Here's a conversation for you - "paul, I want to get Toronto in the Superleague in 5 years" "ok, in Championship 1 I need Championship players to win it. In the championship, I need super league players to win it. If thats the case, I'll get you into Super league in 3"

Not sure why people have an issue. If I had a business and had the chance to be multinational in 3 years, I wouldn't P**s around in the markets of Barrow selling socks for a pound, thinking of what could have been. Toronto have 23 players in their squad this year. If you compare their squad to Wigan's then the salary cap seems very very insignificant.

To put into perspective what North America thinks of sport - the Blue Jays signed Bautista on a 5 year deal for 65 million dollars, circa 11 million dollars a year. £7 million pounds. our cap is £1.825 million FOR A TEAM. They laugh at our cap but believe our sport is brilliant. Another Canadian team, then New York, then Chicago etc etc. In 5 years the North American league will be asking Wigan, Leeds, Saints to join their league. At this time, the fact that Swinton, Halifax and Bradford founded the league will mean very little.

As is your small deprived suburb of Wakefield mentality.

That's what makes it so funny, even if you do win it the Cup belongs to Wakefield as Cas isn't really a place

A Catalan v Toronto Cup or Grand final would be interesting.

It would be a marketing man's nightmare.......and would only then pour more petrol in the flames of the idiotic "away fans debate".

On the topic of the Wolfpack signings, London Broncos permitted Andy Ackers to leave his contract early, because the poor little mite was "Homesick"......bless.

He immediately signed for the Wolfpack.....which begs the questions:

1. Is this indicative of the player having no morals, or his new coach doing what he always does.....and
2. Should, as we seem to be becoming a more "global" sport stamp on this sort of behaviour now?

Fair play to Toronto for showing the ambition. They initially stated that they wanted to be a superleague team within 5 years but they could be very serious contenders at the end of this season. As a Warrington fan getting that kind of transfer fee for a player coming into the last year of his contract was an offer we couldn't refuse. For Toronto they obviously decided that they needed to strengthen the loose forward position. If they had managed to get the deal for Sean o loughlin over the line then I would have made them almost certainties for promotion this year.
