sorry, that's a bit desperate. In RL terms, that's no history at all as far as time is concerned. And as far as a rich heritage goes nothing much to write home about either - basically just one long struggle for survival. The vast majority of UK RL fans have no interest at all in any of these teams, no memories of rivalries, nothing. So to expect Canadians to somehow be really getting into this league just doesn't ring true.

That thing we have had in place many times in the past as you well know , either way , an old argument done many times in the past and much discussed on this and other boards

But I'm done with this for now , you're welcome to bleat on regardless

No you haven't.

There is a big difference between setting up and investing in a pro pathway to develop youngsters and taking your pick from a strong amateur area to play in a semi pro comp.

Fair enough I'll add one last one

Glad to see you are exonerating us from not having an academy , as your post states , if we haven't been playing in a pro comp before , why should we be expected to run a ' pro pathway to develop youngsters ' , much appreciated
