DlEHARD Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Anyone heard any signings or activity about the Canadian clubs? Aces and Wolfpack. They have been quiet. I know they have more time until their Canada Cup games though. DIEHARD / TITAN / MAROON / KANGAROO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these guys have been brought in for their wider business and commercial expertise rather than their RL experience. Clearly the NARL owners (who are apparently all fans of the game) see their skillset as a useful addition and it's their money so good luck to them.

As you say it's their money External skills are for some reason seen as objectional in RL. Even on these threads. Is our game far too insular for its own good ?

gingerjon Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Regardless of when/if this collapses, worth remembering that the USARL season is still, as far as we know, going ahead. Meanwhile senior editor at Rugby League Planet tweets this from his personal account: Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
