    Statement on behalf of Rugby League in the United States

    I would like to hear more about the outcomes of this meeting. If there is not a resolution before the WCQ games I believe it is up to the AMNRL players to boycott the Tomahawks.

    Piranha Guard sign on with Stockyarders

    Wow, got much of a complex there pal? The AFL and NFL got it done many years ago I'm sure these two can work it out as well. Now on topic, fantastic news on the sponsorship, will they be provding capital, money or both? What is the projected time frame for the stockyarders to enter or start a...

    usarl - amnrl split

    Here is a good reference to rugby union in America and how the AMNRL could have benefited from the USARL. The top rugby comp in the USA is the Rugby Super League, a somewhat national comp started by a few mens club after they felt the direction of the game under USA Rugby was skewed (sound...

    usarl - amnrl split

    rugger1213 = AMNRL player/coach/admin Mother Rucker = USARL player/coach/admin Both will argue their side of the story till blue in the face. This will play out similar to the pending NFL lockout, AMNRL will play the Ireland game solo, probably lose, the USARL players will be welcomed back...

    usarl - amnrl split

    Cutting your nose of to spite your face. Niu has spat the dummy and taken his ball home, and the people who suffer once again are the players and the fans. The USARL really appear to be the good guys in this split and what was first a cloudy reason for seperation is starting to become crystal...

    usarl - amnrl split

    Will give a nice boost to AMNRL numbers if they have to register. AMNRL will be dead in a year or two, USARL has realesed more statements in 2 months of existance than the AMNRL has in 2 years. RLIF will sort out the national teams, dont be surprised if you see a new giverning body for the USA...

    AMNRL Expansion

    Where theres smoke theres fire. I agree with the consesus that Dave has done an outstanding job and sacraficed so much for the game here, but when your child reaches a certain age you send them to school to help them grow, the AMNRL needs to go to school and Dave needs to let it go.

    AMNRL Expansion

    There have been grumblings for years about the way Niu runs things here, from dubious schedules and bizzare playoff rulings to his my way or the highway approach to the other teams. This has been a long time coming and will hopefully shake things up enough for the game to introduce an...

    Spike TV ratings for the NRL

    I watched the Eels vs Titans game with a group of friends who had only seen limited union and they loved it. Couldn't believe that there were no breaks in between plays and how hard the guys ran into each other. Cant wait for next weeks game.

    Does this mean it is dead?

    No, and therein lies the problem. The men at the round table now were there when the seeds were planted so to say. The truth of the matter is the AMNRL is no where near the standard it is believed to be in, ask any player who comes over to play and they will tell you the same. It is like a...

    Does this mean it is dead?

    Mr Knight is missing the point, there is not a question of Niu's passion or dedication but a question of his ability to handle a venture of this magnitude. Playing 1st grade rugby doesn't make you a good business man. Being an American who has played in this comp I dont see this comp happening...

    Playoffs 2008

    Here are the facts, Axemen, seeded 3rd beat the slayers they play the Warriors seeded 2, Cats seeded 4th beat Knights the play the Bulls seeded 1. That was suppose to be the games this weekend, as far as the result and the rules state. Now Jax pulled out after beating the Slayers and after the...

    Playoffs 2008

    Ask the Warriors what they would like to do? I promise its not play the Cats, a team forfeits thats that, the Bulls dodged a bullet thats for sure. The Warriors vs Cats should be the grand final, maybe we should bring the trophy to New Haven this weekend and make it so.....

    Playoffs 2008

    The Semi's will see the warriors vs cats and bulls vs slayers. This is a disgraceful decision by the AMNRL, I have never heard of another comp changing the draw to suit one team, Axemen forfeit Warriors go into the grand final, Bulls play Cats is what should be happening, instead the Bulls play...

    Playoffs 2008

    A great game, Cats and Knights deserve credit. The two fullbacks were awesome, Dan Power scored one of the best indivual tries I have ever seen, the Knights fullback was involved in everything. A warriors player was the ref and he did a very good job considering the magnitude of the game...

    Round 5 Results

    Like I said the team won the comp last year with just two players bought in for the season. The others were here permanently. Same as this year, except a number of long standing players left for one reason or another, imports have nothing to do with it. Finals - Cats will be cannon fodder...

    Clubs stripped of points?

    I still thiunk anyone in the top 5 can win, I spoke with an axemen player yesterday and they are quitely confident of A.) getting a home semi and B.) pulling something off in week 2. The Warriors are favourites, tough draw and they have destroyed all before them, I think the Cats and Knights...

    Round 5 Results

    You know what the Wildcats are always at the recieving end of everyones abuse and complaints, we have had the comp against us for years. We have been badgered about imports year after year, and for the last two seasons from what i understand we have bought in no more that 2 players from...

    Round 5 Results

    Why play if you're not trying to win? I dont get the chance to "boost" my ego and when I did I wasn't much of a player anyway, but I have followed the game here, in the UK and in Australia for many many years and know when something stinks. When was the last time the Knights developed at Tomahawk?
