Re: Toronto
The centre they have looks a handful but think hes on big money. A prop aswell would be useful.
Re: Toronto
Think you mean Leutele...
Not sure on which of their props I’d take....

Re: Toronto
Adam Sidlow looked hard and aggressive in the pre season game, he didnt take a backward step. Wouldn't be that much money either. Daryl will pick up any good business from that mess.

Re: Toronto
Do they have to off-load players or indeed, are all contracts null and void.
there seems to be a feeling they'll be allowed back in SL next year and start all over again.
Whatever happens, the whole thing is a farce!

Re: Toronto
I would imagine all present contracts will be null and void as they are not paying players.
Thus no players for next season to ente any league.
Can't imagine Myler and all the other proposed signings will want to risk their futures with them
However it may mean quite a few players without contracts

Just over a day after they gave cast iron assurances they would be good to go they took it upon themselves to withdraw the RL could have put forward a different schedule and avoided embarresment if they'd been honest with them

Re: Toronto
A precedent has already been set with Leeds using circumstances to not play Catalans earlier in the year with no punishment.
With no relegation, there is nothing lost by Toronto not playing and given the financial circumstances affecting all clubs, which they don't benefit from, they have a very strong case for a minimal punishment.
As no relegation, they would still be in next season anyway so why should they be relegated? I think it also punishes new fans who paid in good faith to see SL rugby in Toronto and never got a chance to. If th sport ever wants to progress in growing new audiences, it needs to ignore the self-interest and bleating of Flat Cappers, who will happily see the game die as long as they have to travel 5 miles to see teams play the likes of Batley.
My personal view is keep them in, they would be in anyway, and give them a small penalty of 6 points. That puts them fairly behind others next season when relegation does return.

Re: Toronto
What about the fact they have signed players and have basically said go somewhere else and we cant pay you. They need more than a 6 point deduction that's for sure.HuddsTigers wrote: ↑22 Jul 2020, 14:11 A precedent has already been set with Leeds using circumstances to not play Catalans earlier in the year with no punishment.

Re: Toronto
Their argument to that is by not completing the season they think they will be in breach of contract. However, they have committed to paying the players for the rest of the season. I also imagine it is more a case of if you want to play you can leave.
There is nothing in the rules to stop players being sold or transferred. Any club can do that if they want to, so it is rather irrelevant. Except in an insolvency event, which they aren't.
The only rule broken is not being able to fulfil their fixtures, which their defence will be the financial reasons. Any independent body will look at the current circumstances and the financial climate, as well as the fact that they don't get TV money, haven't got access to the government loan and other clubs withheld any financial support to them, they will have a reasonable defence to that.
I also think to avoid a disruptive year next season with just 11 teams, it is logical to give them a points deduction and let them earn their right to stay in Super League.

Re: Toronto
Toronto said they have been paid and it was only this month's payment that was late (due to be paid 1st July).westerbeast73 wrote: ↑22 Jul 2020, 14:45 Yes but lots of players have stated they are not getting paid and have not for a while ??
Players being paid late rather than not at all. Admin needs sorting out. Think they will use this period as way of sorting out the kinks (or that is how I've read the comments of the last few days from Argyle and Hunter)

Re: Toronto
Whilst I believe that the technical report from Hudds is close to accurate, failing to fulfil fixtures must surely be a breach of SL operating rules and therefore, the SL should be able to strake action against Toronto, even kicking them out.
