North America Rugby League Launch

[Eagle 1]

Ok...

So it's still a little shambolic but there was a game the other day (at least) which about 3 people knew about.

The Toronto Wolfpack were to play the Ottawa aces in a 'Canada cup' match - but the Aces pulled out.

"The new-look Wolfpack eased past Washington DC Cavalry 42-6 at Lamport Stadium, in front a couple of thousand fans."

Toronto: Blake Mahovic, Darsha Wadduwage, Jordan Henry, Luke Toroca, Steven Adu, Josh Allan, Greg Wise, Matthew Barron (captain), Nathan Roberts, Charles Curran, Callum Botchar, Jason Park, Scyler Dumas, Tyronie Rowe, Andrei Bashesvsky, David Astley, Ray Bissonette, Jason Chuck.

DC Cavalry: Ryan Burroughs, Gabe Cuprill, Carlos Vegerano, Ty Elkins, Genesis Lucis, Max Riseham, Nick Hails, Jase Barahana, Shane Milame, Brandon Lough, Chris Frazier, Chris Burroughs, Michael Mastraianni, Daniel Tupou, Sean Huntington, Andrew Giguere, Scott Christian, Theo Fleder, Nate Wills.

The name is the only thing staying the same from the collapse of the TW a couple of years ago.

Anyway...

Toronto Wolfpack win on return to action for first time since Super League exit | Love Rugby League

Toronto Wolfpack won on their return to action at the weekend, 556 days since they defeated Huddersfield 18-0 in the Challenge Cup.

Wearing a kit borrowed from the Iroquois Roots Rugby organisation, the Wolfpack side featured former Wales international and Newcastle Thunder prop Matt Barron and Canada Wolverines captain Scyler Dumas.

The inaugural Canada Cup game, with DC replacing Ottawa Aces, was set up to provide a taster to fans ahead of the new North American Rugby League competition set to commence in 2022.

DC Cavalry were coached by former Toronto player and USA international Ryan Burroughs, and they are one of the teams lined up to play in the NARL.

Some long-standing fans of the Wolfpack have also criticised the lack of transparency coming from the new-look club, with its ownership group still remaining a mystery.

Australian entrepreneur David Argyle, who invested tens of millions in to the project, walked away in August and an attempt by new owner Carl LiVolsi to remain in Super League was rejected by other clubs.

No names have been attributed to any Wolfpack announcement in recent months, other than “Team Wolfpack”, including the announcement of Matt Wyles as head coach and Liquid Death Mountain Water as jersey sponsor.

A statement on the Wolfpack website reads: “The new Wolfpack team purchased the intellectual properties from the original Wolfpack company. We did not purchase the company, or its liabilities.

“However we feel the right thing to do for our fans is to issue complimentary 2022 season tickets to any fan we have on record that had purchased one and hasn’t received a refund from the previous company.


The Carolina Cup is on in a few days according to some guy who called 200 or so nrl games (dunno)

Indeed he did. But they sacked him after he tweeted abuse towards the victim of Hayne's rape trial.

I'd imagine the winger from Toronto has an obvious nickname: Darsha the dasher.
