Yes but there has been no news since April, surely with the season next year there should be some more news by now? |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

Things like this make me wonder whether we should have considered changing the code's name in the past. Only a few of those Americans seem to acknowledge that it's RL being played, and I'm worried that they may confuse it with Union or even 'Australian Rules' as one person said. Obviously it's never going to happen, I just wish we had a more easily distinguishable and marketable name so it is clearer that RL is a sport in its own right rather than a 'variant on traditional Rugby'.

Deathball.
That might appeal to the Yanks. |

| Pah, American Football to me looks like Rugby League in some ways, just some, but they wear helmets and body armour!!!!!
Get some of their pro's to do it without the protection and I'll admire em lol.  |

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

It`s much more accurate to say that rugby league, rugby Union, American football and soccer are ALL variants of `football` which was played in the 19th century under a variety of rules which varied from area to area.

I like the NFL but they wear too much padding.

Indeed, and American Football was the first professionally organised football code. |

Quote: The Angry Bohemian " They need the padding though if you see some of the tackles that happen even with all the padding a lot of serious injuries occur, the majority of them are leg injuries (where they dont have so much padding) which suggests that the padding is working and shows why it is needed in the first place '"
Try and play it and you will soon realise that you dont have enough padding on |
