Does anybody else find it ironic that we are in 2016 and still talking about Broken Time and potential loss of earnings for players? The shrinking world and technological developments apart I wonder what those involved back in 1895 would have thought of this?! Plus ça change!

remember the good old days when players had to get off the coach and walk the last couple of miles to the ground

Better walking 2 than 3500 though

And baseball! In theory, Canada is ready made for rugby league because they like physicality. Getting it known and understood is the issue. 99% think rugby is rugby union.

I would also be surprised if a major Canadian sponsor was waiting in the wings to spend a shedload of cash. Surely there are more sure-fire ways to get an ROI than that? They have been able to get Fosters on board for the international games, though, don't know how much $$$ are involved.

To respond to another post, American Football players are nowhere near fit enough for RL and the vast majority would probably struggle to adapt to the spontaneity of the game and the ball handling.

can recall Blackpool having a American football winger playing for them for a few seasons his name was Chuck Wiseman

Personally I would fly from manchester in about 7 hours to avoid the Heathrow journey. If they are funded and bonded then I wish them well, Canada will love RL
