Lowdesert Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Well, it’s been all of a couple of days since the last NA thread. Ottawa choosing the strip before they’ve got the players to wear it. How very dare they. 10 contracts up for grabs. https://www.ottawaaces.com/elite-combine-tryouts-for-canadian-athletes-coming-this-fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manfred Mann Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This is wonderful news. The Ottawa Aces are making a serious effort to recruit Canadian talent to rugby league. We should all hope that it works, and that Ottawa Aces will be successful in joining League 1 with a significant Canadian player contingent. If Ottawa can then get promoted to the Championship, and later to Super League where it will compete with Toronto, we will have the foundation for building up rugby league in Canada.

Don’t bother mate, some people on here wouldn’t be satisfied if Ottawa won Super League with 11 Canadians in the starting line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't Toronto get this type of player then, if they were/are available? That is of no disrespect to either club I'm just curios, Toronto also had auditions to recruit 'hopefuls' but they weren't forthcoming, in your opinion (or anyone else) why?

That would be brilliant, I for one would be totally satisfied I honestly mean that simply because to achieve it they would have a thriving infrastructure in place, there would be thousands upon thousands playing the sport, also they wouldn't need to bother with travelling over to this country to play they would have their own league system and everything that goes with it. But alas no one who is alive on the planet today will live to see that happening, it will take far far to long to come about. Do you actually realise out of all the kids who pick up a rugby ball in the UK and go through all the advancement and excellence systems how many actually make it to SL each year, proportionately very very few spread across all 12 SL clubs.

I think there's a certain blindness amongst Northern directors of Rugby to the potential recruitment options bar the M62 and the antipodes. We see it regarding the rest of the UK and France. It's a natural bias to one's own rugby culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
