Quote: 100% Warrior "How? They gave the sport more exposure, expanded us properly into North America, developed a homegrown fan base, negotiated their own TV deal and gained promotion on merit.
A joke? That comment is completely ridiculous.'"
They don't have a tv deal.
Nobody in North America knows anything about them. (I have a work client based in Toronto and they have no idea who they are)
They haven't converted any of the players they claimed they would.
They got promoted as the only professional club playing against builders most of whom were unable to travel.
Every single card was dealt in their favour. Would be like sticking Melbourne in L1 and being amazed when they the division.
