Quote: tomrhodes28 "I agree with some of your points, but you can't expect instant Canadian players to play a sport which they probably haven't heard off before TWP formed 4 years ago. They have been doing a lot of community work to try to entice young Canadians in the Toronto area to become fans of the sport. If they keep on doing this, they will eventually get Canadians into the sport. A TV deal was secured at the end of January. Ottawa will no doubt learn from the mistakes created by TWP.'"
Do you have a link or some more information on their TV deal ??
AS for youngsters coming along as fans, TWP have done a fantastic job in getting bums on seats but, honestly, how long will it take to "create" any Canadian players.
Have they tried to look at the current players and Union players over there or, do you think they are just pretending to put things in place.
Their "search for a star" from gridiron looked great but, ultimately, turned out to be a publicity stunt. They are Canadian in name only and that has to change.
As I said, they are a UK based side, that will struggle to employ Canadian players
