How is "let us in and the players will be paid" a bad thing?

At the moment there is no other avenue foreseeable of them getting paid unfortunately.

Just restart next year Covid permitting, as they would have done this year. It's the simplest decision.

I don't agree here as we do not know exactly where or why TWP may fit in in the future. Not that long ago Lenegan talked about a reducing TV deal, he looked forward to a "national" league, and even took a 2 leagues x10 English clubs format to a vote.

But times always chance and we now read (RL & LE Letters page and Editorial) that American media giant Comcast who own SKY Sports could be interested in screening a transatlantic league that could pay way more than the current SKY deal (double has been suggested). The alternative to that if that is what they want, is what exactly? Can we stick to the current clubs and current level of SKY money if Comcast/SKY are no longer interested?

The decision on TWP looked like it was going to be pretty much most clubs voting to eject them. Now we see big SL clubs thinking again and pondering on their future worth. That worth being a big Comcast deal. Now we see little SL clubs vehemently against it. Mr. Hudgell has already walked mid season, people were worryingly asking where Mr. Carter was, Mr. Davey is adamant he wants to see his days out in an English League, Salford have little say.

Perez ploughs on with Ottawa with his usual self confidence, New York aren't going away, Rimmer is all for TWP coming back, and Livolsi is acting like he holds all the cards. People can still get copies of league Express as it only came out Monday so don't call me just put your hand in your pocket and read it.

It [umay[/u well be Livolsi simply holds all the cards here............

Anyone got a better explanation let's hear it?

Do we think this time next week Toronto will be in or out?

neither they will want more time to lull it over, personally you know my feelings but I dread Rimmer still has pound signs in his eyes

OUT !

OUT.
In my opinion I would be surprised if those making the decision will find any encouragement in a proposal that a range of male grooming products could bring untold wealth to UK RL.

But we are talking about the RFL making the choice

They have probably made their minds up already and it will be just a case of working out how to present their decision to the media/ public.
I'll go for something along the lines of, "it's been a tremendously difficult decision. Having worked very hard to take the great game of RL to a new country and a new audience, we feel that we cannot simply walk away and leave unfinished business.
Toronto, suffered financial and other pressures like no other club and we therefore feel that having offered to make good the shortfall in wages, the new consortium fully deserves a chance to continue the outstanding work already done by their previous owners.
There will however be some changes...........................................

I think that the Super League clubs will have a strong influence on the final outcome.. The link below provides details of the decision making process. https://www.totalrl.com/wolfpacks-fate-in-the-balance

In !

I feel that it will be the easiest decision for the RFL & SL yet have the biggest 'fall out' in terms of fan & club owner reaction. I fear that some owners will despair to such a degree that they walk away.

I hope they are in but not confident.

Sky Sports presenter Brian Carney feels that the Super League clubs have prejudged Toronto Wolfpack ahead of Friday’s board meeting on their future in the top flight. [i"I think the decision by the majority of clubs has already been made psychologically that they don’t want Toronto, I think their fate has already been sealed and I don’t think Toronto will be admitted".[/i

He's a bit closer to the action......
