This is not meant to start another sh!tfight about how/who/what/where and why the US side was selected for the WC and whether you agree/disagree etc etc....
but...
In light of current issues with the selection of the US WC squad, what happens IF the AMNRL clubs all decide to jump over to the USARL comp? Who then becomes the controling body recognised by the RLIF in America? How does control get handed over to another body so that domestic teams can be selected by domestic selectors, rather than people from another country half-way around the world? And, who do the RLIF actually answer to and how are they actually contacted? Surely they must know of the discontent surrounding the US team yet I don't recall ANY news or media reports with the RLIF qualifying their position on the matter one way or another. Or do they just bury their heads in the sand hoping it will all go away???
