TIWIT Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 11 minutes ago, LeytherRob said: Toronto own the north American tv rights for their games so the TV money issue is within their own control. If they can negotiate a good deal they could get more than any of the other clubs recieve in central funding which was the trade off. Sky owns the TV rights. TWP have to negotiate a payment to Sky for those rights first before they can resell them. Sky clearly wants more for them than TWP are willing to pay - they'd probably have to underwrite broadcast costs too - so for their first year in SL no TV. For now.

Rupert Prince Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 5% seems ok given that London get it as well. Perhaps St Helens' should be cut back by 20% to be fair all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone is playing by the same rules, then where is the TWP tv money? and why are they still flying teams over? they should have a much bigger dispensation to compensate for this. Costs of travel for other teams are nowt to do with level of the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that. It was an issue for Les Cats because they live IN France , therefore actually spend euro's most of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aus/NZ boys had their families over for a few weeks last summer. Excellent , was this during the run of ten home games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there is a far higher per centage of children and mothers at the Wolfpack games than any other in SL...when i see the crowds overseas there are some kids but not many women and a lot of middle/old aged white guys. Not like that at the Wolfpack games. When you think of family think of the Wolfpack. Have you been to a RL game in the UK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on TV money , to a degree in travel costs , dispensation for the obvious long serving and club development , even when they one day all actually operate out of Canada , but Sonny Bill is living in a house 4 miles from where I'm posting right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like that at the Wolfpack games. When you think of family think of the Wolfpack. Compared to other sports in the UK rugby league is celebrated as being a family sport. Take us for example, the kcom is in a park and for weekend games we always out on a fanzone with rides for the kids and other child orientated activities, generally a small fairground type thing for a couple hours before the game, even had some people from the local bird sanctuary come with some birds of prey once. Got me some pics with the owls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayakman Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Won't be long now...until some come on here making excuses why Castleford will lose to Toronto....let me guess/injuries? And them with 30 and us with only 22. .I see Schoefield has picked Castleford by 16...how long the list of excuses will be. The Pack is sick of waiting...its been too long between kills.....we are hungry...VERY VERY HUNGRY! Poor Castleford. "Run With The Pack!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us Leythers have always had an interest in the wider game , especially the bit between the gap between the top tier and the one below , it is an area of the sport we have occupied for quite a while in the recent history , that obviously spills over into the other clubs who are also occupying that area of the game , when you've moved up to the top echelons of SL we'll lose interest , others will fill that void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, "the level" is home and away each week starting February...and a salary cap that applies to each member club...amongst many other things.
