You refuse constantly to accept what Toronto Wolfpack offered the game here.
Toronto Wolfpack offered North American TV Riches and the conversion of College Footballers to Pro-RL players "Pretty quickly".
All that is on You tube. Four years on not a single player nor a single TV cent has come about. Instead Argyle sent McDermott out this year to admit there would be no NA players and no NATV deal.
that was in the RL press and on the Internet.
So the whole thing is over, it's the end of it. My mate Wrencat is a fervant fan of the game expanding but he has the good grace to accept the reality that TWP failed, they actually said so themselves.
Whatever you want to post in reply what more can I do but to yet again point out the facts in bold. Until you can accept this reality what is there to say my good man??.
Ok, lets agree that those statements were said and that it would be great that if what they had said, come to fruition. But it didn't and they have reached Super League in record time, plus Ottawa are now on their way so the powers that be have seen something from the Toronto model that was beneficial enough for them to accept Ottawa and provisionally approve New York. What do you think that may be?
You say ''the whole thing is over, it's the end of it.'' End of what, I ask? This is just the beginning, they're 4 years old and they aren't going to suddenly realise that they don't have a player pool yet so we'll just end the whole organization now.
I think it's fanciful thinking on your part that North American expansion is over where the evidence suggests otherwise such as two new teams. Where's the evidence of Newcastle jumping two divisions along with two failed clubs in Widnes and Bradford, whose demise were completely independent of Toronto's inclusion, except for you trying to connect dots that don't exist.
PS, you would seriously prefer Belle Vue over Lamport? I know which one looks better on Tv, even their own fans are embarrassed by it as Snowie has said.
