audois Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Maybe the time of the year to take stock.and reflect Eric Perez full of ethusiasm in the here and now on the Toronto’s latest ‘Howlin Hour’ podcast, Interesting talks about the Martime Provinces, Nova Scotia and its capital Halifax as a potential home for rugby league further down the line. Eastern Canada 2-3 hours nearer Europe. Long, long before Perez though there was an Irishman John McCarthy who got Canadians interested in the game. In the 1930’s-40’s McCarthy coached the game and reported on it.Tony Collins the rugby league’s academic historian has his say too here. Concluding in his piece, »Can the rugby league game throw-off it’s reputation of the sport that never miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity. » https://thehowlinhour.podbean.com/ "It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires" - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart." - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959 Si tu( Remi Casty) devais envoyer un fax au Président Guasch?

Reckon a nice North American nickname would help. Something like, oh I don’t know, Blue Sox?

audois Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 These Canadian lads from Kings College School in Nova Scotia were playing rugby league in the 1940's.

Manxmanc Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 From TWP's twitter feed, action at Lamport yesterday! East & West Canada, men and women's teams, met under the dome yesterday, and it was streamed! I've not watched this yet but I'll have skim through the Live rerun.

I don't see any reference to the Arrows at this stage. Most of the tags refer to Ontario Rugby League who seem to have given a try by try account of the matches.

No, that was something different. Arrows had a Community Rugby Day at a different bubble running skills sessions for age groups u7 to u17. At Lamport was basically an origin game between Canada East (essentially Ontario) and Canada West (BC +Alberta) senior men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard anything about it....I might actually have driven down just to watch it....the standard is better than what many on here think. I need to start monitoring the CRL website I guess.

Strange though standing and watching the action from the sidelines, Lamport looks very different when covered. Urge everyone to monitor and support the efforts of CRLA - thats where future Canadian Wolfpack talent will show their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
