Or Bradford? (Ducks for cover)

Clickbait thread title.

Toronto will be fine. They'll either get Visa extensions or loan players to finish out the year similar to Nz Warriors.

""As I (Mr Davidson Sports Journo) understand it, the visa situation at Toronto Wolfpack is just the tip of the iceberg - players are continually paid wages late, creditors are owed money, they face one lawsuit in Canada and the business model sees them lose millions every year. There's more to come on this"".

latest informed view....... One thing they have always been good at is talk.......

You need to take that back, the Toronto players are of the same racial mix as all the other Superleague squads. There is no question of racism on this site.....

What about Newcastle Widnes and Bradford? WHAT ABOUT a six club tournament in October/November to see who gets promoted into TWP's place.

That is if they did leave the league. Nothing has been decided yet, the Visas may just be extended.

Whether Argyle extends (or maybe resurrects, that may be the better word) his philanthropy is another thing....

Definitely not Fax. The club hasn't got the finances or strength behind the scenes for SL.

TWP aren't gone yet, and one thing Fax do have is some good players...Here is Argyle“It’s been suggested to us that we could loan young players from other clubs, but we’re not here to make up the numbers and we never have been. We didn’t hire Brian McDermott as coach to do that. We also feel that it would be dangerous for us to fill our squad with other clubs' juniors, especially at a time when players might only have four days’ rest between matches.”[/i

So as it appears that the Championship isn't going to return, there could well be some very good senior lads in the Championship who could be loaned out to TWP to join the 17 TWP players not affected by the Visa issues. Fax have half a dozen don't they and they only have to play here if they have jobs. Fairbank. Tyrer, Murrell, Sharpe????

When there is no relegation why is Argyle concerned about the quality of their squad if the visas are not extended for their non based UK players ? It would only affect their chances of maybe a challenge cup run, doubt they would have finished near the top of SL anyway.

Far preferable imo

None of them are near SL standard and Sharp is at York now.

Has it not? Thought they had SL ambitions last set of qualifiers they contested?
You may be right in your statement but reading about Toronto's business model I think Fax or Bulls offer more right now

This just shows how much little clout rugby league has. Remember the issues Matt Cecchin had in getting a visa. They even had to make a new job title for him to try and get one.

Other sports wouldn't have this issue.

It’s about time both the Super league and RFL got their act together and sorted this out once and for all.

Whilst I am what most people would call a ‘flat capper’ I didn’t want foreign teams in the RFL, the league has two major problems with TWP and Catalans Dragons.

My take is as the RFL/SL accepted them happily in the good times, there should be no talk of either not been supported, the Cats should be able to play in France in front of 5,000 supporters as is their right and any team refusing to travel to play them should be expelled from the league, as the other 11 teams have a duty to travel to France the Cats home ground, to fulfil their fixture and there is no possible excuse not to do so. Whilst I don’t particularly like Bernard Guasch his comments on this are correct.

If the RFL has done it’s homework they will have known about the UK visa issue with Torontos Australasian overseas players and possible Canadian Visa issues with UK players in a state of emergency.

As again they accepted TWP into the league so it is up to the RFL and SL to come up with a solution satisfactory to the TWP.

Even if that means suspending relegation for 2020 for a TWP and allowing them to opt out of the rest of 2020. They should also supply the money to offset the TWP losses due to no RL in Canada 2020.

If they want to be ‘left field’ they could exempt TWP, re-set the points to zero and play a season with 11 teams with a top four play off and the bottom two teams relegated to allow the fast tracking of Toulouse and Ottawa to create two ‘offshore’ derbies in countries ear marked for expansion and continue the RFL’s expansion into overseas markets to stop the decline the game has seen in the last 10/15 years.

This would make for compulsive TV watching for the fans and SKY.

Whilst I would still prefer to watch the RL with UK teams I believe that we must ‘grasp’ the future the game has chosen and support the TWP in any way we can.

The RFL have ‘made our bed‘ now is the time to ‘lie in it’ for what they are convinced is for the good of the game.’

Nope the club is skint. They did have ambitions but it was more dreams than reality. Not sure what you see in Bulls to suggest they offer more than TW, they are a complete basket case. If you want a properly run club look at Fev.
