Surely part time boxer and serieal code hopper SBW is the talk of the toronto pack.....'"
Considering the toronto sun, toronto mail and the globe covered reports about the SBW signing on a daily basis...
You are once again talking out of your rear and your bitterness is getting really embarassing |

Considering you and your multiple aliases post from a secure unit in the shire, I'll take anything you spew with a kilo of Salt.
1. The Sun. 6 days ago and lost in the obscure "other sports" section, listed after womens soccer....hardly daily and hardly a headline
rlhttps://torontosun.com/sports/other-sports/wolfpack-make-it-official-signing-new-zealand-superstar-to-two-year-dealrl
2. Toronto Globe and Mail.....same company, same reporters BTW... Struggling to find even a mention of the signing but again, nothing for a week
rlhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/rl
See Stephelrbronjamesbazza or whatever you're logged in as......the Toronto Press doesn't know or care who either SBW or The Wolfpack are.
Let me know when their major North American TV slots in BTW.....you know, the one where they don't have to pay the production company (when they actually pay their bills) and then give it free of charge to anyone who needs "filler" stock  |

I've just posted a link to the last report in the sun nearly a week ago and couldn't find anything recent in the globe'n'mail.....the ONLY people who think this is a big deal are RL people....and given it's the off season, that's to be expected, but one the NRL season starts, the Aussies won't care and other than a few dozen keyboard heroes on this site, totalfacistrl and a couple of others, nobody in the UK will either. |

So, over on WWW.RLFASCIST .COM, there's a debate about the best (ie, the cheapest) way to get to Toronto for games this coming season.
It would seem that Toronto have yet to declare there ticketing for the season other than Season Tickets, priced very reasonably at CA$399, but other than ticketing, the issue seems to be around the cost of direct flights, accommodation, the duration of the stay and the overall cost of travelling across the pond to watch a game of Rugby.......which I think is a deliciously ironic topic, given most RL fans won't attend games on Thursday nights because "it's a drag".
Anyway, the general consensus seems to be about £1,100-£1,300 will be the cost for a 5 -7 day trip, so I was wondering if Jean was making the trip when Catalans play in Toronto over the August Bank Holiday weekend, or will he be at Shark Park cheering on his beloved Sharkies? |

Unfortunately, the poster, formally known as Lebron James, isn't too well known for the accuracy of his posting and is generally a WUM.
He stopped posting completely for a while and then made a comeback, under a new name, when Saints found their bottle.
SBW didn't manage daily news coverage when he was at the peak of his career and although he is a great, if expensive signing for TWP, he isn't going to be headline news anytime soon, especially in a city already dominated by other mainstream sports.
Good luck to the player though, who has been box office for most of his career. |

Granted, the numbers involved on their own aren't significant but, everyone has some personal responsibility.
Moving back to RL, what steps are the Wolfpack taking to develop the junior game in Canada, as this is THE most important aspect of establishing RL in Toronto and just for a bit of fun, when do you think the first Canadian player will make their debut for this magnificent club.'"
You are the creator of extinction rebellion and I claim my £5.

Never know, we may be pleasantly surprised by the level of coverage when he actually arrives there and does the usual press stuff. Equally there may be barely a ripple. |

I've said many times that TWP have done a superb job in promoting a new sport in a "virgin" area and of all the SL clubs, they already appear to be head and shoulders above the rest of the sport in terms pf their promotion and publicity (mind you it's much easier when money doesn't matter).
IF their attendance numbers are to be believed, they should be now be capable of selling out The Lamport Stadium for every home game, which would be superb and if they are here for the long term it would be great to see them playing out of a "better" facility.
We all have to see how it runs and they must, must find a way to develop at least some of their own players, although Im not sure how this can happen without junior rugby being sold to the masses.
It's "easy" to plant a side in new territory but, sustaining it is a whole different ball game. |

The Chinese press have ran an article on SBWs move to Toronto. The Chinese press have never commented on the London Broncos, even when Branson was in charge.
This just proves that the whole world knows who Toronto Wolfpack are but have no idea who the London Broncos are

Chinese State Media has run no story on anything to do with SBW. The English written South China Morning Press has.....it has a circulation of 100,000 expats. Choir already knew who SBW was lebronbazza.....the SCMP preaches to english speaking ex-pats 13k away from toronto, slightly closer than you are (Sydney to Toronto v HK to Toronto) |

Just returned from holiday where most of the guests were Americans and Canadians. Now I know Canada is a big place, But a few groups had people with blue jay T shirts. Thought it would be interesting to see if any of the Canadians knew of the Toronto Wolfpack. Only one person had heard of them as they had just signed SBW but he thought they were a rugby union side! Did my best to convince them to go and give it a look ( it’s better than rounders for men ).
