I would welcome any side provided they meet the ESL criteria but as I stands the so called Canadian team is made up of overseas players ie Aussies,Brits etc very few if any Canucks.The whole idea of having rules is so each and every side plays under them no exceptions If The Wolfpack can meet the criteria theN I have no doubt most supporters will welcome Them.As it stand WP will have to get rid of quite a few players too comply with ESL rules.It could or may put a hole in your canoe Canoeman. One more point that works both ways travelling a day to get to Canada or UK a day to recover play the game . Then a high intensity game a day back a day rest leaves no time to prepare for the next game! Think about it most fans here have.
Don't get too hung up on the rules...rules change and some rules are made to be broken. I know this goes against the grain over there (rule compliant) but we (over here on the other side of the pond) are like a free range stallion that is in a corral....we are free! It seems the rules and benchmarks in the RFL are in a constant state of flux anyway....can you disagree?
Don't let that doomsday English attitude about the future of RL get you down...there are easy solutions. I have gotten holes in my canoe on numerous trips...ever hear of duct tape? Good as new I tell ya! Easy fix!
As far as the travel goes CDN/US football and hockey teams do it all the time over here...simply a question of proper scheduling and flexibility ...see....problem solved. RL needs a very large influx of Canadian 'Can-Do' attitude to move forward...TWP is the key to the future for RL...merely put the key in the lock, turn and push.
BINGO you are now in!!!!!! That wasn't so hard was it?
