These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Think its a great idea personally i can imagine there would be a good pull for players if they got to the right level
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Re: Ottawa Aces relocate to the UK
Best of luck to them, I would love to see them succeed. There are plenty of 'rugby' players down there who could quickly make the transition to league and it's good to see that they intend to use Cornish players. Their geographical position though will make things very difficult for them. Lack of away fans isn't the real problem because clubs at that level need to be able to survive on their home fan base. Their real problem will be the time taken for travel to the away games by their part time players who may need time off work to get to matches. It's alright Perez saying that it's a lot closer than Canada and they won't need to get a plane but does he realise how long it takes to drive from Cornwall to Yorkshire and back in a coach?
