Now everyone knows I avoid it like the plague and couldn’t tell you who is doing well or struggling and I only know this coz the radio were banging on about it. One egg game finished 0-0 whilst another called the million pound game whatever that’s supposed to mean ended 4-2. The excitement must have been at fever pitch.

The excitement must have been at fever pitch.Not that I’m a RL expert (I have a passing interest in it but not enough to pay to follow it) but I’m not aware of a 0-0 scoreline in recent history although the Wigan v Castleford gran final semi-final was 14-0 so quite low scoring.
The 4-2 scoreline did happen between Toronto & London but I didn’t see any of it to say whether it was entertaining or rubbish.
That said some of the best RL games I’ve seen have been low scoring affairs whilst some of the most boring have been high scoring (either one sided or a lot of points both ways).
I should also point out that we’ve all seen dull as dishwater Latics games during our time!!I watched the Toronto v London game, and it certainly wasn’t dull. I lost count how many times a Toronto player got over the line only to have a London player putting part of his body between the ball and the ground to prevent a try – it was defence at its finest from the Broncos.
Prior to that game, I watched Liverpool v Man City that was billed by Sky as the game of the season – it was utter shit.
Hang on a bit I may know nowt about Rugby and I care even less but my geography is shit hot. Why the feck would London play Toronto last time I looked neither were in what you would call egg playing territory. And mutt why the f..k.n hell would you actually watch it. Canadians only play sports that involve full faced safety helmets or snow. Jeesus wept the standard must have been high NOT. And why was a million quid riding on it, was it for a bet.

Wonder where the lads go for their pleasures I mean where in London could you hitch up with a sheep.

And why was a million quid riding on it, was it for a bet.London’s had a team for the best part of 30 years (although admittedly its been on the brink of extinction numerous times)
Toronto have had a team for 2 seasons & get an average of 4,200 with almost 12k on for a game against Leeds. I think a wealthy ex-pat is bankrolling them & can’t see it lasting if his money dries up – they’re also talking about a team in New York??? I think Toronto’s home games are played in a block of weeks so they’re based in Canada for that period & then Blighty for the restNow everyone knows I avoid it like the plague and couldn’t tell you who is doing well or struggling and I only know this coz the radio were banging on about it.

Do they actually play their home matches in CanadaYes they do. As TL said earlier, they play them in blocks because the weather isn’t that great in February & March.

How the hell can the teams from this country afford to waste all that money travelling to Canada to play games when they can barely afford to keep afloat. I can’t see the Batley and Hunslet fans travelling in droves to Toronto.
What a farce of a sport.
