    Expansion

    Just for the Grub - played for 14 years blah blah, junior elite player provincial and national blah blah, coached at all levels except national blah blah, and have tertiary quals in coaching blah blah blah. Frankly grub I've forgotten more than you'll ever probably know about the game...

    Expansion

    They need 40 players just to get 17 there for a game. Might as well pack up and go home if you introduced something along those lines. The so called pro/international footballers are mostly 2 bob a game calibre who can't make it at the elite level. Fact is some teams struggle put a side...

    What impact would an American pro comp have on RL?

    I watched an interesting TV article on cable here just the other day which seems very relevant to RL in the US. It was an interview with the head US Union coach, a top official and an ex-pat Aussie now playing at the international level for them. The interview discussed the history of RU in...

    Tomahawks 7's squad

    There's an opportunity for not only the US but other emerging countries to capitalise on the World 7's event. I doubt there's a lot of thought or planning that goes into this event by many emerging countries. If they did their planning well before the end of their seasons they could organise...

    An alternative to an American pro comp

    Getting a bit desperate for discussion material aren't we.

    No helmets required

    Wouldn't expect to see it till next year at the earliest. I emailed him some moths back on contacts in NZ involved with the US tour but I've lost his email address.

    Updates, News etc.

    I've emailed them before and during the season asking the very same questions. They normally come back with the excuse "The web site is maintained voluntarily and we have plenty to do" They claim its "world class" when in fact its a very simple site that's poorly maintained. Getting info out...

    What impact would an American pro comp have on RL?

    Put it this way Roopy. If I gave you a tip on a long shot at 100:1 odds would you bet your house and everything you own on it? I doubt it.

    What impact would an American pro comp have on RL?

    If you've got a $100 000 in your back pocket you can afford to loose $20k. When you've got $1 you can't afford to loose a cent. Your example illustrates fraud and corruption, something any organisation is vulnerable too. Au Union management was always reasonably good at its job. In-house...

    What impact would an American pro comp have on RL?

    It's taken 50 years for US RL to get where it is today with a focus on the last 5-8. While the game hasn't any sort of reputation on a wide scale yet it does have one for those that participate and observe what's happening there. Organisers currently enjoy a reasonable level of credibility...

    What impact would an American pro comp have on RL?

    WTF has that useless piece of information got to do with the price of fish? You have a habit of roaming the forums and stating the obvious or making absurd or obscure statements that add nothing to the discussion(s). You're posts are a waste of space on these boards.

    What impact would an American pro comp have on RL?

    In reference to Roopy's last post: 1. Sourcing US players is the big problem here. There just aren't enough US players capable of playing at a level much above park footy. Sure there are a lot of superb athletes running around but with experience and skill that amounts to nought. The value is...

    TV rights

    So who's the mod who cut the Pro Us Comp thread in half and restarted it as 'TV rights' . A subject that's been hammered to death in the past.

    TV rights

    if we got the tv deal right in the first place they would have made a profit Infers that those who negotiate deals undersell the rights which begs the question if RL was so valuable why aren't others bidding for it? The ESL has put the bite on the TV media for a better deal and is struggling...
