Clarky will go mental when he hears about this. Not only did we have to go to Wigan for players as we can't produce our own now we have to go to Canada.

We HAVE to bring Eric over, would be great PR for us

question, how can any business have "exclusive rights" over an entire nation?

great link up, inflated story.

Even if we don't end up blooding any of these Canadian players over the coming years I think it's a great move by the new regime, for PR purposes alone.....I read a Eurosport press release on this earlier from a google search....the coverage and international exposure for our club will be immense.....God I love AP & Co!!

it will be like first refusal in football

individual players/clubs maybe, a whole nation, doubtful

We might get Molson on tap and Maple Syrup on our Roll over hot (half warm) dogs.

I just pray we dont ever serve flipper pie

It is first refusal on players who get picked to play for the national team

aha, I must have missed that bit, apologies.

Dont know if it says it in the article tbh, just what i know.

Wonder if it means we will be doing our warm weather training in Canada in future pre seasons!!

yes, Calgary, Banff and Alberta, all averaged -18!!!

it's fooking cold!

Hence the wink, and numerous exclamation marks

I think Wilde needs a bit of a Geography lesson. I was in Algonquin a few years back over the New year, just touched -30 at one point.
