Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"This is short term thinking. Toronto will not have any local players in the team next year. But if the team is successful for several years, we may well see Canadian players emerging in five years. That would be far more significant for the growth of the game than a handful of (mostly journeymen) players that Featherstone could generate in the next couple of years. Having Canadian born players will make Canadian sports fans and the Canadian and British media stand up and pay attention to the game. Having a few journeymen emerge from the obscure Yorkshire pit town will impress nobody.'"
Toronto could have risked a couple of homegrown players when they were trouncing all before them in League 1 b 50+ points a game.
You and I know that in SL, they wont have anyone for at least 5 years, maybe much longer and more importantly, where will these players actually come from.
