    Johnson or Marshall??

    Another year or two as an understudy to Benji will do Johnson a world of good. Then, if he continues to get better, watch out.

    "American Rugby"?

    The major issue I have with "American Rugby" is that rugby league isn't American Rugby. How about a catch phrase. Try this on for size. Rugby league, this isn't your grandfather's rugby.

    USARL Launch Youth Development Blog

    Sorry Lawrence, but I'm getting tired of this guy. Poul, This would be the ideal stage at which you shut the hell up. Just because you keep saying it doesn't mean you're going to change it. And like I said on another thread - "maybe if you get out of your armchair and get involved you might get...

    A real European Super League

    Thank you all for your responses and for indulging me in this fantasy. But now, let's look further down the road. As VFC says, everything stems from grassroots and he has cited Serbia as a country that is progressing in rugby league. What are some other countries/regions in Europe that in 5-10...

    World Club Challenge 2012

    I'd like to see the WCC played in Vancouver, Canada. Yes, I know it's close to where I live, but that's not the only reason I'd like to see it happen. Firstly, the last time an Australian-based league played a game in Vancouver the AFL's Melbourne Demons and Sydney Swans played (Oct. 9/87)...

    "American Rugby"?

    Poul, I feel that rugby league would best be promoted and titled in Canada by doing exactly what Canada Rugby League is doing. For starters the name hasn't been changed, it is rugby league. Rugby League resurfaced a little over a year ago in Canada and has gone from two teams in Ontario last...

    Is there, or has there been a New Zealand equivalent to SOO?

    The L word

    I like Rugby XIII. I prefer Rugby 13's, but I can live with Rugby XIII. The roman numerals seem a little to gladitorial for me. I know, I know, its a tough sport, but players aren't dying on the field (of battle) on a regular basis.

    "American Rugby"?

    I can see we're just going around in circles with this discussion. All I can say is, "Get involved with growing the sport of rugby league in Canada or the United States". If, by getting involved you can garner enough support to change the name of rugby league to American Rugby, then have at it...

    "American Rugby"?

    So how would calling rugby league "American Rugby" alleviate any of these problems?

    "American Rugby"?

    I'm going to go out on a limb a little because I am not sure, but in Canada, rugby union is called rugby. So, as Canada and the United States are neighbours and very similar when it comes to sports I am going to assume Americans call rugby union, rugby. I believe calling rugby league "American...

    "American Rugby"?

    Check out Wikipedia if you don't agree that Canadian and American football have more differences than union and league. Go to Wikipedia and search "comparison of American and Canadian football" and then "comparison of rugby league and rugby union". Also - When McGill and Harvard met in the first...

    Could the USARL use MLS Stadiums in future?

    Could the USARL use MLS Stadiums in future?

    I'm sure the owners of those stadiums would welcome the extra revenue that rugby league could bring, once, as you say, rugby league attendances rise. Without knowing the size of the fields I would venture to say that some of the fields would not be large enough. I would think the soccer specific...

    "American Rugby"?

    I know this is off topic, but, the differences between Canadian and American football are more numerous than the differences between union and league.

    "American Rugby"?

    I'm not sure that I like "American Rugby". It reminds me of Aussie Rules or Gaelic Football, games that were invented in those countries. Obviously rugby league was not invented in America. I do like the thirteen angle. My preference would be Rugby 13's. I know that some people struggle with...

    A real European Super League

    Here's an idea. Suppose there are a number of individuals with deep pockets looking to expand the ESL into Europe. Recognizing the fact that all the clubs in the ESL will certainly apply to compete in the new ESL, but some will not have the means to compete, list the current 14 teams in the ESL...

    Canada 18 def. USA 16 in thriller

    You are probably right SD. But I don't think we will see the two groups come together. I believe most players and/or clubs will move over to the USARL. From what folks are saying the AMNRL (read Niu and co.) are doing a fairly poor job of organizing events such as the first leg of the Colonial...

    League v Union

    First, let me say, I have never played either league or union, and being from Canada, I have never seen a rugby league game live. I have seen a number of rugby union games live though. In fact our local team boasts a former Canadian national team player, and I have seen some decent players from...
