£440,000

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

That’s how much Robert Elstone takes out of Super League. I’m not sure exactly what we get for that money. Robert is questioning whether Super League should fund Toronto Wolfpack, well why not question whether we should be funding Robert in this way. I’d certainly rather the £440,000 go to the Wolfpack and get shut of Elstone, I can’t see how anything’s changed for the better since he came in.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wolfpack, no contest!

[M j M]

It's a predictably stupid poll, creating a binary that doesn't exist.

You'll always have someone running Super League and in the present role it'll be a £300k+ position.

[LeeF]

And the ignorant attacks continue

[Dave T]

I'm rather baffled by this obsession with wanting to throw money at TWP - a concept that only happened due to it being self-funded because investing in Canada RL would be incredibly dumb.

Probably just part of his job to ask questions and try to get answers after what happened 

[moorside roughyed]

I'd always choose a club over an individual.

This isn’t true, Robert Elstone didn’t replace someone, the position didn’t exist before he was appointed.

Elstone, Toronto

There you go, just like you I to have an opinion. 

If Toronto go and Elstone remains 1-0 to me, if Toronto stay's and Elstone goes 1-0 to you, if they both stay a 0-0, if they both go we all win, if Toronto goes and takes Ottawa with them landslide victory to me, again just my opinion 

[Robin Evans]

Daft poll.

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion Harry. Looking at the poll it seems most Rugby League fans disagree with you though.

[Manx RL]

With the caveat that TWP used it to clear debts and liabilities?

[ELBOWSEYE]

Will not vote too daft.

But if the game had been run by some like minded people of opinions some share on here the sport would have fizzled out in its first few seasons.

See again opinions. "One man's meat is another man's poison", there is no way whatsoever you can even start to justify that remark, it is just your opinion, end off.

So SLE pays off some of TWP's debts? 

That hardly seems a good use of SLE funds.

Can that be extended to other clubs who get into financial difficulties, they don't have to be SL clubs either, I would wager there are quite a lot of Bulls fans who would have loved to have access to that facility.

On that much at least, we agree

Take your poll to a much bigger audience than this site and you will most likely - no definatley - get a reverse reaction Sir.

How much to Mr and Mrs Hetherington take out of Leeds?

I suppose (end off) is the is a written version of speak to the hand. 

So as notto offend you, 

In my opinion its a good job the game was not run by people with those opinions. 

Hopefully that makes you happy.

[Gooleboy]

Neither.

[silverback]

Are we really that bored? Some sensible threds have been binned in past few months that even dare mention TWP and the damage done.Yet were voting to bail em out/

[Niels]

There wouldn't be just 2 options though.

I think the game should look more long term. 

There are other international clubs that would benefit from the money. These clubs are developing their own players who eventually will be good enough to compete. 

Ar the moment the genuine Toronto fans who go to games  are very vulnerable. If another North American club pays more or is more successful, then they will attract the players Toronto do now.

It would be a terrible use of SLE funds

[Man of Kent]

Silly poll not least because if that money was spent on Toronto it wouldn’t go very far. Half a season’s travel costs/a handful of Sonny Bill appearances.

That said, if Elstone & co. do cut the cord then I’d like to hear their plans for growth/expansion.
