However, the club will take nothing Siakam suers calf for granted until the high-level talent is actually in contusion, doubtful for Game 4 against uniform and have passed on playing for their 76ers regular WLA or pro eld teams. MAY 4, 2019 In the meantime, head coach Ross Frehlick oversaw one of the club’s most competitive training camps in recent memory with roster spots at a premium. “I would have to say in all my years being here, it’s probably the best and most intense camp we have ever had,” said Frehlick whose team welcomes Victoria to the Ladner Leisure Centre at 6 p.m. “There are only so many roster spots available and some tough decisions to make.” A year ago, the Pioneers were in reach of the President’s Cup gold medal game in Nanaimo until a pivotal 24-hour stretch in round-robin play sent them in the other direction. Frehlick came away from the tournament knowing more scoring depth had to be a priority. Zach Herreweyers should provide a signicant punch. The 24-year-old Ontario native brings NLL experience and managed 32 points in 17 games with the WLA Salmonbellies two years ago. The club has also added more American talent in Joey Lucchesi who is a terric athlete with eld experience. In net, Ladner could be leaning on the two Zachs. Hometown product Zach Wickett is back for his second season while 30-year-old Zach Boychuk brings plenty of WLA experience, including several seasons in Nanaimo. A rare Saturday night (6 p.m.) home opener will be followed by three more games at the LLC before the Pioneers hit the road. They include Royal City (May 9), a return trip by Victoria (May 12) and defending WCSLA champion Nanaimo in town on May 16. © 2019 Delta Optimist.

  • Completely Unacceptable’ As RFL & Super League Leave Toronto Players in the Dark 13 Aug 2020
    ‘Completely Unacceptable’ as RFL & super league leave Toronto players in the dark 13 Aug 2020 GMB, the Union for Rugby League, has accused the RFL and Super league of leaving Toronto Wolfpack players in dark over the possible takeover of the Canadian based franchise. The Union and players are yet to hear any concrete details over the takeover of the club, meanwhile the players families have been struggling without wages for three months. @TOwolfpack @TheRFL pic.twitter.com/P3hXBFK8qL — Gob (@gazobrien22) August 10, 2020 The club was forced to withdraw from Super League for 2020, citing major financial issues caused by the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. In recent days the club has announced that they are talking to four interested parties surrounding a takeover, however little to no information on this has filtered down to the players or their union. Yesterday players took to social media to vent their frustrations after receiving no pay for three months and being ‘stranded’. Some have even faced evictions. Technically stranded in UK. No visa so I can’t work, no help getting home to Australia as promised. About to be evicted from my house. A lot of people have it a lot worse then me but this situation has gone too far now. @TheRFL — Darcy Lussick (@D_LUSSICK) August 10, 2020 GMB is calling on the RFL and Super League to step up and pay the players contracts up to the end of the season in November, ensuring that the families have means to live and are taken out of the current limbo they find themselves in.

Rugby League as a Televised Product in the United States of America By Mike Morris Abstract Rugby league is a form of rugby that is more similar to American football than its more globally popular cousin rugby union. This similarity to the United States of America’s most popular sport, that country’s appetite for sport, and its previous acceptance of foreign sports products makes rugby league an attractive product for American media outlets to present and promote. Rugby league’s history as a working-class sport in England and Australia will appeal to American consumers hungry for grit and authenticity from their favorite athletes and teams.
