P.S. And the fishing is good too!
I think most people over here want the game to take off over the Atlantic Canoeman, I certainly do , but one team travelling backwards and forwards thousands of miles hardly seems as though it's going to be the saviour of the sport somehow," despite your undoubted enthusiasm ".
It needs a league over there to start with and despite all your hype and boasting about what Canadians can do " which i know is just banter " You have as someone has already said done nothing that any other city could not have done with the same money, What you have in fact done is purchase a foreign team with your Billionaires money, play against the lesser sides in the league and then claim to be the only hope for Rugby League to survive.
IMO if some of that lovely money doesn't find it's way into the coffers of the ESL i doubt you will last two seasons, Had you been dealing with the RFL well anything could happen, but you will be dealing with men of a different ilk, who are not all your Flat cap wearing, whippet breading Pidgeon fanciers.
End of the day we just have to wait and see, but you have to appreciate we have seen saviours come and go before, Don't think we don't wish you well over there, but i think you need to think about expansion of your own.
