The AMNRL's spin page over at We are Rugby is saying that the Melbourne Storm v USA Tomahawks game has been called off. This news, along with rumours that the AMNRL and Grand Prix Rugby are on the outs, suggests that things are back to normal in David Niu's world.

Where have you heard this?

aren't Grand Prix part of the AMNRL? Good that they are acknowledging Axemen on a job well done. Good sign?

I wouldn't book a flight just yet dru. It'll probably end up as a single match played in Philly.

I'd make sure it's definite before making a move Dru.

Don't worry, I can do a last minute booking for a casino and flight for only a few hundred bucks a day or two before.

Anyway will be looking to do a vacation trip around then anyway. Its either that or Jamaica...

That is fascinating... considering that GPE, StarGroup and AMNRL are all together now... that is like free press for the "enemy".

But am surprised that they have not referenced it to you guys.

This doesn't make sense unless something is in the works. AMNRL Facebook no longer being updated except via David Niu's posts yet AMNRL is. Something is foul in Denmark!

Facebook...

You know FB isn't all its made out to be to tell you the truth. I find it a big struggle to generate real traffic with it. In some cases I think FB can be detrimental since it takes potential traffic away from your actual site, which is where the sponsors want to be.

Unless you know how do do social media well and how to link it all together to drive the traffic and sponsors to your benefit, I would not be too upset that their FB site is not being updated.

I'm sure I saw something along the lines PCRL is alluding to a month or so back regarding GP and the AMNRL not seeing eye to eye. I just can't remember where I saw it.

Your not thinking of the Mascord article where he said that the AMNRL had ticked off Premier sports that was trying to do the deal on the Storm game. They are not the same as GPE.

I just want to correlate what PCRL has heard and from where with what I have... it take less of it being just a mere rumour then and gives people more confidence to believe it.

You hear and see so much in RL in general its hard to know what is what most of the time.

That is not what I'm referencing, but I'm not prepared to go any further, other than to say my source said, as I paraphrased in the first post, "rumoured to be."

Does any one know anything about this Bill Tatham. Everything on line seems to suggest he is a fond of comment short on action, I read Druzik's interview and others and he is seriously clueless about rugby or rugby league and hasnt succeeded in anything other then being born to a rich daddy!!

On a positive note the new Commission in Australia has said that Australia has a duty to help grow the world game as part of our finally have real funds and that is the first time I have ever heard that said here!

He was involved with a couple franchises in the failes USFL in the 1980s, that was meant to be the rival to the NFL, but it was badly mismanaged and teams went broke left right and center.
