RobertAM Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 with the news that Liam may be heading to Wakefield and rumours of new signings what is the lineup gonna be like when they return on Aug 2nd?..majority of the mooted signings seem to be for 2021 but departures appear to be immediate..
Canis Lupus Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Sure we will get linked with more ex Leeds players before the season re starts.
Reverend Ram Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 I hope the lack of apparent interest on this and other recent topics is not a reflection of the tailing off of interest in the WP?! (Not that it has kept the hysterical types over the water from still venting their spleen on the whole project of course)

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Saw Rich Whiting out jogging yesterday, maybe he's getting his boots back out........
Wigan Riversider Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 I have wanted TWP to succeed since their inception. Sadly the narrow minded heartlands' mentality has offered little encouragement to what for me is a fantastic initiative.
CanadianRugger Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 IMO I think TWP are going to fold. I hate to say it but I wouldn't invest my money in the business given the way they have been treated. I don't see a way forward to profitability under the current conditions imposed by Super League.

I think, and sincerely hope, you may be underestimating the resolve of David Argyle. and with the Aces (and mebbe NY) coming in i can't see a team in Toronto going by the wayside while they persevere.

We shall see, I do know he is a man that can make things happen but the present setup just doesn't seem conducive to running a professional sports franchise. I would like to see the day when I can get to Lamport again for a game, I hope it will be soon.

The way things are going, we'll probably have an Arrows fall exhibition season and half of next MLR season before TWP are playing here again.

I don't see them folding now do they mayeb try and start a new North American League maybe.

Wouldn't be surprised either. It really is a shame and I was looking forward to seeing SBW in Canada.

I tend to agree with you, I’m not sure the club will ever be profitable but maybe it could one day get close to break even so that Mr Argyle isn’t on the hook for so much, however I really worry about the administrative capability of the front office staff, Bob Hunter aside there’s not one capable of running a business this complex, and I think Mr Argyle has been let down on two fronts, firstly the lack of support from the RFL/SL, secondly some serious admin screw ups by Mr Noble and Mr Vickers. If they survive all this then Mr Argyle deserves a medal!
