The Toronto Wolfpack are facing legal action over unpaid player wages totaling a whopping £1.2m, a situation that has been brewing for almost four years since the club's collapse.
The Canadian club, known for their ambitious foray into the Super League, withdrew from the competition in 2020 due to financial struggles exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving players like Sonny Bill Williams in the lurch.
Despite promises from former owner David Argyle to settle outstanding payments, players have been left empty-handed and are now seeking justice through legal channels.
The Rugby League Players Association, backed by the Rugby Football League, is determined to fight for the rights of its members and recoup the money owed to them, even if it means a lengthy court battle.
This saga serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of professional sports, where promises can be broken and players left in the cold without their dues.
The Wolfpack may have roared on the pitch, but off-field troubles have cast a shadow over their legacy, highlighting the need for better financial safeguards in the world of rugby league.
