Wolfpack owner happy to stay out of limelight as team rises up rugby league ranks
Like his transatlantic rugby league team, Wolfpack co-owner David Argyle calls Toronto home but spends most of the year away.
The 57-year-old Australian, who works in the mining, energy and agriculture sectors often in emerging markets, travels more than 200 days a year. But while passionate about raising the profile of the Wolfpack, Argyle is happy to stay in the background.
“As soon as the focus becomes on the owners, sports clubs can go sideways,” Argyle said in a rare interview. “The focus should be on the team, the coaches, the fans, the sponsors, the broadcast distribution platform.”
“So it’s really the philosophy that (when) an owner has the attention drawn towards them then I think it’s a distraction from where the real energy should be,” he added.
