Sounds like he is on the payroll.

Where exactly are these Chinese, Indian and US squads being plucked from?

no idea why there aren’t heritage teams from the subcontinent being formed in the north of England. I knew a lot of Pakistani heritage guys that played and there has to be the numbers to get Indian and Bangladeshi sides going there.

Possibly hasn't helped that BARA (British Asia Rugby Association) has been heavily involved with the World Rugby League group.

Possibly has put the guys involved with the Jungle Cats off reaching out as they are trying to get IRL membership.

anyone see ch9 sydney news last night

Gus Gould was there as one of the speakers to launch the event.

It was mentioned briefly but its main attention was Gus maybe becoming a player agent.

as they say any news is good news

So which governing body is watching over this exactly? We’ve got the USARL being left out in favor of the AMNRL Tomahawks, a China team appearing out of nowhere, and is this Indian team the jungle cats or some other mysterious entity?
