    Catalans to Trial American Football Player

    That's him I believe, but that is high school. One step below college, but in those clips he's probably not playing against too many others who are going to play in college.

    Catalans to Trial American Football Player

    I would think defensive backs (corners and safetys) and linebackers would be best suited to rugby league. They've got decent hands and they are used to tackling players. And maybe guys who play on the special teams (punt coverage, kickoff coverage). These players all have to tackle and some of...

    What Does USARL Stand For?

    I think this slight change helps differentiate between rugby (union) and rugby league in the US. Most Americans think that something called the United States Rugby League would be a competition involving union teams. But if you add Association, or Federation or Alliance etc. things change. They...

    Paramatta In Seattle

    [/B] Wow. I understand that the USARL is still in its infancy and doesn't have a marketing department, but this fact is absolutely mind-boggling that somebody with more than a passing interest in rugby league didn't know there was a team just down the road. They are always talking about growing...

    Paramatta In Seattle

    Point now understood. In fact, I think it would be up to the USARL to reach out. That is what BCRL did, and it has paid dividends.

    Paramatta In Seattle

    Yes they have. Last year two players from British Columbia went to Australia and trained with the Eels, one stayed and I believe played with one of the higher ranked feeder teams of the Eels. This year four players are going to Australia, again to train with the Eels. There is a connection - an...

    Paramatta In Seattle

    It is my understanding that the Eels were in Seattle to learn "best practices" for their organization, by spending time with the pro and university clubs in the area. The Eels were at the Seattle Sounders practice facility, University of Washington's football stadium and at the Seattle Seahawks...

    an american nrl club

    Most Americans pay little attention to what is going on in Hawaii. Unless, they happen to be there for their winter holiday. Or every so often when Pearl Harbor gets brought up.

    four nations television schedule

    For what it's worth - in Canada I subscribe to Sportsnet World Online, an internet arm of Rogers Sportsnet (FTA and pay). I just checked and see that England v Samoa and Australia v New Zealand will be shown. Both live and, of course, archived. Being a Canadian television station, I'm not sure...

    What's the chance of a US pro league?

    I hadn't really noticed this, what I would perceive as a snide remark earlier gyallop. But yes, that is what it will take - more than a few people who have a fair amount of cash available to put into a sports team, not a group of people with very little cash who go out and form some sort of...

    So gyallop, I've noticed a change in your posts since the demise of the AMNRL. You've gone from "keeper of the faith" to troll. Good stuff.

    What's the chance of a US pro league?

    Again, exactly photomarv. Or anything that comes out of the ocean in that area. Miguel, you do know that this isn't a real team? I chose that name as I was writing the post.

    Exactly, photomarv.

    What's the chance of a US pro league?

    I really believe that a pro league would work in North America. And I agree, the sport has to be played at the youth level. But - history tells us that sports at the youth level do not grow until there is a pro level league for children to aspire to. Besides, who is to organize the kids, if not...

    Confirmed USA Teams for 2014

    Well Homer, for what it's worth - I think you're right about all of this. And your just stating your opinion. Some people have problems with that, when it doesn't jibe with theirs. But I guess, like the people on the ground with the AMNRL, they feel they are doing what's best, so can't see the...

    Confirmed USA Teams for 2014

    I certainly see the USARL's point. They are doing a heck of a lot more than the AMNRL to grow the sport of rugby league in the United States re: youth development, officials development, etc. So I wonder if the AMNRL is going to follow the USARL's lead in these categories. Past performance would...

    Confirmed USA Teams for 2014

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say the AMNRL clubs weren't willing, or able, to meet the criteria the USARL has set for their own teams.

    AMNRL/USARL what if??

    Where do you see any updates or claims. I see nothing on their website and nothing on their Facebook page. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places. Could you post some links.

    AMNRL/USARL what if??

    gyalloping pace. Haha. I like that.

    AMNRL/USARL what if??

    I assume you mean the part about the AMNRL struggling this year. Perhaps the Brooklyn Kings explored both the AMNRL and the USARL and have ventured an opinion as to why they chose one over the other.
