To them I would like to point out TWP is also only 4 points out of first. As I said it will be 0 points from 12 very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moscow01 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 No SBW and they’ve named just a 19-man squad for their game at Wigan. Worrying signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be correct but what we TWP fans dislike so much is the absolute glee the anti-Toronto posters take in it. It really is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbruce Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 10 hours ago, Harry Stottle said: Under the Rules in force, Lowdessert is correct, completely bad management on TWP's part, come the end of the season if TWP are relegated all the media interest in SBW will have done them no good whatsoever, would you thrown you all your eggs into the SBW basket? They haven’t thrown all their eggs in SBW basket. Again they aren’t short of money they are short of salary cap space and on the cap SBW will cost £150k. What the pay over that is irrelevant. IMO if Toronto are upto the cap on their squad they are seriously over paying some very average players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was done with the intention of getting to Super League as quickly as possible, so it was money well spent. Now the goal is to survive the first year there and then rebuild with reinforcements for 2021 - the 5th year of their 5-year plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and they obviously had to pay a premium to get players over there even if it is only for 3/4 months a year. My point was more about SBW not being the reason Toronto are starting the season with 23 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing SBW when they already had 2 marquee players means that a full marquee salary is now on the cap. So the additional value on the cap is more likely between £3-400k. That is absolutely the reason they have started the season with 23 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d don’t know any players wages at Toronto so can’t comment but if they are paying anyone in that squad apart from SBW £3/400k. Then I’d say that backs up my point that they are seriously over paying some very average players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money can’t buy you everything. Mismanagement? I don't think so. Scroll up a bit to read the discussion between myself and bobbruce. TWP are in the fourth year of their five-year plan and are following it exactly. And no, with the ridiculously low salary cap in SL money can't buy you everything... but it can buy you a place in the Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
