no report in the globe and mail yet but the preview features the following quote which is brilliant and a perfect way to describe the game. i might use this myself

"Rugby league’s tool box contains both a sledge hammer and a delicate paint brush. "

"Churlish" is how the reporter here describes the game lethbridgeherald.com/sports/nati ... -home-win/ report used from the canadian press. Some attendees drove 60 miles to the game ( from Guelph)

Some of Rowleys quotes could have been from his Leigh reign 2 and 3 years ago.

"You can only get punched so many times"

"That's what you get when you mix amateurs with pros"

Arrogance anyone?

They're also quick enough to report on Bromwich & Proctor. 3 articles in 3 days on those two morons on the main BBC page.

I repeat myself, but this could be the start of something big in North America for Rugby League, but its early days

There's a long, long way to go yet, but what they've achieved so far has been very impressive.

Their marketing has been unbelievable and puts many (if not all) SL clubs to shame. They've set up great business deals, especially the deal with Air Transat.

There's a huge amount SL clubs can learn from the way Toronto are doing things away from the pitch.

Ive never seen an RL teams record described as 6-0-0 or 2-3-0 before as they do in American sports. I like it.

No way, the day I hear someone from the UK describe their team as having a "5 and Oh season" I will promptly headbutt the nearest wall. Repeatedly

If it helps sell the game over there and allows them to understand the game, then, why not ?
Dont hit the wall too hard

That was my thoughts too. I'm not trying to be anti-BBC or moaning about the media but if some cycling or gymnastics had had such a potentially game changing event happen I am be certain their would be a correspondent there. Clearly we still have a long way to go as I don't think Toronto vs Oxford could be further from the M62 stereotype that we keep being told holds us back with sponsorship and TV deals.

A Super League with a Canadian side and possibly 2 French sides must surely add a few % to the TV rights?

It would boost the international game too in time.

Dream on.....

Of course it will......not

Why not give us a few examples ?

Interesting pattern there...
