[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 980992, member: 34990"] Sevens is kind of an offshoot from Union - like 5-a-side football and 11-a-side football. You get players going in each direction. Both are run by World Rugby (used to be called the IRB). Rugby league is it's own thing entirely with it's own governing body (the RFL). You do get some crossover in terms of players but it's players completely changing sport rather than just switching between variations of the same one. Also, WRT league sides spending money, it's all due to wealthy benefactors/sponsors - Toronto are owned(?)/propped up by an Aussie billionaire who is also a big RL fan so is treating them like his personal play thing.
