Finally these fools have seen the light and got rid of this leach Noble. How on earth this bloke has been able to steal a good living for many years on the back of a few years success at Bradford is beyond me. He is an expert of overspending and coming up with absolutely nothing. Every club or job he has had since Bradford he has made a complete hash of and yet these fools keep queuing up to give him another overpaid job. His comments today about the success of Toronto under during his time.....what a croc of crap. He put together a team of Highly paid Full time super League and NRL Players/rejects and played them in League 1 and the championship against part time players and sees that as a great achievement - What a joke this bloke is. He could not manage a hump in a brothel and the sooner he is out of the game the better. He is known in the game for screwing over everyone and is a leach.

Quote: Steph Curry "Hardly a loss for Toronto is it'"


What a daft thoughtless comment. It's so easy to kick someone when they are down.

Has it not occurred to you and all the others slagging Noble off that he had the very hard job ofPLAYER DEVELOPMENT & RECRUITMENT

Has it not occurred to you and several others on here and most of TotalRL.com that the Wolfpack failed to stimulate any junior of grassroots Rugby League in Canada, despite them climbing the league ladder here to the top division. It's no good talking about 25 years time when there is absolutely zero interest in RL in Canada and Union have every rugby loving Canadian kid tied up except Ngwati. There is no work to do for Nobby simple as that.

As for recruitment how can he recruit anyone when every penny possible is now spent, probably for this year and next as a number of players were signed to the end of the TV deal in September 2021. It's not that TWP can ask Nobby to bring in better players for next season. You know Steph....The season when you think TWP will have acclimatised to Superleague and can kick on and win it?

It was excrutiatingly hard for Noble to get players interested in the American dream and tens of thousands of miles travelling and living out of a suitcase. What few players were happy to do it were only happy if they were heavily overpaid. So who is left to actually sign, apart from the odd misfit like Gigot? Over to you Steph?.

Quote: wire-quin "Carney seemed to suggest Ottawa on Sky tonight'"


Well I would guess that some people may swallow that, do you? Do you Wrencat?

TWP are demonstrating....

a. It's a fact nobody wants to play grass roots RL in Canada and only Union has a set up for a junior RU game there, plus TWP say they aren't even going to try to develop any players.

b. Not many pro-players want to play in Canada whether Toronto or Ottawa. What few did, have gone there in exchange for contracts worth a small fortune each.

c. Toronto's investment is to date many many $$$Millions spent and heavily in debt to the tune of many $$$Millions.

Carney is an astute guy bound to say only positive things about the game even though he knows there will be no Ottawa. However I may have missed Perez signing up players for their League one bid next year? Anyone seen anything?? I know a few have dreampt quite a lot of things.....

Bring it on IR80 set out for me the American dream. TWP there.....New York and Ottawa on their way........

The fact Sadler's opinion means so much to you is a little sad.

No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.:

'"


Congratulations on getting the words WORK and NOBBY in the same sentence.
He works so hard for Toronto that he is able to spend so long with the BBC.
He is a favourite with the RFL that whenever they speak to 'wealthy' new club owners - he gets the gigs.
Moss and Roberts at Crusaders,Wrexham.But leaves when it seems they aren't spending any money.
Koukash at Salford - then,of course,Toronto.
His ability for player recruitment and development shown perfectly while at Salford.
He recruits Smith from Wakefield and Chase from Castleford.
He releases Sneyd and Fages - these 2 go on to Finals,and silverware at Hull FC and St Helens.
Smith and Chase succumb to alcohol and other drugs.
Toronto happened to sign lots of players from Leigh,as Rowley was head coach,and it was McDermott who met with and signed SBW.
Noble,while with his friends in mainstream media,talked about turning grid iron,and other athletes,into rugby league players.
It,and he,don't seem to have worked.

Oh dear - here comes the censor.....

Don't you think that since the winter of 2017 every day for over three years people have been proclaiming the American dream on here and on TRL, that's thousands and thousands of posts from dozens of people on two websites. The message was always the same BORING TWP are the future- we heard it what 10 times a day on both sites, making what? 10,000 BORING "[iTWP are the future"[/i posts with no supporting evidence.

Then we had two weekly RL papers totalling a couple of hundred editions that also repetetively told us the Americans will save the day. Yet somehow you don't like to hear the opposite opinion - It makes me think you may actually still believe all that nonsense.?

How many posts have Steph and Jean put up on here telling us the future for Rugby league lies anywhere but along the staid and boring backwater of the M62??. I didn't notice you telling them to give it a rest, so on that basis I do not accept for a minute you ever thought the American dream was flawed as you were happy to let others repeat it thousands of times.

I think it's always worth reminding people of the facts that it's all phoney, your not allowed to do that on TRL - bans all round. This is a free speech RL website where traditionalists aren't hounded down - well not until you started on me icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Quote: fartown since 1961 "But where are those new audiences ? Like Catalans this is heading one way the only new fans are within a small geographical area, any media growth of the game is non existent as there isn’t a French or Canadian TV deal.

The purpose of relegating the 11th placed team (sounds ridiculous even now) and ring fencing Catalans was to get a competitive French National team which has failed !!! All we have is a team in a small region of France not a French team competing with England, Australia and NZ which might have done the international game and the next World Cup some good.Now that might attract new fans.

In reality apart from having owners with a few bob the teams could be in Featherstone, London or Leigh and make no less impact.

As for SBW and Folau ones in it for a massive amount of cash, the other cos no one else will have him, yeah fans are gonna switch from union or ice hockey in their droves. For better or worse the UK is an island of which England is a part and that’s where the teams should come from cos European/Transatlantic superleague sounds totally daft...'"

This.
Without Catalans or Toronto on TV in their respective countries, then there will be no spreading of the game in either country.
