Actually proves my point. The big players let us down (not counting Tim Smith's first stint). The young hungry ones rarely do. Dean Hadley, for example. Great for us last year, because he had a point to prove.

There were rumours (I STRESS RUMOURS) that one of the hardest jobs of the Wolfpack back room staff last season was keeping a large group of players sober. If these rumours are true, then it could get very interesting once Toronto becomes "home" for 10 weeks or so at the later half of the season, because as much as I love Canada, there's really not a lot to do in Toronto itself.......

A few years ago Gary hetherinton was criticised for saying we should not let super league be a dumping ground for these type of miscreats. Time we showed these type if louts we dont want them in our game after they screw up in NRL. Really hope no British or french clubs sign them.

To be fair, there wasn't an awful lot to do on the pitch either. They were over-qualified for that league. They will find it tougher this year. And at least the Canadian fans will see proper contests.

Ryan Bailey is the gift that keeps on giving. Maybe he needs Lee Radford to smack some sense into him again

Weeks away from family and friends took its toll on some of their players. They were like an amateur team on a pre season tour. “What goes on tour stays on tour”. Some relationships almost ended after their last stint in Canada. Suffice to say, some of last seasons players had to find other UK based clubs to play for this season or risk paying for divorce lawyers. Other players are living on borrowed time until they get found out.

There are hundreds of massage parlour's, that don't perform massage's....(allegedly) I have never visited Toronto, but prostitution is legal in the city. That's something to do, if you are a little naughty !!

Thanks Budgie, so if I am a bit skint over there in June I can sell my body legally?

You certainly can Neil !!

Prostitution is legal in New Zealand.......which explains why the Warriors are always going to win it next year.....is it legal in Warrington

Yes it is. I am sorry that I did not make myself clear.

Oh, so going to the theatre, or to concerts, or to movies, or to restaurants is not doable? Or are they just things that you don't like to do?

How is the cultural life in Wellington, New Zealand, these days? Better than Toronto's you think?

Yes it's notable that you've made two or three errors of late, it's understandable John with your hectic schedule, The different time zones between Chorley, Carcassonne, and Kiev must play havoc with your timetable.

Although there may be past form for the three players involved, would they (well two of the three) be Toronto's top earners.
Is this purely discipline or could there be any other reasons for getting rid of them.

With so little time until the start of the season, this could really put the skids under Toronto's ambitions to make the top 4.
Of course, money talks and no doubt there will be other prop forwards available, especially from down under but, time will tell.

You forgot Siem Reap, which is where I am now.

Looking for more teams to cheer lead for Super League?

No. The Cambodian people have not yet taken to rugby league. They do not have the health or the sporting facilities for that to be feasible at this time. I am here to escape the northern hemisphere winter.

It's nothing to do with Drink or Drugs the reason they have been sacked.

Then what is it to do with?

well you will all find out at some point as it's a police matter. Everyone is innocent until convicted

You just have to look at the coach to know there's going to be problems off the pitch as well admit on the pitch. Also perhaps this is something to expect. Catalans have had issues for years.

That isn't strictly true for Toronto as they have had contracts terminated already.

Rowley said he can't comment any further for 'legal reasons' ??

Got arrested for it apparently, whatever it was
