    Put a fork in Scotland, they're done

    SCOTLAND BACK IN THE OVEN?

    Put a fork in Scotland, they're done

    Yep, Aberdeen have jumped the gun and are now back this year.

    New North American Competition?

    Side note, for a week to pass without the USARL saying a single word in response to this is more than a bit odd.

    Put a fork in Scotland, they're done

    with Aberdeen proposing a 2022 return, they'll have at least 6 teams next year. Which is a great result. Hopefully this momentum even attracts a couple more.

    New North American Competition?

    As much as I like to see people working together, and with official organisations, there is a rising sense of dissatisfaction with how things are currently progressing which leads to "rival" competitions sprouting like the NARL and the proposed EuroXIII. Personally I don't see these as...

    New North American Competition?

    I'm not concerned about new clubs being new. They don't have any players, coaches or home venues because they are new. That's the answer. Suspicion is they are currently centrally owned, and will attempt to be sold off as things progress, possibly even before the season starts. Existing clubs...

    France wants to host 2025 World Cup

    Rugby League has been learning to walk before it runs for 120 years and people still think that ambitionless rubbish is the answer to growth

    New North American Competition?

    Arguably the most ambitious project to be launched in RL history. 14 teams is crazy ambitious. But in a way it does suggest confidence in their financial backing. It gives a true national reach that has a chance of grabbing some attention. And it means if some teams bomb, it doesn't mean the...

    New North American Competition?

    $300,000 per team will be more semi than pro. But that's fine. Any new venture like this can't fall into the trap of spending most of its cash on player salaries. A lot will depend on the ownership structure. Have they found 8 Perez's to finance teams? They need to make it *look* like a...

    Potential expansion to Monaco?

    We'll take over the world one micro-nation at a time Monaco, Andorra, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino, Vatican City

    French Growth

    I don't think there's any realistic hope of someone swooping in with a whole heap of cash and turning France back to pro instantly. But with smart work, and actual ambition, they could get there. Elite One getting a national broadcast deal would be a game changer. Have to take steps to make it...

    French Growth

    He sounds like an ambitious guy. Saying the right things. Which probably means he'll be chewed up and spat out by the backwards RL establishment. But hey, we need another pipe dream to follow after Canada

    Tinkering around with Super League calendar options, I think what they need to do 14 team, 26 round home and away comp, no loop fixtures. International weekend in June, they play France, or the highest ranked European nation. Then 2nd could play 3rd and so forth - Scotland v Ireland, Wales v...

    Hopefully Wane has more follow through than Mal Meninga's semi-annual brain farts about what he's keen for the Kangaroos to do that never eventuate

    As I said on twitter earlier today I've watched a handful of tests and NRL games in bars in Scotland and Ireland, and that alone is more promotion than the RFL or Super League have done in either country in over a decade

    With England making its antagonistic position on international expansion clear, first with the removal of Toronto and secondly with the promotion of Leigh over Toulouse, I think it's more important than ever that there is a long term roadmap for what they hope to achieve here. I would think the...

    Hopefully NZ v Tonga on the Friday night at Bankwest and Samoa v Cook Islands, PNG v Fiji double header on the Saturday Arvo at Penrith Origin 2 is on the Sunday. Hopefully all nations have a pre-Cup test on the weekends of October 9 or 16, perhaps sans-Grand Final players. Australia v New...
