Toronto Wolfpack will be announcing a new addition to the squad tomorrow. @ashtonsims26 suggests this is our biggest signing so far



Chris Sandow ?

Look through their squad and compare it to other SL spending full cap and you’ll see they’ll still have room. Pownall, Bussey, Worthington, Kay, Ackers, Sidlow, Emmitt, Rawsthorne etc. They’ll hardly cost a fortune. Luckily, Matthew Shaw did an article on TotalRL a few weeks ago to debunk the idiots who claim TWP are somehow over the cap: www.totalrl.com/making-sense-of- ... cap-spend/

So how have you managed to see their 'wage slips' ?



I guess he will be a 'marquee signing' that will make it 3 now.....Bless

It doesn’t take a genius to look at their squad and come to the conclusion that it doesn’t cost them £1.9m, compared to those squads that we know spend full cap.



Of course, you could not bother to look or engage your brain, and come to the conclusion it’s all a conspiracy.

Cheeky sod, I did not start the topic, I just asked about the 'wage slips' and also the 'marquee signings' which do not count in the cap.

No need to get all upset luv....xx

Which Canadians

Not sure, but they are based in Manchester for most of the season....

what chance does a new club in a new area trying to blaze a trail for our sport and establish the game in previously unchartered waters have if these are the sort of comments that greet its every move. i mean what do you want? we've had folk crying out for years about lack of expansion and here some are hammering a club for actually giving it a go. of course they have to be cut some slack in the short term in terms of a competitive side.



shall we just give up and let the game fester along the m62?

That would be the same Canadians that came over there to save your butts in WW1 and WW2...you know, the ones you owe an eternal debt of gratitude to....those Canadians!

It is 'what it is'. Our game is already suffering with average/past it imports, Toronto will only add to this.....the player pool is only so big, and New York will drain it even more.

Next step by the RFL to help them will be, no restrictions on overseas (ha ha, I mean non English) players....watch this space.

What do the ECB do about pathetic attendances at county championship cricket games, invite teams from 'planet earth'. NO, so counties have to use English talent, and eventually it pays dividends.

Toronto are a NEW club and their rich owner is excited right now, let's see how they are faring (like the pathetic M62 clubs have been for) in a 100 years.

RU dried up as a source 15 years ago, decent Aussies stopped coming in numbers about 10 years ago. How long should we give sides entirely reliant on products from other clubs and imports to become self sufficient? London have produced more half decent SL players than some clubs. About the only club deserving a pass mark from the last decade is Wigan.

how's your French? I ask because without the British you'd be a totally FRENCH speaking nation and in all probability, under the rule of trump....

Are you Okay?....have you no knowledge of history whatsoever?

Yeah....none whatsoever.

New France was established in 1534 and remained under French rule power was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1763 after the war.......so without the British, Canadians (note I didn't say you) would be speaking French and French alone. Given the relationship between the 3 parties involved in North America, it's fair to say that if France had won the war with Britain, then the US would have gone hell for leather after Canada......so....nope....I'd say I have a pretty good grasp of History.

Dear Lord and Saint Francis of Assisi,give me patience with him....he is like a yearning child yet to admit even his own ignorance.

1. French rule power was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1763 after the war......

Answer: Impossible the United Kingdom was formed under the Acts of Union in 1801, well after your date.

Help me Lord.



2. So without the British, Canadians (note I didn't say you) would be speaking French and French alone.

Answer: Many, many First nations languages were spoken in Canada at this time; you totally ignore their presence.....Canada was then, and still is, a nation of immigrants. More languages are spoken here than in any nation on earth. It has always been this way. I speak French.

Give me patience with him Lord.



3. Given the relationship between the 3 parties involved in North America....

Answer: And what three parties would these be after the Conquest of 1763? An enlightened man would place the First Nations there (but that would mean a rudimentary knowledge of treaty rights which were signed between the Crown and First nations) not the United States AS THEY HAD NOT EVEN BEEN FORMED YET!!!! If there was a third European nation it would have been Spain (ever hear of it?)

Patience is a virtue Lord....patience is a virtue.



4. Then the US would have gone hell for leather after Canada......so....nope....

Answer: You don't even know enough to know that you don't even know...must be a Leigh fan.

Answer



Isn't there some sort of history forum you can take this debate to?

So how do Canadians deal with drunken prop forwards who harass women bar staff?

Oh dear, the leigh fan who started this thread has been trolled by the Toronto club as im pretty sure its the announcement of a mascot.



But dont let that get in the way of another anti canadian rant from a leigh fan

I believe that comment was referring to the lack of Canadians playing within the Canadian team. Please leave the history guff to a history forum, thank you.

But how do you know it's not the same person?

They bury them in the snow

The sport has had a professional presence in Canada for less that two years. Two. Amd we're expecting a team full of competitive Canadian talent within that time?



It's hardly like many of of our 'heartlands' are producing masses of talent, and they've had much longer to get it right. Of the last England World Cup squad, half of the players came from just three club academies. And the last players to play for England from the "heartland" of Cumbria were Ade Gardner and Rob Purdham.



Perhaps it's better to look at actually growing the talent pool, rather than complaining about more clubs tapping the same well? Or is that too much like hard work?

Melbourne have produced how many Victorians in 20 or so years? Any new side needs time & patience. It wasn’t so long ago people said the same about London, and now their academy products are littered throughout the leagues.



18 months in, what are people expecting?

It was our troops that gave you ice hockey you should be eternally grateful for that

Your exaggerated boasting does you no favours in your, the Canadians ‘save our butts’, they were part of an allied effort that defeated the enemy. The main contributors to this victory were the British, Americans and Russians along with Commonwealth countries and various Europeans. As an example, Canada provided 13% of troops in the Normandy Landings, thanks very much but hardly worth a ‘saving our butts ‘accolade.



Now can we stick to Rugby League.
