I got a chance to chat this weekend with the 2 Canadian lads who came over to FC this summer. They both said it was an incredible experience and they couldn't speak highly enough of Hull FC and the red carpet treatment they were given. They also really loved Hull and said that people went out of their way to be nice. Glowing reports all round!

Both lads played for Canada as they beat the Lebanon Cedars 36-18 on Saturday. Graham Dobbs was a much improved player and had clearly leanred a lot in his short time in Hull. I'd never seen Chris Chalmers play before as it was his first game for Canada and he's based in British Columbia. He's a real talent and he credited his performance in large part to the things he learned in Hull.

Hopefully they'll be showing highlights of the game on Premier Sports so keep an eye out for it. Graham played hooker and Chris was at loose foward.

Just want to congratulate the club for helping the progress of rugby league in Canada. Long may it continue!

One gripe - make sure they know all the words to Old Faithful before you send them home next time! I had to teach it to them in the pub

When is it going to be on Premier Sports? I don't get Sky until tomorrow so hopefully not before then!

Spooky. My wife and I are in Tronoto for a couple of days at the end of September. I see they have some items for sale on line but is their a shop or do they sell anything over the counter at the Rose and Crown. May pop in there for a beer and something to eat one evening.

As far as I'm aware you can only buy the gear online or at the games. If there's anything specific that you want you can contact someone at the CRL via their website and I'm sure they could leave it for you to pick up at the R&C. It's easy enough to get to but it is a bit of a trek from downtown - about 20 mins north on the Yonge subway line.

I haven't heard yet but will let you know if/when I do. The Jamaica game took a couple of weeks so you should be fine.
