USARL scores 'n' stuff 2017

[Golden point]

It's honestly nothing to do with that. Expectations have risen. Certain teams have risen the bar and others have struggled to go with them. The usarl itself is no different to this time four years ago, just the bar of competency has risen. I believe those in charge are doing what they can, it's a case of lack of man power, lack of funding. You can't utilise what you don't have.

Secondly look how many games the usa has played in recent seasons, look how many domestic players are being given an opportunity in these games. These fixtures cost a serious amount of money to run. The bill for north v south which we ran last October cost nearly ten grand

Do you have any hint of what could be expected for publicity in the us as they have a team in the world Cup? Coverage? I was hoping that the USARL could ride on that a bit ?

Now there's forfeits going on.

Wasn't the USARL taking over to prevent these things? Things really seem to be going backwards in many cases. Certainly not going forwards despite it being a World Cup year and the first season after being handed the 2025 WC.

Forfeits aren't all bad though. Both Boston and Philly received the points according to the latest standings.

Any reason this thread died?
If I'm not mistaken both of last year's finalists are now eliminated from the comp.

There is an extremely high chance that a new name will be on the trophy this year. All but certain to be honest

100% chance to be exact. None of the teams remaining in the playoff have won a USARL title. More specifically, the Knights are the only team to have won a championship period (including AMNRL history). Definitely a changing of the guard.

Thought it was but tbh wasn't 100% how the north worked this year with the rejig. I think New York are nailed on tbh as after watching a few of their games none of the southern teams are good enough to beat them. The northern final will all but decide the champions imho. Only thing that could count against them is the heat, might slow em down a bit

Thanks for the updates.... These results and discussions are appreciated.

Massive win for us at Tampa. We gave debuts to three guys due to them training hard and competition for places is always good. Some of the more established guys will need to step up in training if they want their places back

Hi mate

Which club do you play for?

None mate. I'm one of the owners of the Mayhem for all the grief it gives me

The atlanta Rhinos defeated the mayhem 32-24 to March into the final tonight. New York and brooklyn play as I type

New York won the northern final so it will be an Atlanta v New York national final in Atlanta and a new USARL winner.

Went to the NYC v Brooklyn game. Players sent off, all-in brawls, one left in an ambulance, coaches screaming at the touchies from the sideline. Amazing stuff.

Atlanta 32 New York 18

First national championship for Atlanta and only the second southern division club to win it.

I thought they were excellent. After watching a few of their games online I thought new York would win at a canter in truth. So glad for the boys over at the Rhinos, could be a real stepping stone for them

Any YouTube or video of the game?
