    Dutch aim for Super League in Ten Years

    This is great news. Super League needs to expand beyond its heartland (I know, Catalans). For rugby league to be taken seriously on an international level this needs to happen. And if Super League isn't prepared to accept them when they are ready, well, start a comp on the continent and take...

    College players

    In my opinion defensive backs would be the most qualified group of players to convert from college football to rugby league. I also think linebackers would do well. Running backs, tight ends and wide receivers would have a shot, but very few of them have done much tackling in their careers...

    Will Wembley ever be the permanent home of the England national RL team?

    I agree with you on your view of the London Olympics though DP. But that is for another thread. The same situation occurred in Vancouver, and, I am sure, in other host cities. I remember watching the announcement of Vancouver being awarded the OG. To me it was a sad day. There are so many other...

    Will Wembley ever be the permanent home of the England national RL team?

    My vision for moving the team to London would be to attract NEW fans to the game of rugby league. I think that has been part of rugby league's problem. It is too regionalized. It's as if the sport is Northern England's or NSW and Queensland's dirty little secret. People - rugby league is the...

    Will Wembley ever be the permanent home of the England national RL team?

    I think it would do nothing but add lustre to the program. London is a world class city, and, no offense intended, the league heartland cities are not. The movers and the shakers of big business live in London, wouldn't you want to be near all that money. It makes it easier for some of it to...

    Atlanta Legion signs USA Rugby Union International

    The article says Thiel "has expressed an interest". Nowhere in the article does it say anything about signing a contract. It's great if he does indeed dress for the Legion. All of us here feel league is the better game and it is only a matter of time before Canadian and American union players...

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    The USARL nor anybody else was claiming to represent the US. It was Niu's team - everyone knew that. As has been stated many times - Niu selected players from everywhere except the USARL. Nobody else was claiming to represent the US because players under their jurisdiction were playing for the...

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    YANTO and billy2. Both of you quoted me in your next posts, but neither of you answered the questions. I suppose in a round-about way you answered the first, although because they weren't AMNRL players is a weak answer as other non-AMNRL players were selected. But the second - Do you think Niu...

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    For me the problem in all of this has been the exclusion of USARL players from the Tomahawks. I have asked David Niu, through emails, for reasons these players were excluded. He has never replied to me. So I will ask some of Niu's supporters on this thread, especially YANTO and billy2 - Why were...

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    I'd have to agree with Lone Ranger about the possibility of the two US comps merging. Not going to happen, the philosophies of the two groups are different. But really, they could co-exist. The only real problem from where I sit is that the USARL players weren't invited to compete for positions...

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    There is no reason why Niu can't be part of the solution. But at this point he chooses not to be part of the solution, but rather, the road block to that solution.

    All that nasty stuff on Twitter...hmm. I wonder if the boys had their phones stolen like Big Willie did?

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    Was Niu doing what he thought was best when he excluded the USARL players from competing for a spot on the Tomahawks?

    What's unfolding on twitter?

    All of this reminds me of a quote - Adversity does not build character, it reveals it. Haven't heard a peep out of these guys except when it benefits them, now, when they are called upon to answer for their actions, they have shown their true selves.

    2014 Four Nations..

    From information I have gleaned on this site, I thought the Four Nations was owned and operated by Australia, New Zealand and England. So won't it be up to those three nations to decide who gets in?

    "American Rugby"?

    I have been as big an opponent of "American Rugby" as anyone on this site, but until somebody comes up with something better than lateral football and the like I will continue to call it rugby league. But, to show that I am not opposed to a change I will get things going. I have borrowed from...

    World Club Challenge at Headingley

    Hutch, you've cited two reasons that the WCC, expanded or not, would not work in October. I beg to differ. Firstly - an expanded WCC would provide a better spectacle than the Four Nations. Eight of the best club teams in the world would be a bigger draw than the virtual foregone conclusion that...

    Tomahawks to play France and Storm?

    That would be great for rugby league in North America. Although the article says "plans coming together", so it's not a done deal. But how can that happen. According to many on this forum, NRL club teams are too busy drinking to play any games after the Grand Final has been played.:D

    Fairfax Eagles

    After following a link from Wikipedia's USARL page I learned that both Fairfax and Pittsburgh were unable to meet certain critieria and were deemed developmental teams for the 2011 season. More than anything it was a move to allow the teams time to improve their structures both on and off the...
