It is only where Donnyman posts some unbelievable stuff which no one else has knowledge is there a polite request for some evidence.

It seems some overseas based Toronto players have quite understandably returned to their overseas homes as they do not have the required visas to be remain in the UK

for the period of the Super League fixtures.

It also seems Vickers is no longer a director of the UK side of the operation - despite the recent link with the government, involving trade.

It's dated today with Companies House - which seems a strange one:but it is what it is.

not only visa problems they are saying they won't return to training until June payments have been paid we are now half way through July, can you blame them

Strange that Super League clubs are offering players for loan deals, then.

Beats me.Broadcast deal could be in trouble if fixtures cannot be fulfilled.

Not a good time for Super League clubs,it seems.

I know, surely Toronto (if players are paid whatever they are owed) would like to finish the season, even if it mean replacing the one's with visa problems, and bring in in other teams squad players.

Who do you mean by "Toronto"?

Is this David Argyle who doesn't want to pay any money in anymore?

Is this the skeleton staff who would prefer to go find a new job elsewhere ASAP now they are losing theirs??

Is it the players who:

a. Are going home in the next few days or....
b. Are not going home but want a new club ASAP so they can be paid or.....
c. Are not prepared to play at short notice without having trained and conditioned as they risk serious injury.

It looks to me like "Toronto" may be a hastily gathered together by a very red faced Brian McDermott recruited (to save his own face) team of Championship lads who will put the shirt on to make a few quid "in these troubled times"

I thought Crusaders were bad enough back in 2011 but they actually fulfilled their fixtures and beat Salford twice, Wakefield twice and Huddersfield. Tell me - do you still put the boots on Mr. B - ring Brian for a game?

"Expansion" eh?

Craig are you still worried mate?? I hope the new lads coming in are signing a contract drawn up by Superleague's lawyer Hudgell that includes a clause to say they must not beat HKR......

Your a fine fellow. If your still up check out the other Forum - they still think it's nothing but a "Little local difficulty"

Last TotalRL collapse... sorry RL club collapse , was I think Streatham & Mitcham who went 26 games before collapsing in the 1930's.

That the TWP fixtures have to be played out even by a cast of actors, appears to be a SKY requirement as they appear not to want to be connected to such a debacle as a mid season exit stage left.

And here we are back to the SKY contract 2022. Set to be an all English league given that there can be no guarantee Gausch may not be the next to walk away.... The "evidence please" is circumstantial
