Quote: headhunter "Funny because that's exactly the attitude adopted by a lot of English fans, particularly those who follow certian lower league sides.

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 ?

If you are incapable of understanding clear points which are backed up by fact and evidence then that's not my fault.

Thats one problem to his idea. Also I dont think the top clubs will be happy at adding an extra 4/5/6 games to the season.

What about playing the first four nations game Aus v NZ in the US?

i have no problem understanding what go's on in the real world.

the few post that iv'e read of yours would suggest that you on the other hand truely believe that the clubs in the CC leagues and half a dozen posters on here wealed all the power in rugby league,that really is bizzare.

Back to topic, I reckon for RL to develop in the USA it needs to get into colleges and schools like Gridiron, Netball and Rounders do. The amount of people that show up to watch college games is phenomenal.

The biggest problem that RL would have in the USA is that it is too fast and too difficult for yer average american to comrehend.

They have the attention span of a gnat!

Crikey they have commentators at their sports telling them whats going on. They get quick sections of action in NFL and then stop for minutes on end, same in baseball where they have organists playing at certain fields.

TV is adverts every 10 minutes or less and as for programming, talk about dumbing down!!!

Grand idea....hopefully there are some backers to it....as I can't see it happening if left to the RFL and ARL. Would probably be the best chance and idea out there at present (or in the past) to get the game at an international stage expanded....thing is though, could you take then being the 4th best team in the world?? As America will no doubt overtake us rapidly if it caught on over there!!!

I think the point is that Ice Hockey is probably the fastest team sport and it's popular in the States.

What... 5 tackles and a kick?

I've recently come back from the USA. In fact I'm off to live and work there in January.

If anything gridiron (boring though it may be) seems more complicated than footy is.


I'm not sure footy will ever make much of an impact in the US. If its not Nascar, baseball, ice hockey or NFL they arent really that interested.

Russell Crowe might create a bit of interest.. but I don't think those Seppos will be deserting the superbowl to go along and watch it
