Petersen, McGoldrick and Vassiloukopoulos to name three played for the Tomahawks in the WC qualifiers.
It certainly is curious though. If it isn't just a way to engage the fans (which is a good idea) then what really could be made of an internet poll?
Jax have put a link promoting the poll so in some regard they must take it seriously. Maybe the money from TV (it is being promoted as a 'made for TV' competition) will cover expenses wherever it goes.
I wish some more substantial info would come out. I find the fact that Jax Axe are still ''applying for a team" when there City has been mentioned as a certainty a little disconcerting. I certainly hope this comes off
The USNRL site needs an active forum.
US fans looking at what the game is about on the net should find an active forum.

Well, they could if they wanted to, but they will probably be looking at a website to rival nrl.com sometime in the future.To bad they can't link to this one?

and i've posted in every thread i think.nevermind - its up already.
I've just submitted my vote for Washington DC. I think the capital should definitely have a team. It's a big city with some "rugby" culture, with two AMNRL teams (Slayers, Eagles) in its environs. Currently Washington is 5th in the poll (admittedly with only a small number of votes), with Jacksonville, not surprisingly, way out in front. Boston is also polling well. Whether this poll will have any bearing on the placement of the franchises, ... who knows? But I do think it is a good way to try to engage the potential fans, even distant ones such as myself.
Get your vote (www.nrlus.com) in now. :-k
I'm in, as a DC Slayers "fan" - I've voted Washington DC.
Plus with two AMNRL teams in the area it seems a natural choice.
a few things is the tv deal done and why does the forum they have not work.
It looks as if there may be some "campaigning" happening ;-)
With just under 550 votes, Philadelphia has now surged to the lead with @22% of the vote, followed by Jacksonville with @20%, and Washington with @9%. It'll be interesting to see how long the poll will stay up, and what the final count will be, and if it ends up having any influence at all on the final franchise locations.
If you haven't already voted, do so now (www.nrlus.com)
First thing you've said on this thread that I agree with. I think it's fairly obvious that the poll will have no bearing whatsoever, and it's pretty ridiculous to even suggest that it will. At least I hope so.But back to the vote. Will the final vote have anything to say where the 8 teams are based? If it does then this competition will be a joke. You can't set up a competition based on a internet vote.
I don't know whether to take the poll seriously or not. Actually I don't know whether to take the whole NRLUS thing as being serious or not. Nothing I have heard or read in the past month or so gives me any confidence that it will even kick off let alone succeed. I was waiting for April 1st to come with some thought it was all an April fools day joke. That day has come and past but it still would not surprise me if this is some sort of a joke.
But back to the vote. Will the final vote have anything to say where the 8 teams are based? If it does then this competition will be a joke. You can't set up a competition based on a internet vote.

I doubt that. IMO it's just a way to make sure that they're making the right decisions. If there was one city that got 60% of the vote but they weren't planning on giving a team too they might reconsider.
