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

Get a grip, why should this info not be in the public domain? There should be no hiding when a club fails to pay an AGREED transfer fee.

As for the good name of the TWP, if Ryan Bailey is able to publically shame you then it must be bad.

Well, if you were taking a kick at goal, this would have been direct into touch, quelle surprise !
The acid test will be when MCB makes his debut for TWP and that everyone will know that the journalist was wrong.

Let me know when this is likely to be and we can see who was right
