    Quattro Quattro - A New Event

    So I've been running this around in my head, working on my new idea for a PPV style match. 4 teams of 4, in a Survivor Series. Lose a guy from a normal Survivor Series, but making it a Fatal Four way. I've got some teams I'm working on at the moment, but I need some more. Each team needs at...

    Does the NBL need to die?

    Basketball in Australia is a basketcase. The sport needs a shakeup like soccer had with the A League. What structure and teams/areas should be included in a new league?

    A-League Expansion?

    So, the A-League is at 10 teams at the moment, and the question is, when they expand, where will they go? I doubt we will see 16 teams this decade, but we may see 12 in the next year or so. Thoughts on where we will see these new teams, and where the 16 (when it comes) may be from? I'm thinking...

    NFLize the NRL in Team Numbers

    Alright, I know this is unlikely to happen, but I feel it fits under discussion of Expansion. The NRL, NBA and many of the US Pro Sports have between 30-32 teams in the top tier. I understand Australia is a smaller market, but if we got to the point of getting to this number of teams, where...

    Strange new Format thoughts

    Well, I've been rolling this around in my head for the last week, so I thought I should finally get something down on paper. We see that Super League is looking to reduce down to 12 teams, from 14, and we currently have a 14 team Championship and I believe a 10 team Championship 1 (if we include...

    Memberships in 2013

    Wondering who here are members, as well as who has renewed, intends to or start a membership. I'm thinking about buying my nephew a membership for Christmas, non seating as Iowa is a bit far to travel for games.

    Areas with a lack of players in CRL?

    A strange question, but I'm trying to find areas which would be looking for players for next season. We've had interest from one of our guys here in the US as to going to Australia next season to develop his game. If this works, we'd want to try and help someone new each year to help grow both...

I haven't played favorites with any competition, just put all of them in, for both AMNRL, USARL and CRL. If I have missed anything, or you want to update anything, let...

    Barnstorming as an Option

    I've been mulling over how to get more Rugby League out to more people (I consider it part of my job with the IRLA) and have been thinking about Barnstorming. For those who don't know, Barnstorming is where you have one or two teams who don't play games as part of a league, or with a specific...

    United States Crowd Record

    I noticed that the Axemen announced a crowd of almost 2000 at thier home game against Oneida. Has anyone heard of a crowd larger than this, in a domestic game, and where a larger crowd may be possible?
