Is this the end? https://www.torontowolfpack.com/toronto ... 20-season/

A very good question. They are not fielding a team in 2020, due to financial difficulties, but intend to compete in 2021.

I wonder if other clubs may follow suit, and where that might leave SL for 2020?

It sounds as though they are going to scrub all results to date for Toronto which means we will be P6 W3. I just hope Saints don't fold as well otherwise we will have had a really poor start to the season and be P5 W2.

Any team refusing to finish the season should be relegated to the bottom division.

I truly hope that those in charge of the game show some balls and don't pander to this ridiculous situation that Toronto have created.

Brian Carney as just let rip about it on SSN, I’m in agreement with what he said. Personally they should be automatically relegated.

Well, if they were to be relegated, could they take legal proceedings ? I haven't the faintest idea, but no doubt the legal boys will already be crawling all over it. And if it is feasible, does that mean we would expect somebody to be promoted from the Championship ? Because most of those clubs don't wan't to play this year as they would be paying out wages and ground costs but get no gate money.

Does that make the players contracts void or would that only happen IF they get relegated?
Might not be able to afford it now but if it did i'd make a play for Brad Singleton, really good solid english prop. Would be a nice addition to the squad. Crazy times these, really interested to see what happens and 2 less games will ease the pressure on the players i suppose.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/53474508 So it looks like Toronto will play in 2021. This is a complete joke and I don’t care for the circumstances. To much of a coincidence this announcement after Toronto pull out of the season.

I’m getting to being to embarrassed to say I’m a Rugby league fan after this, we all laughed after the Saracen’s debacle but this puts that into the shade. I saw how angry Brian Carney was When asked for his opinion, his words were do you want me to be honest and then he let rip. RL as struggled for a long time to get out of the amateurish way it’s being run but this a set it back to the dark ages.

This isn't a "drop in centre", where you come and go as you please. This is supposed to be a professional sport, yet, I've seen more efficiently run corner shops.

One of the players wives has been ranting on Instagram. She reckons that the players have been told to find other clubs. She's not a happy bunny.

Good opportunity for us to strengthen our squad then, we must be well under the cap atm <cough>.

I'm not so sure that we should be so quick to condemn this. We are in, to say the least, a unique situation here. A club based in one country but all of whose players come from other countries, some thousands of miles away. A global pandemic meaning border crossing regulations are many and varied, including compulsory quarantine for people entering some countries but not others. A league where the clubs have been able to 'get by' in 2020 by Sky not reducing their payments this year - money that this club receives no part of. The near certainty that this club will play no games whatsoever at home in 2020.

Now, those opposed to the Wolfpack may say ' we warned you about the issues with having a Canadian team in SL '. Fair enough, but they [iare [/inow in SL and no-one could have predicted Covid-19's arrival.
