Interesting post "elsewhere" about the USA Hawks side.

They performed well in 2013, making the QF's, shipped 180 odd points in 3 2017 RLWC games scoring just 2 tries in reply and now have missed out on 2021.......with the #1 reason for their decline being that they stopped relying heavily on heritage players and chose from within their own borders....but Jean reckons that they will be competetive by sticking SL sides in NY, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and other places he found on a map d040.gif
Still, at least they've got a well paid coach eh Bazza icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE " The RFL has to demand of future SL clubs that one of the criteria for entering Super League must be having a junior structure. If that happens we will soon have lots of new talent from France and north America playing in Super League within 5-10 years. At that point nobody will be asking the question

You can only have a junior RL structure at a pro-club if there is a schools and junior RL game in place in the area. Even then you need thousands of kids to play to find the hundreds of decent players you may put through the system to find the handful of players capable of playing professionally. Even then you need trained organisers and coaches to teach them.

You can demand a pro club sets up an academy and staffs and funds it significantly, but you cannot demand that kids must play Rugby League. Of course kids DO play rugby league in Leeds, Hull, St. Helens, Cas, Warrington and Wigan etc. Sadly no kids play Rugby League in Toronto, Ottawa, Barcelona, New York or Belgrade. Worst still if the area is a Rugby Union area they have the junior Rugby game all stitched up for themselves. This is the reality of the situation. David Argylle knows and accepts this.

This is why we can't muck about with the M62 clubs - they produce nearly all the professional players in the Northern Hemisphere.
