If his new contract is not authorised by the RFL, he remains a registered Wakefield player.

Wakefield might decide to take TO to task over the fee and resultant costs, i.e. having to keep paying MCB.

Whether they would want to do that, I don't know.

I doubt either MCB or his agent are enamoured by TO at this moment.

MCB may be needed by Toronto who have had both their wingers go off injured against Halifax

Cheers for that, knew i wasn't far off

Well then they can fork up the 10k then. Surely that isn't a problem for them?

...and as the transfer deadline has passed it should no longer be possible to register him as a TWP player....

This entire story has been created by a single post from Mark Wilson, who started a Twitter post just before the weekend with "It is my understanding that .... " Not one person, neither club, nor the player himself has said anything to confirm or deny or explain the situation. And Caton-Brown was apparently with the Wolfpack at the Shay today.

Nevertheless, the entire tinfoil brigade is out hurling accusations at Toronto in advance of anything beyond one man's "understanding". Crumbs, don't you folk have better things to do.

Michael Carter's twitter feed says otherwise!

Someone questioned his integrity and honesty, so he called them out.

Have a look in his tweets/replies.

Come on Brian Noble, stop crying about Toronto Globetrotters travelling costs, and get your boss to pay Wakefield Trinity the money that they owed.

Thanks for directing me to that page. Happy to stand corrected if it's true, but why would it get leaked to a local journalist instead of being dealt with directly?

How the journo found out, I have no idea (and neither do you), but that's certainly not Carter's MO.

Pretty standard for sports clubs to leak things to local journalists all the time. Puts more pressure on the RFL to actually do something about it if the public know about it.

Michael Carter confirmed the fee has been paid and everyone is happy again.

Let me guess, he's available for Saturday ironically as you had both your starting wingers crocked on Sunday - all very convenient

Only one reason this was leaked to the press. To sully the good name of Toronto Wolfpack. He should get his own house in order first
