I think the whole venture is very viable.Seem to have all avenues covered.They have there own TV channel,stretching currently to 90,000 people,that must and will gain more interest.

I see the UK plan being short term only and should go very well to strengthening the existing structure.
Long term! Who knows,could be a flop could be massive.Either way it can only promote the game.

I've herd he has already started and has signed a couple, of course this could be hearsay.

Can't wait for the Bangkok ladyboys to metaphorically enter the league, and hopefully the Somalian pirates.

Let's get this show global

The [url=http://www.loverugbyleague.com/news_21757-off-the-record-rugby-league-rumour-and-gossip-33.htmlhearsay[/url was being headlined and linked to from the Toronto Wolfpack official Twitter account last night,that tweet now seems to have been removed.

Now seen 3 names mentioned in the media. Kay, Dixon and Ridyard. Even DB hints at a couple of currently contracted players in his Leigh Observer Column this week

they should be under investigation for approaching players who are under contract

Don't hold your breath

wont be doing.Just be like the initial French team play and sign anyone you want from wherever you want including Aussies

exactly

I've heard AJ and Pownall mentioned too.

Not very ethical is it ? That's if it's true mind.

Cannot see Ridyard going with a young family.

I have been told Beswick Is nailed on to go and maybe Barlow.

Would be surprised if Kay went.

So the mentioned/told/rumoured/heard list stands at 7, let's assume all the squad has been approached it will save space.

The posts are referring to who's going Reffy..The approached bit has passed.

Let's look at this a different way if you was working for a idiot and the chance to work for a better company with a lot better pay and conditions came along how meny would hang around not meny I for one would be gone. Let's not forget all the good times Paul brought to Leigh .

The only issues I have are 1) Paul was contracted ie I am sure he would have wanted a pay off if we had sacked him after the eights 2) the bull that he came out with instead of saying he fancied the Toronto job.
As long as they operate within the laws then good luck to them

Mo, the laws/rules are already in the process of being changed if they haven't already for Toulouse. FT team on CH1 salary cap.....yeh right.

We have yet to see any CH1 club give their reasons for giving up on promotion for another season.

DB was right on the button.

Calling on players not selected in last weeks #NFLDraft, #rugbyleague is waiting for you! #packiscoming

That hashtag looks a bit iffy.

Its all very exciting however, it will fail just like all the other ventures before it! It would be great to see Rugby League flourish in Canada and, I don't know how poplar Union is there and they have been playing that for some time!
Generally, (OZ apart) wherever League and Union are played Union is the most poplar, sadly.
This transatlantic idea will fail because, us fans still want to watch our teams beat our local rivals, fact! There will never be a time when a Wigan v Toronto game will attract more fans than a Wigan v Saints, another fact! You may question 'fact' because the venture has not yet begun! At least the RFL and clubs here wont suffer financial loss and, having PR on board they are guaranteed 'Honesty and Integrity'

Haha. Part of me hopes it all does fail miserably. Sounds like a crackers idea.

Especially in any dealings with former colleagues and players, eh?!

The laws must have been changed for Toulouse regarding oversea player quotas..Not sure how this pans out with Toronto.Will there be any restrictions put in place?

But will American players be classed as overseas?
