New North American Competition?

[DIOGENES]

So it looks like there was a 6 round competition in Florida and nothing elsewhere

USA Rugby League | USARL | XIIIs Competition StandingsUSARL Standings

I think it safe to say that NA RL is back to where it was 20 years ago

I’ve long since accepted that if I except to watch rugby of any form being played in new places it’ll be union not league.

Interesting a ‘Major League Cricket’ competition was launched last Friday in the USA.

Comprised of 6 teams and funded to the tune of $175,000,000 (yup, that’s 6 zeroes.)

It has the backing of 4 x IPL teams and2 (NSW & Vic) State boards..Steve Smith is an Ambassador and may play in
Mid 2024..

This is how it’s done..

It'll be interesting to see if Americans take to 20/20 cricket, basically a faster version of baseball. It could be a good gauge to see if they'll like league, basically a faster version of Grodirion.

Tbh, but unless it’s NFL, MLB, NBA America will never be interested..

Sports of all kinds can do their best to try and get some percentage of the US market, but it’ll never work in long term, except maybe Sokka.

I ask what would, say, $20,000,000 from the NRL/ESL do for a 8 team USRL comp, instead of 2 games per year for 5 years in League free LV??

As there is a significant and increasing Indian (both east and west but not red) population in the US, it is likely that 20/20 will find a niche.
