| Its imperative that the game is taken to schools in America and Canada for the next generation of players to take up the game as Americans are for more professional than our rugby league playing youngsters who are more concerned with drug taking, drinking, falling out of nightclubs, beating up students and scribbling on their arms with biro than being proper professionals like the Americans. Americans also know the importance of an education whilst playing the game

| Tom Edward Patrick Brady, is an American quarterback who was drafted in the 6th round of the NFL draft who later went on to become the GOAT. For the uneducated of rlfans, as a comparison, the 6th round is the standard of Wakefield, Huddersfield or Leigh. Americans have the work ethic that rugby league needs. When Tom Edward Patrick Bailey was only selected in the 6th round, did he turn to drugs? Did he beat up students? Did he resort to homophobic dialect? No, he got his down and through sheer hard work and determination became the best American football player ever. That's the demographic rugby league should be aiming at instead of drug taking, homophobic women beaters

| In reply to the op,
What do the supporters of RL want and what do the RFL want from the game in 5/10/20 years time and, more importantly, how do they expect this to be achieved.
It does appear that the North Americans are trying to build something over there but is there really any appetite for a 10/12 club SL, which includes, say 2 french clubs and 3 "North American" clubs AND what effect would this have on RL in general and more importantly, RL in the UK.
Personally, I believe this model would kill the game in the UK and that if "we" are serious about "helping" the North American game, it has to be in addition to what we have and there has to be significant extra sponsorship to make it worth while.
We look as though we are going blindly into this and hoping for something good at the end, which could be the mother of all mistakes for RL in the UK.

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "The arrival of licencing in some form appears to be imminent.
That will give the RFL the opportunity to fast track Toronto and Toulouse into Super League.
With that revolution achieved, it would be a wise move to consolidate the transformation of rugby league by moving the Halifax, Yorkshire, UK licence to Nova Scotia, Canada. Halifax NS has a population of over 400,000 which is ten times that of Casleford, ands nearly five times that of Halifax, UK. It is within a short flying distance of Toronto, and on the air routes to the UK. It is the home to Dalhousie University, an intellectual asset of which there is nothing comparable in Castleford, Leigh, Widnes etc. There is no major sports team in the city. Halifax NS will be the perfect complement to New York, Boston, and Montreal licences which are coming soon.
We will then be in a strong position to reconceptualise and even rename the RFL as the North Atlantic Rugby League.'"
That's an interesting concept, and makes a presumption that Halifax (West Yorkshire) would be granted an initial licence should the concept of licensing reappear. Bear in mind that the previous rounds of licensing only covered Super League. Also note that each professional club is not only a member of the RFL, but is run by a limited company registered in its home country. I would think that enforcing a geographical movement of membership of a club (with all that would mean for the associated limited company) between countries would probably be unlawful?
