It would be great to see them both in a 14 or even 16 team SL in a few years time - 10 English, 2 French and 2 Canadian teams would be superb.

Moley is the RL mole in Australia, a journo reknowned for getting the scoops earlier than most. He tagged the wrong Ottawa thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A French and North American League would work well if they could get the TV deal. 4 of each. Play each other twice (14 games) and your own nation 4 times (extra 6 games) to make 20, mixed with a new mixed competition with SL to build the numbers up. A start.

DoubleD Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Interesting to see Ottawa say this: Superleague isn’t a priority, Canadian player development will be front and center. Also the team will be based in Canada full time. The facilities at TD place will for training in the depths of winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Mann Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 If Toronto can retain their place in Super League at the end of this year, attracting good crowds to their away games in England (like over 11,000 at Warrington tonight) then I am sure that Ottawa and New York will be encouraged to become viable realities. Hopefully Toulouse can make to leap into SuperLeague at the end of this season, to boost the game in France. And that development of a French presence will also make Super League franchises more attractive to north Americans, both investors and fans.
