| I've been saying for a while that the WCC should be staged in a developing nation. I would love to see a 4 team event featuring the two Grand Finalists from each comp, played in a single stadium, in an area that already has an RL presence such as Jacksonville or Pennsylvania. The only issue would be the timing, it couldn't be when Crowe suggests because that would clash with the NFL season, it would have to remain a pre-season comp.

| It could become maybe a marquee game, if it was played in Jacksonville, and paired with a tv deal and a tv deal (in UK and USA) for the AMNRL Grand Final, it could be nice event to promote the game!

| Can't knock the guys enthusiasm that's for sure.
RL needs more people like him in the game.

| This is a chance for the aussies to prove they care about the game as a whole. They should use some of the 134 Trillion dollars they are receiving as part of the TV deal to fund it all.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| The US has always struck me as the most obvious place to try to expand the game , the similarities to ' grid iron ' in the watchability from a fans point are there to be seen , the only problem is , if it did take off , they would very quickly change the rules , buy all the top talent and take the whole sport over
Maybe thats why it hasn't been given the support needed , a case of , lets expand , but not too much that we lose control or end up second best

FWIW the US hasn't been deprived of support and is progressing nicely.

So the sport is run by fans of lower tier clubs ? , how strange I thought it was Richard Lewis , Nigel wood and Gary Hetherington
So which clubs do they support ?
