🏉 “You go to Australia, there’s only one game and that’s rugby league. Our problem is we’re not the top game in this country but we’ve got the best game in this country. So how do we get that higher level of support, that higher level of commitment?” https://t.co/I0pHEZU1wj

The Ottawa Aces and Toronto Wolfpack are companies hoping like hell that they can become professional sports franchises.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

There’s no team. Just a company. Funded by people with zero experience. Led by one with a terrible track record. That said a year ago it looked good and unstoppable. Few “pro” sports have been dealt as hard a blow by the pandemic than Rugby. The times exposed a lack of interest.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

Why is is that everything named Super League in Europe is revealed to be a filthy pit of greed, corruption and self-serving ruin?

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@the_real_flea @genghiscampbell @JonC4D1 @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TOXIII @DragonsOfficiel Obviously it does. You finally got the point. Rinse and repeat. You’ll be fine.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

Talked to Ottawa Aces exec Eric Perez today. He says the plan is for the Aces is to play in BOTH the UK and North American rugby leagues. Don’t know how, don’t know why but I suspect that by 2022 it’ll be one or the other.

[Darren Andrade @darrenandradeTO]

I’ll try and dig out a mask for you while I’m up there. Sounds like yours doesn’t work.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@the_real_flea @genghiscampbell @JonC4D1 @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TOXIII @DragonsOfficiel I wonder why I did that? #getaclue

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@the_real_flea @genghiscampbell @JonC4D1 @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TOXIII @DragonsOfficiel You are comparing the French teams to Canadian teams. TOTALLY. DIFFERENT. ANIMAL.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

This is reality.

[Ex-panda @rlexpanda]

@genghiscampbell @the_real_flea @wolfpackcityTO @JonC4D1 @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TOXIII @DragonsOfficiel Perez is a fool if he puts a cent into English RL. We know exactly what the used car salesmen who run SL think of North American teams. Unless he’s happy to stay in the lower leagues he’s wasting his time trying to get into the free pizza league.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

The way his leg tat blends into the greenery had us trippin’ for a minute. “What happened to Sonny’s leg?!!”

Where’s all my Arab brothers & sisters? Say it with me - SAHTENNNN 😂🤤

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@JonC4D1 @the_real_flea @genghiscampbell @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TOXIII @DragonsOfficiel Ottawa is in CANADA. Totally different set of expenses.

[Truth Talking Maverick @TruthTalkingMav]

@therealsteavis @Shepardo35 If you've ever tried to buy tickets and/or merchandise/hospitality etc. You'd realise just how amateur it all is.
The reality is, clubs are amateur in all but name, thus their obsession with pie and beer sales as opposed to the bigger, more affluent picture.

[⚡Steve Mascord☠️ @SteveMascord]

The people who follow #rugbyleague in Britain have no money and people in Britain with money will never follow rugby league. The RFL is full of good people trying to stave off the inevitable. Whining about a live stream that dropped out won’t change that.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@BereftOfTheDial @the_real_flea @SandyDShipley01 @genghiscampbell @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TD_Place Perez will not fight Super League.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@BereftOfTheDial You mean when they’ll actually be playing in the league? 🤦🏽‍♂️

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

The #NARL division set up feels off. THE “Canada” division consisting of two teams? No need to get cute. Just put Toronto and Ottawa in the East or West division and carry on.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@the_real_flea @SandyDShipley01 @BereftOfTheDial @genghiscampbell @AtlantaRhinos @NARugbyLeague @USARugbyLeague @TD_Place You have to have money to pay for a lawsuit. And they have to qualify for SL before it’s an issue. Disaster waiting to happen and easily avoided.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

Super League that is...

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

I think they’ve made their position clear on how much they support rugby league outside of the UK.

[Brad Boucher @WePlayLeague]

It would be nice to see the big boys @nrl @SuperLeague @IntRL @TheRFL send their best wishes to the new kids on the block. Success in America is success for everybody in the sport.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

This is a big difference between UK and North American sports. Dramatics. A weeks long inquest into a loss that leaves fans in a dump? Shit it out, look ahead, plan accordingly and kill the “sky is falling” take. It’s sports.

[The Game Caller 🗣🎙📻 @TheGameCaller]

Bradford Bulls head coach John Kear says that the performance against Sheffield earlier today was completely unacceptable and that a lot of soul searching will now take place over the next weeks as he starts an inquest into how and why that performance happened.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@the_real_flea @genghiscampbell *not playing in 2021.

[WOLFPACKCITY @wolfpackcityTO]

@the_real_flea @genghiscampbell They are not playing in the NARL in 2022. They are playing in a “Canada Cup” under NARL in 2021 and will enter NARL competition along with the Wolfpack in 2022.
