I am wondering whether this will actually be more like a step up 'semi pro' comp - inspired from the Jax camp. It is clear that many in the present league cannot keep up with Jax and that is fine but clear leaders like Jax will need to be part of a higher level league.
Spinner has said there was Cable interest in RL and they certainly have captured the attention of Jacksonville, so you never know. I was told some time ago they had a working comittee of sporting identities and business guys working on a proposal for such.
The reality is that IF done right RL has some key contacts that could help it skyrocket in the USA. It would be a perfect 'filler' for the american football off season. Fast, aggressive yet still simple. All in all a cheap 'product'
Think you've hit the nail on the head there mate. Spnner's model is exactly the way interested parties should be looking. He has shown that it's achievable in the right market. People have got to realise this can't be "pie in the sky". Rugby League has a future I believe as a niche sport so it has to be measured and slow progess.
