    History of TO WolfPack on YouTube. Talks about where CFL fits in with RFL in Canada.

    Eric Perez is a first rate marketing guy. Has a ton of press in their first year in both the U.K. And GTA. He claims all 2017 games will be televised on SKY in the U.K. and a national cable sports channel. Bit vague on Canadian coverage. Will likely pay for the coverage in 2017?

    Yes they're training at Bradford. Shame about Bradford a club with over 100 years of history is in liquidation. I did find it curious that their backer who wants a Super League club did just but the Bulls outright. They have history and a fan base as well as easier access back to the Top league, they're only out due to finances.

    Sorry I just couldn't listen to 50+ min of Mr. Perez. A bit overwhelming.

    Their Pres has been 90% in UK for them as it should be, it's big news in Northern UK. I wonder what they'll workout for the TO market in terms of showing games. They did a few years ago manage to get a few National Team games to Sportnet World (the pay-per-view one) on significant tape delay. Done at cost by basically one man, one camera and one voice over. I hope it improves in terms of coverage from that point.
