Lol. It's a bunch of guys who got together and because they couldn't find enough players they played 13 a side. There's no League in Canada. There might be people who play League, improperly but still play it. However it would like saying there's ice hockey in like Kenya.

The standard of league in Canada would be fairly good as all the players would probably be Aussies over there on their O.E or something. They probably got together networking through a pub or something and organised a game.
Well at least the Canadian Cougars can claim to have won their first ever rugby league friendly played, 23-10 over U.S.A in Pittsburg 1987. Pity that they have lost every game ever since including a thrashing from the French. Maybe the States are using them for practice in case league goes big over there.

Canadian Cougars? who are you talking about Gay-Guy? Are you saying there's an organized League team in Canada?

Yes. They have played most of their "freindlies" against the states and one against the French. They played half a dozen of their first games in the states before they had their first historic match in Canada.
Oh come on....don't tell me you are going to convert to league now?

Untill this thread, I had never heard of rugby league in Canada. I have, however, heard about a few Aussie Rules clubs in various Western Canadian cities, plus Seattle.

I stand by my opinion: a bunch of guys didn't have enough players for 15 a side. So they went 13.

They still have a national side though (something which wouldn't be made because there weren't enough men for a union side).

Still doesnt mean anybody in Canada will have the slightest bit interest in League.

Unless the game is marketed better. Or indeed, marketed full stop.

Not going to happen in this lifetime. Rugby Union is the focus and they're having trouble. Union will always be taking the first steps in Canada.

Well hopefully my scripts will earn me millions. And when they do, union is doomed

So long as they beat back only English Union, I'm happy. Try and hit Canada, and I will crush you. Muahahahahahahaha.

Union is hardly the Canadian national sport, far from it.

Absolutely, league is just as likely to take off as union at the moment.
