Picking up what other boards are saying here.
But we might not be losing Myler and Ward to TWP due to problems they are facing.
Several overseas signings have exceeded their visas due to the delays in getting the season started due to Covid 19.
This could mean they would not fulfill their remaining fixtures if and when the season does resume.
Not sure how this works as the season would have run until October anyway!

Usual hysteria and storm in a tea cup stuff regarding Toronto. Visas will be sorted by noises made by RFL who have been dealing with it for months with Home Office.

I would have thought the bigger issues for Toronto are financial rather than visa related right now based on what is being reported.

They won't be alone in that though sadly.

Liam Kay signing for Wakefield imminently too. Takes them down to 15 player for the restart if visas aren’t sorted. Rumours of them constantly being paid late too.

Totally agree. Too much hysteria always about Toronto.

No. It's not rubbish. Their financial issues have been well documented.

Doesnt it seem strange that Toronto players never know when they are getting paid yet players are always queueing up to gp there and agents never stop them going by the looks. Pretty close knit group RL players yet none of them seem to talk other players out of going there.

Doesnt add up to me. Seems odd.

I know what you are saying Marty but agents/players will sign up where more money is being offered.

Has echoes of Salford under Koukash to me.

Sadly I think you are right. No doubt Argyle is a wealthy guy but he didn't get that way by throwing his money away. There is no money to be made in RL yet I imagine it takes a fair bit of dosh to set up from scratch, come up through the league's flying whole squads over all season with little fan base.

Toronto simply wouldn't survive without him and the sport is looking at clubs in NYC and Ottawa. It's a wonderful pipe dream but I just don't see how it works longterm.

No money to be made in North American sport???? Im not saying they will or wont but Argylle knows 1 TV or major sponsorship deal will make his investment look like a very wise move.

The potential of Toronto and soon Ottawa is staggering compared to teams over here and that is why we should offer as much support as possible.

Unfortunately RL is too short sighted and has no vision or ambition whatsoever. Union has a professional league in States in next year or so. They will reap the benefits no doubt.

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.
