Interesting to see that TRL forum is clinging to hopes on a pole they took on the future of Toronto staying in SL, bit futile as it won't be the fans that decide

What has Lech Wailesa got too do with RL?

You should ask Lee Addison. He's a good lad.

Indeed. Quite a shoddy operation to start with. No one’s learnt from Crusaders.

"Wolfpack owner David Argyle is cash-strapped" Is Total rubbish.com

He's not a $Millionaire mate, he is a $Billionaire which means he has 1,000 $Million at least. He can release shares in any investments tomorrow and get the cash the day after. Don't much care for this so called journalism, that just gives people the chance to blatantly bend the truth.

Truth is Rugby Union headed him off by setting up Toronto Arrows, whilst Perez failed to find him any NA players not a cent from any NATV deal.

Maybe it suits the RL press to pretend he just ran out of money.

It's OK all this stuff about growing Rugby in North America, but Union are already doing it pretty much big time (compared to Wilby and Perez) and successfully too. Martin Sadler said he hoped RL could keep a "toehold" in north America. No chance when Ottawa RUFC stamp on Perez's toes.

Seems to have gone unnoticed SBW was made available to Roosters 2 week before Toronto withdrew from SL as the agent and Chairmen knew Toronto never intended to honour fixtures and payments. Makes the presentation and demands to be funded last week a charade and the RFL must know it's lie after lie?

Oh absolutely......

There appears to be no way the RFL or Superleague want to enter into a slanging match in public so a really cheesed off Argylle can spout all kinds of stuff. That is probably the right stance to take despite it allowing Argyle to sound off.

But the thing was that Superleague didn't want them, but used them to do a deal with Rimmer to remove Middle eights and MPG, in return for TWP going up. Once TWP were up they signed SBW to try to give the game here something big in the absence of developing a new player pool in NA. It didn't really ingratiate him with the SL bosses and when TWP lost six in a row Argylle must have heard the SL bosses laughing.........

Meanwhile the opportunity to invest in Melbourne Storm came along, home sweet home for Argyle. So he's quit from where he's not wanted and has just been getting what revenge he can. Eventually he'll shut up and go
