Good luck to them.

We are still missing the London trick

It's worth a go.

It's a stepping stone for a US side later. Sport is expanding, especially Rugby Union. RL has to make inroads into the international scene. There's ton's of quality player capacity in Australia and England with multi national connections to assist in it's player supply.

The success of the RWC shows what crowds love. Expand the game guys and create opportunity for our boys to aspire and travel.

That is brilliant, good to see rugby league being ambitious as we should be. First ever trans-Atlantic sports league, should give rugby league some real publicity and help grow an already growing market. Very happy to see thus announcement!
Also I want to see that reality tv show that it says about on the rugby league website article. Series about them recruiting players, intriguing.

If they make superleague, i really hope our game in Toronto is on a Thursday

Re: Canadian club in 2017? : Wed Apr 27, 2016 4:25 pm  

It's madness they are going to be in league 1. If were going to do this just put them in the super league.

How many teams are in the Canadian domestic league?
