The man behind Championship rugby club Toronto Wolfpack is "set to launch bids for two more North America rugby league sides," according to Dave Woods of the BBC. Club Owner Eric Perez is in "advanced talks with two professional sports clubs," believed to be in Hamilton, Canada, and Boston, and will begin negotiations with the Rugby Football League "in the next few days." Perez is "hoping that both clubs can be launched" by '19 and '20. He said, "I'm hoping that within the next six months we can make a formal announcement. ... I don't know where the Hamilton rumor came from, but it would be a logical choice. ... I can't confirm or deny (Boston), but you are very well informed. It's a good speculation, but there could be other cities in the mix." Toronto was promoted from League 1 this year after a season that saw the club lose just one league game. Perez said that this was "never just a one club project." Perez: "When we started this journey, we knew that one team is not enough to yield what you need to yield from the market. To bring revenues, to really start bringing new money into the sport you've got to have multi-markets (BBC, 10/9).
