Thought it was quite a simple point. It is still to be proven whether transatlantic sport on a full time basis is viable or not. And if it was already proven to be viable, then MLS or NFL teams would've done it by now. Maybe TWP will lead the way, maybe they wont.

The Premier League & EFL simply don't need it. They have the European competitions, they have a sickening amount of money & they have a number of huge clubs already.
The NFL are playing games at Wembley for a reason, and I don't think we're too far off having a UK-based NFL franchise.

Will that include London Monarchs?

They're not directly connected, but it's not exactly the truth saying that there's [ino[/i connection. Take this weekend, a Wolfpack & Canadian National team double header at Lamport. Whilst they don't govern" the Wolfpack, both organisations are certainly working together for mutual benefit, and both untimately fall under the RLEF.'"
Canada RL was set up to redevelop the existing clubs and I presume thats where the current national team resides.
TWP are a completley different scenario and Perez has walked away from what we would call grass roots,in order to do what?
Why wasn't TWP placed under CRL? Why should they be a seperate entity to what Perez set out to do?

The CRL haven't really redeveloped any clubs, all the current existing clubs were founded under their tenure as Canadian RL had died a death a decade before.
TWP are playing in an RFL-governed competition, and have to follow RFL rules & regs to be apart of it, so that's why. If they were playing in a domestic Canadian competition like the other clubs over there, then they'd fall under the CRL. I'm not sure what your point is Atomic?

The point is (which you beg to differ) TWP have no conncetion to CRL. Do they!

| Your question doesn't make sense in relation to what I said.
I assume it was a facetious remark about how they tried an NFL team here 25 years ago and it didn't work? But that's not really the same thing as a UK-based NFL franchise being part of the existing structure based in the USA. The Monarchs played in that weird European league that just didn't take off.
Anyway, they're holding NFL sell-out games at Wembley to test the market, and it appears demand is there, so I don't think we're too far off. The difference this time is UK-based NFL fans will be able to watch the best players from the Patriots etc, rather than a bunch of no-marks from the Scottish Claymores etc.

I've never claimed that the TWP are governed by the CRL, they're not.
However, is there a connection and working relationship between the Wolfpack & the CRL? Then yes, of course there is, this was clearly seen at the weekend if you needed any evidence.

Come on! I'm not knocking it,but it's simply a promotion stunt,nothing more. TWP will always come before CRL.

I still don't get what point you're making, or what you're taking issue with? How is the CRL a promotion stunt? This is so odd.

You don't see many points do you? Possibly it was a TWP promotion stunt!

It's hard to pick out any points & discuss them when you make them so badly to be honest.
So TWP are a promotion stunt now? What are you talking about?
