Toronto Wolfpack are set to add Halifax forward Paul Brearley to their squad in 2021. League Express can reveal the Wolfpack are close to finalising a deal. He is Toronto’s second signing from the Championship ahead of 2021, with Brearley set to join Toulouse’s James Bell in Brian McDermott’s squad next season. Deals for Ryan Hall, Stevie Ward, Richie Myler and Ben Flower are all thought to have been completed for next year too. Meanwhile, League Express understands current Wolfpack backrower Bodene Thompson has signed a new long-term deal with the club. Thompson, 31, joined the club last season and has gone on to make 27 appearances for the club, scoring five tries. A Super League Grand Finalist with Warrington in 2018, Thompson is believed to have signed a multi-year deal with the club and joins the likes of Gareth O’Brien, Matty Russell and Anthony Mullally in committing to the club. https://www.totalrl.com/wolfpack-to-sign-fax-forward/

I’m sure they have some short term financial problems, which no doubt will be sorted by David Argyle, but if things were so bad how would TWP be managing to sign and keep so many high profile players for 2021?

Re: TWP in trouble : Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:03 pm  

The problem isn't resources, they just don't seem to be run very professionally. I hope they get things sorted. They could be great for the game.

Re: TWP in trouble : Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:30 pm  

The players haven't turned up for training as scheduled as they haven't been paid - can't see them being ready for he triple header!

They can't blame visa rules for not paying players

Re: TWP in trouble : Mon Jul 20, 2020 3:14 pm  

Toronto will no longer continue in SL in 2020 yea great for SL.
Cue the statements blaming everyone & anyone except the Cowboy PR merchant that runs them.

Re: TWP in trouble : Mon Jul 20, 2020 3:28 pm  

That must mean P & R will be scrapped.

Re: TWP in trouble : Mon Jul 20, 2020 3:37 pm  

They intend running a team in 2021, supposedly. If reports of them not paying staff are true then they should be disabused of that notion straight away.

Re: TWP in trouble : Mon Jul 20, 2020 3:44 pm  

I don’t know what to think about this, I absolutely want/wanted toronto to succeed, however im not sure they should be just allowed to stay in SL, surely they should have seen this coming and not let it get as far as letting fixtures being announced?
