Ottawa have signed 9 English players so will the rest be Canadian ? But won’t the Canadians count as overseas so they can only have 7 anyway?

Who knows. Bottom line, as I have clearly stated (but ignored by Donny), I’d do not believe TWP should be in SL and I am sceptical that Ottawa can bring anything much to the English game. They will however continue to grow the interest in RL in Canada and grow the grass roots game if it is done right (not SL or nothing in 3 years).
Canadian Rugby League teams are an expansion of the game, but their part in UK Rugby is not for me. Just my opinion that I am happy to have people debate with me.

You've completely made that up. Leigh brought Championship clubs much higher attendances than TWP last year..........

Batley v.Leigh 1240 .v.TWP 894
Barrow.v.Leigh 1637 v.TWP 1,417
Bradford.v.Leigh 4381 v.TWP 3,421
Dewsbury.v.Leigh 1668 v TWP 1,251
Fev.v.Leigh 3,104 v.TWP 2,101
Halifax.v.Leigh 2245 v.TWP 2090
Rochdale.v.Leigh 1019 v.TWP 694
Sheffield.v. Leigh 1082 v.TWP 932
Swinton.v.Leigh 2054 vTWP 1281
Widnes.v.Leigh 5886 .v.TWP 3812

Why don't you do the comparison between Bradford and TWP for pulling power? Sure people came out to see what they were about. I went to Halifax to see TWP in 2018 and I didn't see any Canadians.or Americans, just a phoney club. Once people had had a close look they just weren't impressed...

BTW TWP brought Bulls a stinker of a crowd last year.

Now this we can agree on. Leigh should be in SL because they bring in bigger crowds.
(But didn’t you just say crowd numbers don’t prove anything).
No, I’m sure you are right. Leigh for SL. Donny knows

And not for me either so we are agreed.

On that point yes, but not for the same reasons. I do not make things up as you accused me of doing. I base my reasons and present information based on my knowledge and experience of Canadian Rugby (both codes) and UK rugby. I have a desire to build grass roots rugby league in Canada, thereby expanding the Rugby League world, but without a negative impact on UK rugby league in the process.
You present reasons that you back up with ill-informed and/or straight up incorrect Information about Canadian Rugby (both codes). Stop doing that and we will agree more.

Donnyman is just a parochial, insular liar.

Sorry but there's nothing incorrect about the fact Rugby league died out twice in Canada, nothing incorrect about how Perez restarted it back in 2010, and nothing incorrect about how low level what RL there is there, ask Noble who was sent out to try to find Canadian RL players for TWP. Perez left Canada RL to follow these crazy projects the first at TWP promised canadian players and TV deals that never came just to get into the game here, the second has the same silly modus operandi. "We will use Canadian players" whilst all the time he signs players from here. I read this up.............
