Wolfpack nearing crunch time over visa for Sonny Bill and other imports. MORE:

At issue are the visas that allow Williams and six other imports — Australia's Josh McCrone, Darcy Lussick and Blake Wallace, Australian-born Samoan international Ricky Leutele and New Zealand's Chase Stanley and Bodene Thompson — to play in England.

"Can we put together a quality team that can be competitive week-in, week-out, if we don't have the seven overseas players?" said Hunter. The seven players in question are key members of Toronto's small 23-man roster. Rugby league teams dress 17 players, including 13 starters. And injuries could be more common as Super League looks to a condensed season to get as much of the 2020 season in as possible.

The Wolfpack already face a host of problems. Travel and other pandemic-related restrictions likely mean that the team will play few if any games in Toronto this year — which means missing out on gate and other revenue from Lamport Stadium.
