Out of interest, who else have they got as confirmed for next season to back up this top 4 claim

He is an unknown star from an unknown sport in a country that has Rugby as a niche sport and where RL is pretty much 100% reliant on the whim of an Australian.
Good luck to him and the wolfpack, but SBW signing for Toronto will make the smallest of ripples in the media, most of that will be in the Rugby League Media, which is preaching to the choir.
Toronto, we are told, have no problem putting bums on seats, so I fail to see what benefit there is n spending the salaries of a half dozen good players on a 34yr old one trick pony.

SBW is a squad player for the All Blacks, not a star and his selection was not applauded over here. As it turned out, he was as much use as a chocolate t-spoon. He has an "off-load" and,,,er,,,,,,nope, that's it!

Re: Sbw to Toronto : Wed Oct 30, 2019 10:16 am  
What is everyone's problem?

SBW is the biggest name across both codes of rugby. Still tearing it up at the highest level of Union for the all blacks. He would be an incredible acquisition both as a player and from a commercial perspective for Toronto.

Silly little flatcappers - probably from Yorkshire - having a good owd moan.

Hope they pull it off. He would be the biggest name in Super League for sure. Are we not due to renegotiate a TV deal soon?

Jealousy. Nothing more, nothing less. They only wish their small town clubs could attract such a name.

Rubbish.
SBW is absolute class and you know it.
The only issues here are whether he would go to Toronto, rather than stay in the NRL and the absolute eye watering contract that he's supposed to have been offered.
IF and it's a huge if, Toronto could secure his signature, it would be a massive boost to them and a statement of intent for their SL aspirations.

On the subject of RU, I think that you will find that the Kiwi coach believes that he is most effective coming on later in the game, after 50/60 mins, when he can be used to create space, for either himself or his team mates to score, it's called tactics. :D

Is he class? - he certainly was.

As for RU - he came on when England had absolutely battered the Kiwis up front and had no other options than to try and move the ball around via SBW offloads. He and New Zealand were totally ineffectual in that respect and was easily defended against.

If he were such a massive attraction why is there not an offer of a contract in the NRL. The best he can hope for is a new deal in RU, a coaching role in Oz, or a crazy deal at the end of his career - much like the one he is being offered now.

The reality is that its a gimic - he can still play and play well but that money is just crazy for one player - going to be great for moral as well
