Its all very exciting however, it will fail just like all the other ventures before it! It would be great to see Rugby League flourish in Canada and, I don't know how poplar Union is there and they have been playing that for some time!
Generally, (OZ apart) wherever League and Union are played Union is the most poplar, sadly.
This transatlantic idea will fail because, us fans still want to watch our teams beat our local rivals, fact! There will never be a time when a Wigan v Toronto game will attract more fans than a Wigan v Saints, another fact! You may question 'fact' because the venture has not yet begun! At least the RFL and clubs here wont suffer financial loss and, having PR on board they are guaranteed 'Honesty and Integrity'
