Lounge Room Lizard Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Short Term its a blow for TW but maybe better to be shut of 2 lazy losers who seem to have a history of poor attitude. Mo Moi is likely in his last season. Time for Noble to find some good props and one that dont carry baggage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointment really. I was looking forward to seeing Fui and the contest between Taylor and Paterika Vaivai. Very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearNothing Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 TBH I don't think any of them will be a great loss to WP....DT may have been if he'd been clean, but not in his recent past/present. MoiMoi would have struggled in Ch this year up against some FT and bigger, fitter PT-ers. Bailey no loss at all, I wondered what Wire were up to giving him a year a couple of years ago... Ashton Sims will be playing big minutes cru....Cru.....CRUSADERS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUBRATS Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Given the lop sided fixture situation that Toronto have , getting older established players with families might prove difficult , younger single players might be a better target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does seem to find himself available to spend the money of some rich guys.At Salford he signed players with a penchant for ill-discipline and it appears he is well and truly aided and abetted,now, by Rowley. 3 in one go is some doing. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm disappointed by this news as I've already got tickets for Leigh-Toronto at the LSV which I hoped would be a cracking contest and test of strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if these players had been injured? A lot can happen in 2 weeks.

ojx Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Letting Dan Fleming go doesn't seem like such a good idea now. Bailey's actions are particularly disappointing after all the support the club had given him through the drug testing saga, Feel bad for Fui Fui, seems to be more of a follower than a leader.

CanadianRugger Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Glad the club sacked these guys. This sort of thing is absolutely not tolerated in Canadian Sport. Ice Hockey clubs here dump players like this all the time and other NHL clubs will blacklist them. Reminds me of Ray Emery (goaltender) in Ottawa a few years ago. Guy got sent packing and ended up having to play hockey in Siberia for his sins for a couple of years. Career never recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I assume Taylor's off back to Australia, having got out of a contract he regretted signing. So he's happy. FFMM will probably retire. God knows what Bailey will do. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

If a talented player gets sacked the rest of the league will form a queue for his services. Soccer is the same. That's why soccer teams rarely sack players. They have too much financial value in them for a club to simply give them away whilst still under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromleybulldog Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Think this will turn out for the best for Toronto. They may lose out in the marketing stakes by losing FuiFui and Taylor but long term these three guys are liabilities. And as stated above with Sims, Krasniqi, Sidlow, Emmitt and Hopkins available, they are not exactly short of front row power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bro lived in Aus for a couple of years (workes in Mt Isa at the mines there). We would discuss NRL and the topic of how much trouble players got in to came up and the personality cult developed by the media around the players. Canada is totally different, cause problems for the club and tarnish the name, you're gone. All the big hockey clubs here (Toronto, Montreal, etc) will regularly dump players that act up, especially because there are so many others who can step up and take their place. Nobody is irreplaceable, eve. Marquee players. Nobody in Canada gives a about who you are or what you did, act like an ass and kiss the pro contract goodbye.

I agree...these guys were at a training camp for the love of Mike...thats means, get up, eat properly, morning training session(s), have lunch and eat properly, afternoon training sessions(s), have supper eat properly, watch a movie or something, read (general relax time) then off to bed for an early start the next day....repeat!

DoubleD Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A lot of people are saying they've been sacked for various reasons - is there any evidence of this? All I saw from the article was they left by mutual consent........... MoiMoi was a marketing tool and is a shame he's gone but he won't be missed on the field (he'd have struggled to have the same impact in the Championship) Bailey won't be missed, as they never really had him play Dave Taylor could have had a great impact and is the biggest shame, but sadly he keeps shooting himself in the foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
