Where did this come from? Is this a maybe or 100%?

 

[Tomahawk]

This is 100%. Also the US will have at least 1 NRL player, and a couple from Europe. I expect with the team I have been told the US will be made of they will win their bracket. Round 2 is in Europe, and have heard the finals are in Feji, New Zealand, or Australia. Have herd all three locations so don't know for sure were the finals will be held. Expect the Tomahawks to be contenders.

 

[Loser]

The winner of this bracket will advance to the final qualifying stage to be hosted in England in 2007 between:-
-Winner Atlantic Region (USA)
-3rd place Europe Region (likely Scotland)
-3rd place Pacific Region (likely Fiji)
Winner will take the final berth in the RLWC in Australia in 2008.

Why in one stadium?

Surely speading the games around will assist with promoting the sport.

The can all be in New Jersey, but different stadiums can lead to different crowds.

Will the same people turn up 3 times in a week?

Hopefully they are selling 3 day passes lol

Still excellent news though.

Could the West Indies be bolters?

 

[Tomahawk]

Have heard a rumor Donald Trump has something to do with it in Alantic City

I'm guessing it is for the same reason that all but one of the Pacific Qualifiers will be held in Sydney ... probably to keep costs down (mostly travel costs, but also promotional costs if they want to make an event of it).

Tomahawk ... you're not fair dinkum about that Trump thing are you?

 

[hgfds]

pity that south africa dont have a home qualifer surely with promotion they have the potential to get a decent crowd

go on..

 

[Tomahawk]

I have herd that Trump wants to see the game. Also if he had a part into it, that it would only benafir him. I would assume that the players will go to the casinos. Just which ones? And Trump wants them to go to his.

Imagine Trump Falls In Love With League And Buys The Amnrl And Dangles Big Carrots In Front Of Clint Newtown, Brandon Costin And Matt Peterson To Get America Through The Qualifiers. Then Spends The Next 2 Years Beefing Up The National League...

Lol. Then Brendothejet Woke Up!

Trump would have to join the queue behind Lachlan Murdoch, surely? I distinctly remember reading here that Lachlan was going to promote league in a big way in the States. The Kangaroos' exhibition game was just the start of something really big.

Or am I getting Lachlan mixed up with the Belgian Beer Billionaire?:sarcasm:

 

[East Coast Tiger]

You're just mixed up altogether. You confuse this forum with somewhere you should be peddling your bullsh*t and confuse you're comments with something other than bullsh*t.

Woods Get A Clue Mate.

My Post Was Obviously A Joke.

The Match Vs The Tomahawks Was A Great Day For Rl Regardless Of The Outcome.

When Was The Last Time The Wallabies Played The Usa???
