Blue Pike Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’m all up for Leigh to be found guilty and deducted points , or is that more of a Football/Leeds Utd thing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Got to feel sorry for Rowley. The opposition always used to get upset at his previous club Leigh, so he relocates to anothe club thousands of miles away, but as luck would have it, now the opposition are getting upset at that club.

sentoffagain2 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The same Paul Rowley who was hailed a hero in 1998 when jumping into a river to rescue a girl who was clinging to a rock in fear of being swept over a waterfall.He changed his clothes and set off for Fax's home game,when he explained why he was late his teamates didn't believe the excuse.HOW TIMES CHANGE.

saddleworth Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Refuse to watch them on TV. Making a mockery of the game. At least, they appear to be an attraction for the Aussie journeymen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be gaining 7k in Canada but they are losing ten fold that in the UK. Once you are in superleague believe me thr rules will change for you.

Monkeymagic22 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think that Toronto look a good thing for promotion to Super League. And to be honest I haven’t got an issue with them spending whatever money they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Toronto presumably come under the British-based category, because, well, they are British based for much of the year, and will presumably be paid in sterling. But in any case, the RFL Operations Manual states that if they are to be paid in a foreign currency, the value is to be converted into sterling at the rate with Natwest as of 1 december of the salary cap year. I haven't seen any suggestion that Toronto are exempt from the cap from any remotely official source, nor from any RL journalists. It's just people trying to start rumours on forums. Toronto, like Leigh (only much more so), just have a lot more money than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, I don’t do ‘presumably’ and I’ve read those guidelines and it only states pound and euros. But there's no smoke, never mind any fire! You have absolutely NO evidence that Toronto have a salary cap exemption other than people putting it on an internet forum. You claim you don't do "presumably", yet you're swallowing their claims hook, line and sinker with no supporting evidence simply because it suits you to do so. Remeber, we see this kind of tosh all the time about our club, too. I've lost count of the number of times that I've read of Fev's imminent demise on financial grounds on other teams' forums. These things just tend to get picked up and repeated without regards for evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not up to toronto to prove their innocence. Its up to those making allegations to prove them. So far there is absolutely no proof of any exemptions or wrong doing. Just a lot of froth from other clubs fans cos toronto are a new club thats loaded. There is a significant cap now. Our club can't get anywhere near it. Toronto have the luxury of an owner who can outspend Delbert.... that's how it rolls.... I'm not anti expansion. Its a great sport... the more that enjoy the better for me. I just dislike the club but for a whole set of different reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Baldrick Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 For me, the clear 'bending' of the rules is the number of overseas players that Toronto are able to field at any one time. Isn't there a limit on this? I believe our division is lower than duper league, is theirs not 5 and ours 1, or has that changed? Clearly with a whole squad made up of non Canadians, then this is a clear disadvantage to clubs not able to field any more potentially 'better quality' overseas players over and above the agreed quota.

Sorry mate, I don’t do ‘presumably’ and I’ve read those guidelines and it only states pound and euros. I certainly do not trust the RFL either, they want Toronto in Superleague and will bend the rules in order for them to get there. I hope they do go up though, I’ve got my fingers crossed for em. I don’t dislike the idea of it, I just dislike certain fans’ attitude and arrogance. It’s a shame, it can’t be said for all their fans, they may have a lot more money but they are certainly lacking in class. Oh yes, if anyone knows about 'class' and 'class systems' it certainly would be the British. How about the false innuendos about Toronto and the salary cap you have stated they overspent without any tangible proof on this thread over and over, would that fit your definition of 'class' Your Lordship?
