Gee
Isn't everyone getting a little heated! I hear the words "childish" and "immature" bandied about, I think you could apply this to a number of posts here!
Just to justify my statements re the AMNRL competition.
The standard of the teams in the USARL are Jacksonville and then New haven and then its absolute daylight! The other teams are not near that standard.
I know that the Bulls and the Knights will be as strong as ever and I know Connecticut are seriously rebuilding.
Its seriously disturbing how David Niu has become such a devil to some on this forum. He is one of the most inclusive people in Rugby League. For those who don;t know, thats how EVERYONE over here got a start. His and the AMNRL inclusiveness. No fees for participating, just help, encouragement and endless access to all his numerous contacts. The main minimum standard to be upheld was to play right and encourage locals. Connecticut, Northern Raiders and New Haven can be traced to the Knights and were all started with inclusiveness and encouragement.
If the USARL lasts six months they could hope to be 1/2 as good as David Niu is at getting so many selfish and egotistical people to play together.
BTW - I cant believe bitchiness about Matt Elliot coaching. I would say an NRL coach coaching the Tomahawks is a positive thing. Just like when Brian Smith has been an assistant during tours in Australia or John Cartwright coached when they played Australia. The AMNRL must have been doing something right.
