I don't see why we cannot have Dublin, New York and Belgrade all included in League One by 2020. Especially so if we expect an ambitious and glamourous New York to catapault into the Championship in 2021, and Super League in 2022. Belgrade and Dublin would be expected to rise up more slowly because of a lack of financial backing that New York would have.

And how do we expect all these part time players in the lower leagues to take all the time off work to go to the away games?

It takes under 1 hour to fly to Dublin, they could travel there and back on the same day if they wish.

Good luck to them seem to be going about it the right way with Irish players I do hate grounds with a running track around them though

As much as I'd love to see an Irish team in the league the harsh reality is that there just isn't the interest to make it sustainable. Your also competing with Union, Football and GAA.

Who are these investors?

The quote states that "I’m told the RFL knows of people in Ireland willing to invest in rugby league.".......why does he ramble on about having a business plan, looking for a tie in with an airline sponsor to cover costs and if final proof were needed that the business plan is written on the back of a beer-mat, we have "and every major company has offices in Dublin".....a statement that is both vague and pointing to this being an idea and a non sustainable one at that.......for example, I'd counter that London has more corporate HQ's of international Giants than Dublin has satellite offices of those companies



David Argyle was sold an idea by Perez.....the absence of Perez from the club as early as yer 2 as well as the apparent disputes regarding various suppliers and flights back into Glasgow point to not everything being rosy at Toronto, who also whined about the expense of the qualifiers if they weren't allowed play in blocks of 4 games.....Argyle is minted and will maybe hang around, but only as long as he gets his way and there are plenty of strong chairmen and owners in SL already......as MarwanK discovered.

Happy to proven wrong, but there's not the audience for RL in Dublin, especially as they'll be a team made up of 80% failed Union players......

Oh...the choice of name will alienate the other 31 counties. The Dublin GAA side play in Blue......

So do Cavan, Longford, Laois, Tipperary and Wicklow.

Why do RLfans always claim we have the greatest game on earth, but dismiss out of hand RL’s chance of success outside the m62 corridor. That’s something I’ve never been able to understand.

Correct Kev, I regularly fly out on the 6:40 from Leeds Bradford, Manchester or Liverpool to Dublin and return at around tea time.

Most the time you’ll get it for £20 as well!

How about passport control, security checks and baggage reclaim?
