| Completely O/T but can somebody explain the Canada thing. Rowley is to be manager, Noble director of rugby, based in Tong for away games and Toronto for home games. How will this work? Which CH1 team could afford to travel to Canada? Who could fund a CH1 team that plays in Canada? And should they get promoted (which presumably be the ultimate aim) how many SL teams could fund a trip to Canada? Or have I slipped into some sort of parallel universe where RL is the premier sport in the UK?

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

Maybe it is like Catalans where the RFL pay for the clubs to fly their players over?

13554.jpg The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!
If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/
Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

But why would Cas want to replace Daryll with Matty? TT!

rlThis will explain most of your questionsrl. Or at least try. In terms of funding for travel, the Canadian team and their backers are paying for it. A rlstory from the Toronto Starrl last year. A rlbit of their recent historyrl. Which makes it sound like they've only been doing this since 2010. Some of the people involved were throwing together pre-match exhibitions of RL at full CFL games in the 90s. There is a long standing passion for getting this off the ground over there, and whilst I know of more RL-loving ex-pats in Australia I personally know way more ex-pats in Canada than I do Aus'.
For Canadian internationals, which are frankly at a lower level than that proposed, they get within 80% of capacity for the stadium the Toronto team will be playing in.
It's not as completely pie in the sky as it might initially sound. Interesting experiment at any rate. Even if it fails, RL will still be the first ever transatlantic domestic competition ever.

Your post certainly makes the idea sound slightly better than I thought....

As for "Redbull"? Another wannabe on the wind-up or do they actually have inside knowledge. Let's see if he/she has the courage to tell us more.
However, Redbull does seem a worryingly similar username to a previously banned poisoned dwarf who has her head up Duffy's bottom, Reading Bullette.
I have never posted on this forum before, in any guise. I just thought I would tell you what I know, and I know matty elliot will be the next bulls boss.

| Matty Elliot's win rating is 50% as a coach. And if you take away his successful stint at the Bulls it drops to nearer 44%. You could argue that the success at the Bulls was a blip on his otherwise poor coaching record.

| Yeah he didn't do very well in the NRL but to be fair he wasn't at any top clubs.

Others/combustable.gif Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012.
By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:
Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif |

So how do you know this? Are you him?

| Whatever your views on Jimmy's coaching abilities I do hope that if he makes an appearance on the pitch this Sunday, fans will show their appreciation in the correct manner. I hope we all respect the man for his efforts over the years. Like him or not I believe he has always done his best for us. In his playing days he was tremendous and I hope people respect this on his farewell.

| When I think of James Lowes the vision I primarily get is of him marching up to Mercer at Huddersfield in the Semi and screaming in his face. I think that's how he'd like us to remember him.
