Intersting development there, im not sure this will do the game much good internationally, but i can understand the motives behind it.

Spinner at the Axemen, and the guys at the Fight have especially strived to form professional organisations with many of the founder clubs being years behind, and from what I can gather, Dave Niu seems to have a firm grip on the reigns in the AMNRL.

I think the more clubs the better out there, but I hope that this rift can be resolved soonm as it does no good for the game as a whole.

I guess time will tell, but I would hazard a guess that the more professionally run competition would drown out the other, with clubs moving to the more profitable competition and hopefully creating a strong teambase for USA rugby league in the future.

is it the amnrl that runs the international team set up? if so do you think that they will allow players from the usarl to play for them? if not i cant see them qualifying for the world cup

geez like they don't have enough challenges getting the game going over there! Shame that passionate people about the game can;t find common ground to move it foreward.
