    Canada release fixtures

    What is your son's schedule while in British Columbia? Will he be coming to Vancouver Island?

    I would say that three years would be enough, if the RLIF had put any thought into the decision to make it three years. But, I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say the decision to make it three years was based on the fact that any more than three years would be an inconvenience for the...

    I agree. I think five years would be enough. Five years is a long time. Imagine oneself living in a different country for five years. How long does a person have to live and work in France or England or Australia to become a citizen? Two years? Five years?

    Do you want all the NRL you can handle

    Go to the USARL website and you will be directed to nrl.livesport. I've been going to this website for quite some time. I watch every NRL game every year. And I watch them when I want to. Some live stuff, and every game is archived. As well, the USARL is getting a percentage of the paid...

    I'll quote from a sports radio show I listen to in my area. "You couldn't be more wrong if you were Mr. Wrong, the mayor of Wrongville."

    Fox Soccer

    And I'm talking about right now. You can talk all you like about this being a business. But right now it's not. It is sport. And everything I have learnt in sport goes against what Niu and company are doing. This isn't about business this is about treating human beings in a decent manner.

    Telling the truth is not wrong is it? Telling the truth isn't throwing oil on flames. Or is it? The argument can be put to bed if everyone knew the facts pertaining to these exclusions.

    Canadian RL article

    Homer, I understand your concern and I did not take what you said as anything more than constructive. I'm involved with BCRL and I can only say that this is the tact we have taken to spread the word. Time will tell if this is the right way to go. We may just do an about face as they have in the...

    Fox Soccer

    All of you who are now coming to the defense of Niu and the AMNRL have given no evidence as to why the USARL players should be excluded. You have only expressed your opinions. As for a few others - billy2, DaBears, Bucks County Sharks, I'm looking at you - your silence speaks volumes. From...

    Canadian RL article

    Well, union isn't as popular as the Big 4 pro sports obviously, but nearly every high school in British Columbia has a team. I just took a look at Canada's roster that was in New Zealand at the World Cup. Thirteen of the thirty players on the roster are from British Columbia and of those 13...

    Canadian RL article

    Actually EH, union is quite popular in that area. British Columbia could arguably be called the "heartland" of union in Canada, and one of the more active and famous clubs in the British Columbia Rugby Union is Capilano RFC, who will now be sharing the region with the Sea2Sky Eagles RLFC. I...

    I'm not asking you who is right or wrong. I am asking for answers to some questions. You don't have to answer the second one if you would rather not. I'm assuming you know the answer to the other two, so why can't you share your insight.

    Fox Soccer

    Bucks County Sharks - you have evidence, great. If the AMNRL had a hand in getting Fox Sports to show rugby league, wonderful, congratulations. I'll ask you the same questions as I've asked billy2 and DaBears. Why are USARL players excluded from the Tomahawks? Do you agree with this exclusion...

    Fox Soccer

    Some of you are still missing the point in all of this. Players are being excluded from the Tomahawks because they play in the USARL. It's great if Niu and the rest with the AMNRL have pulled this Fox Sports thing off. Wonderful, and you can laud them all you like. But, could somebody answer...

    More Clubs for Fiji

    So Homer, An NRL club will pay development fees to a junior club in Australia, but they wouldn't pay those same fees to a club in some other nation. Why is that? And why shouldn't an NRL club pay a fee to a developing nation having already set a precedent by paying an Australian junior club? And...

    More Clubs for Fiji

    Once an NRL club signs a Fijian or other import that club should pay a fee to the home nation's governing body. Maybe the fee is split with other clubs the player plays with as he moves through the ranks (CRL clubs, Toyota Cup teams, etc), as long as some money finds its way back to the players...

    More Clubs for Fiji

    Yes, I agree. Actually that is what I meant. I said that in my head, but didn't say it with my fingers.

    More Clubs for Fiji

    Years ago, and I am assuming it is still the case, when a player was drafted into the National Hockey League, his junior club was paid a fee by the team drafting him. Possibly Fiji could ask for a developement fee from the NRL if they sign a Fijian player. That money would be put into a fund to...

    Expanded WCC in Hawaii?

    That was sad. Why did the AMNRL guy not correct the announcer from saying rugby instead of rugby league. Heck, why did the AMNRL guy keep saying rugby instead of rugby league. The only time he said rugby league was when he said that rugby league was the professional game. That is obviously...
