Toronto Centurions : Tue Jun 14, 2016 7:33 am  

The Toronto Wolfpack Twitter account has posted a picture of an article stating Pownall, Kay and Beswick have all signed for them for next season, and Ridy is likely to follow them.

Also says they've signed Sarsfield, QLT, and Fleming from Bradford

Along with Craig Hall that's the cap gone already.Kay's head been elsewhere all season.Time for a winger,but get the feeling it will be another Centre with Armstrong to switch to wing.

I suppose if Armstrong moves out to the wing there's less chance of him passing it out into touch

The players mentioned in the article (Riddy, Beswick, Pownall, Kay, Sarsfield, QLT, Hall and Fleming) would all be very good signings for a Champ 1 club. Their problem is, I think most clubs in that league would feel confident against a team of 8 players! Where are the rest of the squad coming from?

Also - can be pretty confident that some players will feel the novelty of travel wear off after the second batch of games in Toronto.

I don't think Liam Kay has been that bad. He has had a knee problem that could be on his mind and probably cost him some pace, but I think he is playing well.

It doesn't matter to me if they play 17 British players, I've heard some crazy comments about why there are no Canadian players, I asked when London were in SL how many Foreign players did they have?Let Rowley sign whoever he wants.

I assumed you were on about the actual Toronto Centurions



I don't understand the need for Canadian players. I mean, obviously it's better for them in the long run, but it's an entirely artificial constraint. It doesn't put them on a level playing field with anybody. We have limits on overseas players to assist with the development of the national team in an era where we rapidly approach a time where there is nobody left alive who has seen us win a series against Australia. Why should they be limited to Canadian players?

It doesn't bother me what nationality they are either Charlie. It bugs me if - and I say if - Rowley has been tapping our players up after the cack he spouted about morals and integrity after walking out on us

I didn't make any comment about the nationality of the players they've signed

If all of their squad are british, they could be looking at a similar player turnover as we've had this season, when they realise there's sod all to do in Toronto.
