For once, and just this once, I tend to agree with you!   |

Jarred hickey, Tim Smith, Kevin Locke etc

They signed a former Leeds player....it doesn't get much more Wakefield than that. |

Actually proves my point. The big players let us down (not counting Tim Smith's first stint). The young hungry ones rarely do. Dean Hadley, for example. Great for us last year, because he had a point to prove. |

There were rumours (I STRESS RUMOURS) that one of the hardest jobs of the Wolfpack back room staff last season was keeping a large group of players sober. If these rumours are true, then it could get very interesting once Toronto becomes "home" for 10 weeks or so at the later half of the season, because as much as I love Canada, there's really not a lot to do in Toronto itself....... |

A few years ago Gary hetherinton was criticised for saying we should not let super league be a dumping ground for these type of miscreats. Time we showed these type if louts we dont want them in our game after they screw up in NRL. Really hope no British or french clubs sign them. |

To be fair, there wasn't an awful lot to do on the pitch either. They were over-qualified for that league. They will find it tougher this year. And at least the Canadian fans will see proper contests. |

Ryan Bailey is the gift that keeps on giving. Maybe he needs Lee Radford to smack some sense into him again

Weeks away from family and friends took its toll on some of their players. They were like an amateur team on a pre season tour. “What goes on tour stays on tour”. Some relationships almost ended after their last stint in Canada. Suffice to say, some of last seasons players had to find other UK based clubs to play for this season or risk paying for divorce lawyers. Other players are living on borrowed time until they get found out. |

There are hundreds of massage parlour's, that don't perform massage's....(allegedly) I have never visited Toronto, but prostitution is legal in the city. That's something to do, if you are a little naughty !!  |

Prostitution is legal in New Zealand.......which explains why the Warriors are always going to win it next year.....is it legal in Warrington

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£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.
