We shall one day be back where we belong and along shall come the Bulls defectors.:45767.jpg



Happy new year to ALL Fax fans!!!

I just had a look on the Toronto website and notice that they have acquired a strong set of players including FF Moi Moi, Bob Beswick, QLT to name only a few.

It really gets my goat this expansion rubbish and although it is exciting for many, who will suffer as a result - basically anyone in CH1 is pretty much resigned to staying there now. icon_cry.gif

Good on them.

I hope it's a massive success and the Canadian people flock to watch rugby league.

Good luck to them, hope they do well and be a success like Catalans. Pro Rugby league isn't sustainable without a money-man, and it looks like they've got a good one in it for the long haul.

Farcical having a Canadian team in the comp. My biggest concern, if that's the word , is the fact that part time players are going to have to take about a week's leave from their jobs to play a game of rugby in Canada. Some players are just not going to be able to play especially self employed. Another mad idea.

Agreed, just look at the farce last season with teams travelling to France with 14/15 man squads, it will be even worse going to Canada.

Norman what is your concern?It will be the same for the Wolfpack travelling over here, if you mean Finance then I think the Canadian Owner, Mr Perez has agreed to pay opposing teams travel and Hotel bills,only problem really is taking time off work , I'm sure most teams and players will treat it as a bonus Holiday.
Myself personally I welcome the Wolfpack and whatever they bring to RL, apparently Premier Sports are showing all their games next season, I for one will be subscribing to Premier Sports to see how they run.With the squad Paul Rowley has assembled it should be very interesting,if as expected they get promoted to the Championship it will be a great League in 2018, along with Tolouse and the other teams participating.
By the way Good Luck for 2017.Ian. icon_thumb.gif

Im sure you are going to find loads of players turning down a few days pay for an all expenses paid trip to Canada. d040.gif The players have had loads of time to book off work, whats the alternative, stick them straight into super league, where time off isnt an issue, then these same people claim its a conspiracy against the pt teams. At least rfl making them work their way to sl.

Rugby league is on its @rse, and this risky venture is at least a chance for something new. Theres a team just up the road that has had 100+ years at it and still cant pay their players, so give this venture a chance.

That's a valid point which, although obvious, I hadn't thought of. The game is a laughing stock at the moment and I cant see how it's going to improve until the turkeys vote for Christmas. Sportsman, shudds Mallinsons Hapi 5.4% Mmm! icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:

The issue I have is that it will be difficult for Champ 1 players to get time off, OK, they may see it as a holiday and a trip to over the pond but I guess they could have done that with a weekend in France, but they didn't.
Coming this way is not an issue, they are a full time team.
I do actually welcome their inclusion, and at SL level it mat well work but I just believe it will be difficult at the lower level.

Oh, and if they are offering discounted fan seats on the plane I may take them up next season just as long as we aren't ships in the night, so to speak.

They'll all live over here, Ian. They'll just travel to Canada for the home games. The only difference is that they won't come home in their blocks of home games.

Griff ,I'm sure I've read somewhere that the Wolfpack have around about 6 US or Canadian players.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



Think that total is actually 3 diggory and only one of them will play regularly. Rhys Jacks an American and a Canadian 17 year old not heard of any more than that
