If you can sign a Union player free of salary cap, I'd throw my money at Semi Radradra or Marika Koroibete or both.
$BW was over the hill last time he had a go at playing League, and that was years ago.

Or being a complete & utter RACIST like David Argyle perhaps ?

What I don't quite get is that I thought their stadium was already limited to 10k so how many more fans can it drag in for Toronto?

So I don't think it is about income generation for Toronto, therefore the signing has to be for on field purposes rather than off-field

They may be able to give an actual attendance figure instead of a best case scenario,
Some of their attendance numbers were close to capacity when the ground wasn't half full.
I know there is the beer festival round the back but, that must have been doing some HUGE trade during some of their games.

Do you mean the same SBW who was pivotal in the Roosters winning the premiership. He was superb.

Must of been some player to get 2013 Roosters player of the season playing limited minutes.

Lol has someone actually just claimed SBW was over the hill and only played limited minutes the last time he was in rugby league?

Belter. He won the premiership, roosters player of the year and international player of the year

Yeah, and completely outshone by his second row partner Cordner who picked up Dally M second rower of the year - I somehow cannot imagine you getting quite as excited if he had signed with Toronto?

If he was a top performer in the NRL that year, why wasn't he even in the top 25 for the Dally M medal player of the year? He wasn't even the deemed to be the best second rower at the Roosters by the rest of the league.

But you think because he picked up a few awards at his clubs awards dinner and picked up the Provans-Summons for been the captain of a grand final winning team.

No, he wasn't over the hill last time he was in League, but he certainly was not one of the best as some seem to be claiming, he was probably around about average from the 9 games I saw him play.

Point being he wasn't finished then and even at 34 physically he still looks great and his more than good enough to tear up Super league.
