Damien Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I knew this thread was only a matter of time... In short we would lose an awful lot, and potentially a damn site more going forward if the Wolfpack and wider game in Canada even comes close to reaching the potential shown. That should be pretty obvious to anyone without an agenda. Hopefully it won't come to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowardly Fan Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Yes. Toronto Wolfpack. It doesn't really warrant further discussion in my opinion, given there is no suggestion of it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

ojx Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Not the end, I believe that this is the start of the end for the TWP. Argyle is funding the project and, although he stated that he will honour this, I'm sure he'll be looking to slowly remove himself from involvement over time.

Maybe he’s read the lay of the land and sees a rocky road to turn a profit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Knight Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Stop spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt. There’s absolutely no reason for TWP to fold. But Canada and Australia are worlds apart socially so it’s unfortunate that this issue has happened under these circumstances. Canada is super liberal so these issues shouldn’t be treated lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugger Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 They won't turn a profit outside of Super League. If they are denied entry to Super League, the club folds. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a good excuse to get out, with SL being less than enthusiastic about the venture, and no money in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had that late payment issue last year due to a cashflow problem, TV ratings here haven’t been great and they have resorted to hawking cannabis oil.

Playing in the Championship with community clubs is fine for now but won't be long term. 2 minutes ago, Man of Kent said: They had that late payment issue last year due to a cashflow problem, TV ratings here haven’t been great and they have resorted to hawking cannabis oil. It wasn’t all roses in the garden before the Swinton thing. The CBD Oil is a good investment. There is big money to be made in the Cannabis market in Canada. TWP will make money if they are in Super League. If they aren't allowed in though they have no commercial value and will fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can joke but while most on here wouldn’t view this issue very seriously, these sort of “racist” slip ups are not afforded second chances in the liberal world. We can just be thankful that TWP doesn’t yet have a high standing in Canadian sport or else it would be national headlines and the focus of greater public scrutiny. The team is relatively new too so public perception may not seperate the owner from the team. Fallout could have been worse but thank goodness the sport is still somewhat on the fringe in Canada and the Toronto Raptors are on the verge of winning the NBA finals.

Yes, you are a troll. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
