| Quote: The Silent H "Genuine question for fans of Leigh and current championship clubs.
Genuine consensus on these threads is that Toronto should be dropped a division or two. If this were to occur, they would probably favorites for promotion at next years end. This would create a problem for ambitious champ clubs who would have their promotion chances greatly reduced.
What would you prefer? Toronto to stay in super league or drop to championship but therefore reducing your clubs chances of success?'"
What squad of players will Toronto have next season, will they be in a position to max the cap and who would sign for them - difficult to see what there set up will be for next season irrespective of which league the will be in

He gave you two false choices on purpose.
As it stands the sole owner of the club has walked and all the players are up for sale.
There is no Toronto Wolfpack apart from the remnants being wound up.
Try this, If YOU could choose who would you put in Superleague in their place??
Same genuine question for anyone else?

| Quote: Cokey "My concern is how will the RFL make a 12 team SL next year? If a team from the championship is cherry picked it will cause a lot of controversy ,and will cause unwelcome ramifications. There MUST be a playoff for promotion with clubs who would be willing to enter.'"
This sounds like a sensible plan.
However, with players and staff furloughed and no plans to begin training, how would you start up any play off competition ?
Unless a format could be agreed amongst the Championship clubs, with agreement from SL that the winner had the right to be promoted, it's a non runner.
Even if the top 4/6 clubs were heavily in favour, what about the rest and it's worth noting that every game would add to the losses of the clubs involved.
The cost of players, staff, medics and rental of "covid safe" stadia etc, makes it all the more difficult to get going.
Having said that, some sort of mini league, with the winners gaining promotion, has to be better than some kind of arbitrary vote or cherry picking a club of SL's choice -this would be massively unpopular accross the sport.
Perhaps it's up to the Championship clubs to come up with a plan and force the issue ?

Be serious for once.
What would you choose?
You champion English champ clubs and have said recently that Toronto should be in championship. If that is where they are to restart, then it makes life a lot harder for Widnes, Bradford, Leigh, London etc.

| Quote: The Silent H "That's not the question I asked.'" I think he did answer you just not willing to except it
you class Toronto as favourites to come back up if they get demoted not relegated as they chose not to complete the season, but you won't have a clue if they will have any players left or even have a team to compete, this your problem you don't accept reality your still binkered to the so called expansion dreams
Come back when you can see the bigger picture when we all know what is happening

| Just read about Ricky Leutele - hasn’t been paid for 2 months, the house the club were renting for him (Part of his contract) he’s being evicted from due to unpaid rent, the car they leased for him has been taken back as not paid for, his visa has expired and he’s having to pay for own flights home (again which club had agreed to pay for).... There’s lots of talk around the game of them not paying their bills - doesn’t sound good - I know there’s an argument they’ve had their hands tied behind their back with no central funding or support, but that is what they signed up to.... there must be serious concerns for their future existence.

| Quote: Donnyman "icon_eek.gif What did you ask him/her back for!!
We know what happened!! Argyle dumped £18,000,000 into his fantasy.
He then decided to dump the fantasy itself and is currently on Toronto Market selling the teams kit, and the balls, which is just about all that's left of it.
Apart from the debts

It's not an argument when you have a £Billionaire owner is it??.
He's just stopped bothering with the club.
He's rich enough to pay his debts up this afternoon.
Small change to him but very important to the families of the players not being paid when he can pay them.
Disgrace.

So was licensing but they did it and the clubs had to lump it.
I'm with you however, Let Leigh and London who lost Superleague places unfairly - Leigh from 11th. and London to a phoney don't pay your bills club play off for the last spot in Superleague 2021.
Absolutely sorted
