But do you not think its a good idea I do, and like someone said if it takes of the good old USA might want a go

| Absolutely it's a good idea; anything which raises the profile of the game is a good thing. I understand there will be a reserve grade side in the Ontario domestic League next year if all goes well.

You find me a young lad who isn't willing to take a few days annual leave, to go and play the game he loves, in a fantastic part of the world for free!

| Would have thought a better option for the game would have been to support 6 Canadian teams and seed with 36 players to get a balanced mini league on Canadian TV and providing safer contact sport option to show schools and parents.
My main worry would be how Sky view this - presumably Toronto's financial plans depend on million pound payouts from Sky. Not many subscribers out there or in France and as Sky move increasingly to internet where they can accurately measure viewers by location we may find the goose laying less golden eggs.
If we (global RL) invested in creating strong French and Canadian leagues we may start heading toward the World Cup lineups we all crave - I fear we will end up diluting SL and end up with a couple of Classic clubs fading away in the championship.

How would the sport support 6 teams? Why would 36 players decide to move to Canada for a part time income?

Why would their plans depend on million pound payouts from Sky? They're in League 1.

With what money would we invest in French & Canadian leagues? We don't even invest enough in the English league.

| It's worth a go.
It's a stepping stone for a US side later. Sport is expanding, especially Rugby Union. RL has to make inroads into the international scene. There's ton's of quality player capacity in Australia and England with multi national connections to assist in it's player supply.
The success of the RWC shows what crowds love. Expand the game guys and create opportunity for our boys to aspire and travel.

| That is brilliant, good to see rugby league being ambitious as we should be. First ever trans-Atlantic sports league, should give rugby league some real publicity and help grow an already growing market. Very happy to see thus announcement!
Also I want to see that reality tv show that it says about on the rugby league website article. Series about them recruiting players, intriguing.
