So how do Canadians deal with drunken prop forwards who harass women bar staff?

Oh dear, the leigh fan who started this thread has been trolled by the Toronto club as im pretty sure its the announcement of a mascot.

But dont let that get in the way of another anti canadian rant from a leigh fan

I believe that comment was referring to the lack of Canadians playing within the Canadian team. Please leave the history guff to a history forum, thank you.

But how do you know it's not the same person?

They bury them in the snow

The sport has had a professional presence in Canada for less that two years. Two. Amd we're expecting a team full of competitive Canadian talent within that time?

It's hardly like many of of our 'heartlands' are producing masses of talent, and they've had much longer to get it right. Of the last England World Cup squad, half of the players came from just three club academies. And the last players to play for England from the "heartland" of Cumbria were Ade Gardner and Rob Purdham.

Perhaps it's better to look at actually growing the talent pool, rather than complaining about more clubs tapping the same well? Or is that too much like hard work?

Melbourne have produced how many Victorians in 20 or so years? Any new side needs time & patience. It wasn’t so long ago people said the same about London, and now their academy products are littered throughout the leagues.

18 months in, what are people expecting?

It was our troops that gave you ice hockey you should be eternally grateful for that

Your exaggerated boasting does you no favours in your, the Canadians ‘save our butts’, they were part of an allied effort that defeated the enemy. The main contributors to this victory were the British, Americans and Russians along with Commonwealth countries and various Europeans. As an example, Canada provided 13% of troops in the Normandy Landings, thanks very much but hardly worth a ‘saving our butts ‘accolade.

Now can we stick to Rugby League.

13%of the troops but one of the 5 beaches (uhhh....for you that would be 20%; punchiing above their weight again). Ever hear of the Battle of Britain?, many of the pilots in those planes were Canadian....very disrespectful. Ever hear of the Battle of the Atlantic....that was the Canadian Navy fighting those subs so your people could eat....very disrespectful. Without us you would have been finished in that war and you know it....we fed ya, we clothed ya, we defended ya....we saved ya and you have forgotten it. Alot of us died to help you folks out.

Ever hear of the term over there "Lest We Not Forget'
-that means more than one day of the year my friend,that means we will remember them every day, 365 of them, every year! I will always remember them and not try to sluff them off on a web page. SHAME!

Exactly. Turn the focus on Leigh's squad and youth production line for a minute, who have a 138-year head start on Toronto;

They have;
3 Samoans (Mata-utia, Hansen, Vaivai)
3 Frenchmen (Larroyer, Bergal, Dezaria)
3 Aussies (Mortimer, Hutchison, Lovett)
1 Kiwi (Thompson)

Then they have players picked up from SL surplus in; Craig Hall, Ben Crooks, Rhys Evans, Ben Reynolds, Liam Hood, Jordan Thompson, Larne Patrick, Jack Owens, Greg Richards, Jack Blagborough.

Other players from fellow Championship/L1 clubs; Jamie Acton, Nathan Mason

Loanees; Gregson from Wigan, Bailey from Saints

The only player in their senior squad they can lay claim to is Micky Higham, who's nearly 38.



Toronto of course have a bona-fide Canadian in their squad already, Ngawati.

I'll let you all form your own conclusions.

The lad that's on loan at London Skolars?

That's the one. 18/19 year old centre/2nd row, came through the trials held before the 2017 season.
