You don't get to a Grand Final with only one decent player, you are obviously new to the game.

Now now. No need for the gratuitous condescension against a fellow forum member who is expressing a legitimate opinion.

By the time that Toronto wins the Grand Final in 2022, Jackson Hastings' freakish Salford will be a fading memory, having long been relegated to the Championship in good order.

You are correct mate, I should try your tactic of 'belittling' clubs, rather than the poster.
p.s. Excellent English by the way, considering your French !

I was lucky enough to have been educated in an International School, where the education was bilingual, so my English is excellent, as you say.

Thanks for noticing.

P.S. You should have written "you're French," as in "you are French," not "your French."

SBW is not a ball player nor a play,maker. He is a one trick pony in that his offload is effective, but it is all he has.
Toronto will have to adhere to both the cap and the overseas player quota (ie, have a certain number of English/Canadians and a strict limit on Anzacs and Islanders). I have no doubt they will recruit well and will utilise the Marquee signing allowance, but thereafter, quality players will be hard to come by.
I expect to see a few "traditional" sides in the relegation mix in 2020 and Toronto potentially safe by August, but talk of them winning a title in 3 or 4 years is a "stretch" at best.
I hope they stay up as they were ruining the Championship for the rest of the sides. They are a SL club with a wealthy backer and it'll be interesting to see if they can tempt top tier English players to Toronto, because with the best will in the world, the squad that got them up, won't keep them up!

is there any

What part of these Canadian guys smashing every target they set themselves and making the top grade has people thinking they'll tank next year?
I don't know what steps they are taking, and I don't think anyone on here does either, but I'm pretty confident they have been thinking about this for a few years and have a plan.

Do you expect there to be after 3 years?
After all Wakefield had what 3? homegrown players in their 19 man squad for the last game v London?

And Wakefield are better than plenty of clubs at developing players.

Some people just want to find fault they would be useless if you asked them to come up with an idea.

They just sit and moan, not a creative bone in their bodies.

And your point against Wakefield is what exactly?, maybe it's because you think we don't have any home grown players to call on, or maybe it's because we chose not to play them in what turned out to be our most important game of the season.

His point was not anti Wakefield, in fact he praised them.

The point was a club off many years and tradition produced 3 players in that line up. Were as the ludites insist on a new club having a top class academy and enough homegrown players to supply a first grade international side.

Complete blinked double standards
