Former Wolfpack marquee forwards find new teams after being let go by Toronto
TORONTO — Star forwards Fuifui Moimoi, Ryan Bailey and Dave Taylor, released by the Toronto Wolfpack during training camp, have found new teams.
The Toronto rugby league club severed ties with the marquee big men during pre-season in mid-January. The team did not offer an explanation, although one report said the trio missed curfew during a warm-weather training stint in Portugal.
Moimoi, a fan favourite in Toronto, has resurfaced with Bradford & Bingley in the North 1 East league, the sixth tier of English rugby union. The former Tongan and New Zealand international is a friend of the club’s second-team coach, fellow Tongan Richard Tafa.
The 38-year-old Moimoi made his debut Tuesday in a 38-12 loss to West Hartlepool.
