Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "The big problem for a Super league club would be his asking price. He is currently allegedly earning AU$800,000. That converts to around £445,000. Even if he took a 20% pay cut, he would have to be a marquee player to fit under the salary cap of a Super League club. But who could afford him?
Leaving aside the clubs that are probably already content with their centres (Leeds, Wigan, St Helens, Catalans) and clubs that already have two marquee players (e.g. Warrington), it is hard to think of which club could afford him at close to his asking price. Hull FC? Hull KR? London? I don't know the answer.'"
Hull won't go for him. We have 3 good centres already on the books in Connor, Tuimivave and Griffin.

£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "You mean that you don't keep up with the premier competition of rugby league.
Well let me tell you that Richard "Ricky" Leutele was in 2018 one of the ace centres of the NRL, playing with the Cronulla Sharks. He would be an asset to any northern hemisphere team, and will shine with the Toronto Wolfpack. The Canadian team will soon be in Super League, challenging the likes of Wakefield to try to keep within 20 points behind.'"
I thought that was supposed to be happening this season, after Tremendous Toronto walked the Grand Final against Lowly London.
With the spend that Toronto have on their squad, when compared to the rest of The Championship, their promotion really should be a foregone conclusion but, so it was last season as well.
Dont count Les Poulets just yet
