Quote RHINO-MARK="RHINO-MARK"So its the Sports fault if another PR Stunt of a Club fails?
What type of "support" should be offered exactly?
If it fails the blame is the Owners/,Directors fault for not having a Clue how to build & maintain a pro RL Club just like it was with PSG & Celtic Crusaders we may have numerous issues we need the RGL/SL to get a grip on running their Club for them isnt one of them.'"
What has failed exactly tho? Nothing. The issue is people are desperate for it to fail.
I repeat, and ive no idea if it will happen, but if Toronto and Ottawa can attract a TV deal or a mega sponsorship deal in the North American sports market it will be a game changer for the entire sport.
Rugby Union are trying and so should we.
When i talk about support, is asking them for 500k just to play in the Challenge Cup the right way to go? Or is that a move to cheese them off? The visa issues which should be sorted by the RFL and Toronto are constsntly causing issues, bad headlines and nonsense really needs to gotten a grip of. Thats the support im talking about.
The amount of people getting giddy on social media about Toronto folding last week was unreal especially when they all knew they have just signed Watkins, Ward, Myler and looks like Hall. Does that sound like a club about to fold? Are those players really signing for a club that doesnt pay its players? Its all people who see more potential in Whitehaven than Canada desperate for it to fail im afraid.
Toronto could actually be good for RL.
