Won't be going for personal reasons, but maybe some of you are up to it: https://www.seetickets.com/event/canada-cup/lamport-stadium/2038311

As of time of posting, masks are required, but vaccination is not. No food or beverages will be sold, but that seems like it may possibly change by Saturday. Seems most current info gets posted Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TorontoWolfpack/

Edit: Proof of vaccination now required again

With the news slowly leaking out about a new American Competition seperate from the already announced CCCRL it seems TWP are back alongside Ottawa Aces, NYCRL (Grizzlies?), Boston 13s, Washington DC Cavalry, Atlanta Rhinos and Cleveland RL.

Maybe more teams to come?

Edit: looks like NYC is not one of teams. Brooklyn Kings is in and maybe North Virginia Eagles.

I've gotten the same email as many of you but a whole season has gone by now. Are we ever getting the refund for our 2020 Season Tickets?

The longer this goes on, the more I disdain Elstone and the Super League. I still love rugby league , but not Super League. (Been watching the NRL, not a single game of SL.) As a fan of the team, I don't even want to be associated with Super League anymore.

Elstone said: "What we saw first time was frankly disappointing and what we hope to see is something much more stronger. They can only be pleased to be given that chance to put it right."

The team had ONE MONTH to find a new owner, convince him/her to buy the team, and put together a proposal to Super League. The fact that it actually happened in that timeframe is amazing. He's entitled to think the submission was not adequate, but clearly he was never going to be satisfied with it no matter what it could reasonably contain. The team, players, and prospective new owner LiVolsi do not deserve to be treated like pariahs and expected to "be pleased" to continue begging to be considered as though it's some merciful grace they're bestowing. The team is made of real people who had the rug pulled out from under them and had to scramble and are still scrambling, they should at least be treated with some dignity.

Elstone also confirmed that Super League will do its own work on the commercial viability of Super League in Canada, and whether clubs will be better off at some point in the forseeable future from having a club in Toronto.

This is the biggest load of BS. Do other clubs have to meet this standard? What do individual clubs do to ensure the commercial viability of Super League in UK/France? In fact, the commercial viability for rugby league in England has been on the decline for many years. How does having two clubs in Hull make it better for one or the other? They directly compete with each other.

Everyone knows that Wolfpack did not receive central funding, and that every other SL team split the WP's share. Everyone knows that the SL and RFL got £16m in government relief that WP was not entitled any share of. Where would any of the other clubs be doing in the face of the pandemic if they didn't get millions of pounds this year like the Wolfpack didn't? Heck, what if their owner quit overnight and said "Too bad, you're not my responsibility anymore?". They'd be in the same position.

You don't want to expand to Canada? Fine. You only want locals in the league? Fine. Just have the balls to be honest about it and say that Toronto/Canada is not where the SL wants to be and is withdrawing from the market the way that the team had to withdraw from 2020.

LiVolsi doesn't need to own a team in Super League, he only wants to own a team in Super League. (You can say that Super League doesn't need the Wolfpack either, but how long is the sport going to hang on with that kind of mindset after years of gradual decline?) He can, and maybe he should, just walk away. After all, even if the team is accepted back into the league in 2021 (and I'm sure years following), they will only face more of the "you should be grateful we let you exist" attitude. Who needs that?
