Quote: paulwalker71 "I think its partly about money, yes.
But surely there's more to it with Toronto? Signing for Toronto is an adventure, a project that has something fresh and new about it. It involves living part of the year in a buzzing and vibrant city in Canada, and being part of something that could break the mould of rugby league as we know it.
You'd have to agree, surely, that this represents a more exciting and interesting prospect than signing up for a busted fallen giant that has recent history of not paying it's employees, and has training in the cold and wet Bradford weather?
Or to put it more simply. If a player is offered exactly the same money to join Toronto or the Bulls, which do you think they'd choose?'"
I think it's all about the "Vision".
I would imagine it would be just as easy to sell the packing of getting the Bulls back to the top, with the promise of a super competitive team, with the guaranteed backing of finance. We are a brand, that still holds a place in the recent greats.
Also worth remembering these players that are going to Toronto for a wedge of cash, can't admit that, so an "Adventure" is the next best excuse.
At the same salary, with same "safe" rich owners, i'd expect the Bulls to be just as attractive, if not more so (think about players with families) than the Toronto project.
