If the MPG is played in Toronto I think they could push Widnes close (on current form).
Salford also don't seem to be doing too hot at the minute and they've just swapped one of their best players (Hauraki) for a prop and a winger which I think overall is a downgrade.
I'm expecting Catalans to make it out of the bottom 4 before the split, possibly replaced by Huddersfield, but I think Hudds have enough to avoid the MPG either way.
Hull KR will be in the mix but how they go will be determined by how many players they can get back from injury.
As a neutral I can't wait for the middle 8s to get going, should be some very interesting matches.'"
We will spare no expense, no stone shall be left unturned, no player will be left unsigned, we will do whatever it takes, we will be at the very top of Super League in 4 years.

You should never have typed that.'"
But do you not think that a number of SL clubs have done everything in their power to win the title and still not succeeded? What makes Toronto any different? Apart from the diamond dog tags of course.

So what happens after your first season in SL where you're dead bottom of the league? What do you do then? Sign the entire NSW Side?
They'll soon decide that it's not sustainable to just keep throwing money around...
Example: The Doctor - Marwan Koukash

Example
I knew you wouldn't understand let me explain it to you in another way
We are 'The Pack' we will not be deterred, no wind can slow us, no flood sink us! We are 'The Pack' and we are on a divine mission, no naysayers can dampen us, no criticism make us second guess.....we will never quit!
We are 'The Pack'...a new day has dawned in Rugby League, a new beginning has emerged, the times they are a changing and there is a new force leading the way!
The TWP IS the Alpha and the Omega! Get it now?
P.S. Koukash is a penniless pauper to the kind of money we are dealing with on this end, we could buy and sell him a thousand times over.
As we say in the Wolfpack, "Pitter , patter lets get at her!"-our rising tide will lift everyones canoe!
"Run With The Pack!"

| You've avoided the question... What happens when you're bottom of SL next year, your team is failing and you've already invested too much?

But reality might, I think you're setting your expectations too high.

| There's a salary cap for a reason, and not only that, you can't spend up to the cap unless this is propped up by "relevant income" in terms of money generated from ticket sales, merchandising etc. (there are 19 categories in all I think) In other words, you can't just keep on throwing money at it and signing whoever you want at any cost.

I head a while ago that Toronto was exempt from the cap, dont know how true that is though.

Listen, don't take this the wrong way, but you've got to try and be more positive....there seems to be defeatist attitude among many League fans in GB, always waiting for the worst to happen, doom just around the corner maybe....I've seen it in posts from fans in numerous clubs.
We don't think like that over here, so let me answer your question:
We will never be at the bottom of Super League, our Club will never fail.....we are like a healthy young wolfling, well fed and watered, growing and fit.....we can never invest too much....you can never get too much of a good thing.....we will never quit.....we will always work harder and change a negative into a positive, we realish the fight!!!!
-This is something you seem to lack in your culture over there but it is really present in the mind set of Canada and the USA, its a way of thinking and is a legacy from our unique past, academics term it as the 'Pioneer Spirit', the id of a people that have literally hacked a country from the wilderness with nothing more than their bare hands not so long ago.....we still have it here in Canada and it is called a 'Can-do' attitude....although well put your question has no relevance to TWP, it would never even be considered as an option....totally unacceptable for us to ever entertain....WE WILL WIN, it is our destiny!

No actually, because after we win Super League we are going to go to Oz and regain the World Club Championship....The Storm will fall to us and will will be feasting on Rabbitos....its just the natural order of things.....but that will take time, but we will get there!

No truth to it whatsoever.

The problem is though, how many 'can-do' attitude Canadians are actually on the field creating results? Most of them are 'defeatist' Brits, right?
