I'm all favour if they can do it, but my thought was it would be risky to push games into Feb. Clearing a few feet of snow from the field is easy, but kind of a job to clear it off the seats. There isn't a machine for that. It's pure grunt work. But I'd go and make sure I bring a wee dram to cut the chill. The words of a true rugby league fan. Sir, I salute you.

Dave T Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 1 hour ago, DemonUK said: So back to the original thread topic title. Derek didn't threaten to bar or ban anybody. He simply said no arrangements had been made or forthcoming and invited contact from either Premier/The RFL or both. As I understand it Leigh were not the first team to contact the RFL .... but hey that doesn't stop the incredibly sad blinkered usual suspects on here .... they really do need help So without getting too hung up on the sensational headline, what about DBs rant that he isnt happy about Premier getting this free and if we hand rights out free then it may lead to the same at Sky. Anybody saykng DBs only issue here is that he hadnt been told is ignoring that part of his rant, or being dishonest. He is not happy with the Premier rights and publicly moaned on Twitter.

Fair enough...but all things come out in the end game...I think they are more relevant than 'responsible owner' and 'just standing up for Leigh'. The man had already been paid and he was trying to milk Toronto for more, if he had gotten away with its ,that would be a form of fraud. The actions/words were initiated by him, for his personal gain, on a public forum. He willingly put his comments up to be analyzed and published them, he didn't retract them upon learning he was wrong (or has not as far as I know).

Angelic Cynic Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It's really reassuring to know that the owner of a club,in Super League only last year,doesn't know the arrangements between the governing body and the largest stakeholder in the sport. Followers of clubs.other than Leigh,posting on here,and finally in the RLE get the message out - after 36 pages on here. I hope there are no individuals leaving the MRP and the Disciplinary Panel as they could be required for the game between Leigh and Toronto. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say thats a free personal gain to your goodselves. Judge comments by all means,but you are not in a position to judge the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion but I beg to differ...people are judged all the time by their actions. Actions speak louder than words...deeds speak...and we are all judged by our actions; they help define us....that is why I noted that he has not corrected himself or apologized, these lack of actions also, interestingly, define him (and all of us in this regard). We are all judged by our actions, either good or bad, and there is nothing wrong with that. It happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padge Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Doing a bit of digging I found this from April/May 2017 on the TWP Website. Premier Sports To Broadcast The Wolfpack In The UK (Toronto) All 2017 and 2018 Toronto Wolfpack league matches, home and away, will be broadcast in the UK on Premier Sports. Premier Sports operates via Sky channel 428 (SD) and 462 (HD), Virgin channel 551 and via the Premier Player online. The broadcaster currently holds shows every game from the NRL and a host of magazine programs including Rugby League Back Chat and the NRL Footy Show making it a must have channel for fans of “The Greatest Game.” So it was all known about early last year and all TWP were doing was putting out a press release as a reminder. Looks likes Bo Derek's attempts to blame this on the RFL for not telling them before hand or as being the first people who should have released the information about the contract doesn't hold any water either. He truly doesn't come out of this looking anything like competent.

Phil Caplan is clearly the moderator and the rest seem off the cuff...its basically the forum but live....pre TWP as they are missing some Canuck optimism...and DJB bashing of late. they are on again tonight on talksport2, podcast will be up tomorrow so that's what i will be listening to. I think they will be discuss if they should finally split the game between pro and part timers i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect any new NA team to pay to play, take no central funding, pay for peoples travel and have their own TV deal like we currently do as it is absolutely necessary to show every game to get some exposure in the NA market. Current SKY deal expires in 2021 so by then there is likely to be 2-3 NA teams in SL and we can bring a TV deal to the table then. Having two teams in two separate divisions just doesn't scream NA TV deal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are dead right mate, from the begining of this thread I had no doubt whatsoever that the game would be televised, albeit I hoped it would be geoblocked in the UK for reasons that I already mentioned. But, it is being kept going by those who have been proven correct who just want to keep wallowing in their self esteem, its over, done with, not "look what I have found now" talk about crawling up the pants leg of tedium! I should not really have answered Mr Krzzy, I wouldn't have had it still been on the OP topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be overly presumptuous over what Krzzy might think, but its fairly reasonable to speculate that by the next world cup there will be a fair number of NA sides throughout the RFL based on what we have to go on. First, we know other applications are in the works. There's the NYC team wanting to play out of redbull arena. There's also several touted Perez linked options in Canada and the USA. Secondly, direction of travel seems to be going that way. Pearson's interview clearly suggests NA is where the top of the club game is hoping to go - particularly from a commercial perspective. This is further supported on the international front by the 2025 WC and the Denver Game. This does make the discussion of TV contracts all the more important.
