Unionites stick together the world over and maybe, just maybe if they had of bothered to get in contact with the RFL or ARL back in those early days, they might just of had a chance seeing they could have got the books on the game and learnt how to play and coach it properly. They also could have used any of the big 4 at the time that were traveling through or past North America each fucking year to play exihbition or god forbid, a test match or two to help the profile, make some money and show the Canadians that other people outside their little world played other sports against each other unlike the sport that was taking hold big time because of war and Nationalism in Canadian Football which to this days is still only played in Canada.
I read that right up until the mid to late 70's, school children in some areas played RL and they still didn't know what they were playing, they thought it was a modified version of Union, thus they never ever got any help whatsoever in any capacity at all because the union lot running it were so desperate to cling onto power even to the extent of going down with the ship.
