I thought the RLIF has told the two parties to get together and thrash out a satisfactory solution or forego any future funding?
pom. Obviously you know the USARL Never received RLIF Funding. The AMNRL according to David Niu, never obtained any international funds either. From my understanding its because the AMNRL never qualified or met the guidelines required by the RLIF to obtain development funds.
However it wuld be a shot in the arm if we could start to see some funds going forward.
Until then tho, (here comes my pitch) Help support the next phase in Development in Rugby League in the USA that will take it to the next level - American Youth Rugby League Association Growing Rugby League at the Grassroots: Help Donate http://rugbyleaguespotlight.com/ame...g-rugby-league-at-the-grassroots-help-donate/
RIR.
Perhaps you may have read my suggestions on another website already?
It may worth your while to perhaps approach someone(Clint Newton for example) to have this new schoolboys competition being named after him eg: Clint Newton Cup/shield?
Clint Newton is passionate about RL in the US and I believe that you may have support from such a player. His father(Jack) a noted golfer already sponsors a junior golf tournament in the Hunter Valley so benevolence and assistance is not a strange thing to the Newton family.
Someone else that may assist could be Russell Crowe?
