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.

Exactly. Toronto don't seem like a very well run club, and there are definitely issues that need sorting, but if RL can gain even a 1 or 2% share of of the north American market then that's probably worth more than the entire British game.

Visas are & always have been a Govt issue Clubs here have struggled with Visas in the past how is that the RFL's fault?

Everything that’s been said of TWP could be said of London Broncos. If either of their owners walked away the club would go bust the next day, I just really don’t think David Argyle’s going anywhere.

Isn’t that just the complete contradiction of what is said on the transfer thread? They are doing exactly what people are saying Leeds and others shouldn’t do, yet it is ok if it’s Toronto.

Think about it Marty. They are shafting some, as shown by these reports, in order to make publicity news signings. When these new players also fail to get paid, it will be rinse, repeat.

Toronto Wolfpack are set to add Halifax forward Paul Brearley to their squad in 2021. League Express can reveal the Wolfpack are close to finalising a deal. He is Toronto’s second signing from the Championship ahead of 2021, with Brearley set to join Toulouse’s James Bell in Brian McDermott’s squad next season. Deals for Ryan Hall, Stevie Ward, Richie Myler and Ben Flower are all thought to have been completed for next year too. Meanwhile, League Express understands current Wolfpack backrower Bodene Thompson has signed a new long-term deal with the club. Thompson, 31, joined the club last season and has gone on to make 27 appearances for the club, scoring five tries. A Super League Grand Finalist with Warrington in 2018, Thompson is believed to have signed a multi-year deal with the club and joins the likes of Gareth O’Brien, Matty Russell and Anthony Mullally in committing to the club. https://www.totalrl.com/wolfpack-to-sign-fax-forward/

I’m sure they have some short term financial problems, which no doubt will be sorted by David Argyle, but if things were so bad how would TWP be managing to sign and keep so many high profile players for 2021?

The problem isn't resources, they just don't seem to be run very professionally. I hope they get things sorted. They could be great for the game.

The players haven't turned up for training as scheduled as they haven't been paid - can't see them being ready for he triple header!

They can't blame visa rules for not paying players

Toronto will no longer continue in SL in 2020 yea great for SL.
Cue the statements blaming everyone & anyone except the Cowboy PR merchant that runs them.

That must mean P & R will be scrapped.

They intend running a team in 2021, supposedly. If reports of them not paying staff are true then they should be disabused of that notion straight away.

I don’t know what to think about this, I absolutely want/wanted toronto to succeed, however im not sure they should be just allowed to stay in SL, surely they should have seen this coming and not let it get as far as letting fixtures being announced?
