Nah that’s just defeatist

Maybe you are related to Neville chamberlain ? lol

You’re totally wiping out a good chunk of the games history

Plus if you know anything about Vichy they denied rugby league the right to use the name rugby and had to use the derogatory game of x111

what nonsense, you're not wiping out history, it will stay in the records, its called evolution. As you know the game never even started off being called rugby league

Going by your logic we'd still be called 'Northern Rugby Football Union' lol

There’s that nasty r word popping up again

In all the names the game has chosen r is the only constant

If you want to wipe out the r then the games history starts at 1907

Wasting your time mate. He has a long history of arguing himself into a corner. Nobody agrees with him on this point but he just drones on and on against logic.

The Golden Peanut / Bestest rugby league fan eva! Double is yours for the taking wbtiktok.

WWII was all about restoring rugby league's right to use the word rugby.

And that battle continues to this day all the way to Las Vegas, Nevada USA.

I can live with that as the name as long as everyone pronounces it in a Yorkshire accent.

Most people aren't as stupid as is being made out on here. If they're interested enough in the NRLs promos and the games it's easy enough with the internet to see there are two types of Rugby

Rugby League is bigger in Australia than any other country in the world, and yet half of the nation has no idea of the nuance between the two codes.

You can't undo what's there. The nrl aren't going to change the game into another sport so some people don't get confused.

Considering nobody on earth cares about club rugby or that super rugby crap you'd have to be a huge dullard to confuse the NRL with the ARU when searching for the NRL on the Web after seeing a NRL game on TV with NRL splashed on the screen.

you'd have to know if people are likely to search for NRL or for "rugby" to know the answer to that one.

And apparently you can only search for a single word or acronym in a search engine.

That what gets me about this whole argument. Who types a single word into a search engine and simply takes the first hit to pop out. Type in anything logical logical into Google as the second word and you get the results you need.

And I don’t just mean league, albeit that is obviously going to work. People are going to type in ‘Vegas’, or one of the team names, or even the names of one of the handful of US opinion makers talking up the game but using the term rugby…

Guess where they lead?

I'm not sure the Yanks currently have enough education to differentiate between the Kiwis and All Blacks, however.

I'm pretty sure a very large percentage of them wouldn't know who either are or what sport they play.

A NRL game is going to be shown on Fox Sports network fta channel. Just make sure NRL is seen every second of game time and they shouldn't have a problem finding out about the game if they're interested.
