with fans like he is on that thread is madness.

However, reading between the lines, it looks like the agent is the one creating the issue, said agent for Hampshire is seems to be non other than SMTMUK.

It'll be a pity if he leaves, his heart is genuinely at Belle vue, he came to Perpignan with us as a specci about ten years since.
