The strength of Sport reaches far beyond the physical boundaries of a 'game'. It teaches us lessons about life, ourselves and others. It instills hope and inspiration in people on both sides of the game, fan and player. The game of Rugby League and any sport for that matter, is a microcosm for the struggles, obstacles and journeys we face as individuals, and as a planet.

When we read comments like the one from Alex below, it makes every step of this journey that much more valued and important. We are the people's team. It doesn't matter what country, faith or walk of life you come from: if you #RunWithThePack, you are part of something bigger than sport.

12 years ago I was waiting for my permanent residents permit to be granted and dreaming of what life in Canada might hold. I can honestly say I never imagined that dream would include a professional Rugby League team on my doorstep!

Thank you Eric and everyone at Toronto Wolfpack for making this a reality.

Not ashamed to admit I'm having a bit of a cry right now.
