Quote: wrencat1873 "There was a great opportunity for Toronto to get some game time into some of their local players when they were thrashing league 1 opposition and some opportunities in The Championship but, instead, they chose not to use any of them.
There will be games next season where they could still do this but, it is very unlikely.
Of course, it would be tokenism and even IF they manage to set things up at junior/academy level, it will be at least 5 years and more likely 10, before they have any local talent that will make the grade.
This isnt a surprise though.
The boot camps that they held were great publicity but unless they can find players with some decent rugby knowledge (Union would be ok) we may be waiting a long time to see Canadians playing for TWP.'"
Of course we will be waiting a long time? I have said this before but to expect Toronto to just find players in canada ready to play professional RL so soon is ridiculous.
Can someone tell me how many players Melbourne storm managed to get into the first team when they formed.
