Broncos are happy these days with how the game is run lol

I don't think it'll be Australia this time, but there are some interesting things happening internationally. There's a club revolt happening in the UK super league against the RFL which could open the door for a NRL take over.

Rugby league bound for civil war as RFL fight Super League-led plans for chairman removal

Rugby league is threatening to descend into all-out civil war: with the RFL seeking legal advice to object to plans to bring back Nigel Wood as chair.

And the rule changes the MLR competition have just announced regarding scrums in America has international rugby nervous....... MLR is going to look more and more like rugby league. Perhaps the whole comp will defect in the future.

Major League Rugby set for 'strange rule changes' which is 'a great way to kill the sport in the USA'

It aint hard.

Just invent an imperial to metric, yards to meters calculator, which upon delivering an answer spits out a 10% discount offer for a USA fast food chain.

Problem solved.

What about the tariff?

Interesting article posted a few pages back from a union journo talking bout the different approaches by union to league.

Union has investested millions upon millions trying to grow the game at grass roots, league is trying the opposite, starting from the top down.

I was surprised to see the union journo saying league has a better chance of taking off in the USA.

Wiki has it at 2,500 RU clubs in USA.
I think we'd be pretty happy if we had 2,500 RL clubs in America dont you?
What is there about 25 Rugby League clubs?
Their ROI looks pretty good from here.

Unlike you guys, I've never clicked on anything he has ever written. It's easy to ignore him when you're interested in something other than endless code wars.

It's funny, without you guys who claim to hate him, he wouldn't have a job.

That sounds like something Fitz would say!

Nrl doesn’t have the money to make a difference in super league and the English game doesn’t really want to make the changes Aussies would want regarding mergers or kicking out clubs like Leigh hull ke Wakey and huddersfield

There might be more collaboration though and hopefully they take an origin over there

Yes it is.........super league war on the horizon again???

Yeah this time we`ll just sit back and take the best offer.

What about the tariff

Bonus bread roll for locals + free ticket to Australia Zoo on a reciprocal tourism deal.

Keep it simple 3 games we all knew four was overkill, esp the order. If they really wanted to do 4 could have had the women's game first then SL, 2 NRL.

Need British clubs involved.

2026
SL: St Helens V Leeds
NRL1: Melbourne Storm V NQ Cowboys
NRL2: Canterbury Bulldogs V St George
2027
SL: Hull derby
NRL1: Dolphins V Newcastle
NRL2: Wests Tigers V Parramatta
2028 ?
SL: ? Maybe get Wigan back against someone.
NRL1: Titans V Broncos
NRL2: Rabbitohs V Western Bears ?
