Only Toronto could pull off such a signing.

Interesting take on "pull off" ?
Maybe only Toronto are wealthy/daft enough to offer such a huge contract.
It's like they are new to the sport or something

So Toronto have shown how much cash they have, makes the waah they won't pay for everything for my team look as pathetic as it is.

The whole point of marquee exemptions is to bring in stars to SL. On the field isn't everything either - by all accounts sbw is an immense influence on other players as well.

Anyone who can't see that this level of spend doesn't at least show Toronto's potential to help grow SL then nothing will.

On the plus side his first appearances in the rhubarb triangle should boost attendances.Lets hope he sells out SL stadia next season.

Great news. Sky Sports need to make him the face of Super League. He needs to be front and Centre of everything!!!

This is the first time in ages that Super League has got a genuine star playing Rugby League in Europe.

Not only that, he lives a clean life so no chance of him beating up students/using homophobic language/taking illicit drugs/abusing takeaway workers or beating up his wife.

Toronto Wolfpack were admitted to the Rugby Football League on the proviso was that they covered all travel costs for 25 people for the away team - This is still and will continue to be the case going forward.

If it comes off, what a great coup for S.L. I hope the powers that be at Red Hall make the most of the publicity.

Five million quid for two years, ouch!
