Quote: Hedgehog King "a) It's talk nothing more
b) & c) no, it isn't stupid to have a foreign team in a domestic league; Catalans and New Zealand are not "stupid" but what is stupid is to pretend that the logistics involved are comparable to the occasional NFL game in London or a Super Rugby game between Dunedin and Durban.

b) And why would they do that? It would cost a lot less and do them much more good to put a team in Perth instead. Something that they have failed to do.
c) This is why it won't happen. And even if it did, it would still not be comparable. The West coast of the USA isn't as far as New South Wales.'"

a) talk coming from the chief commissioner of the league no less. whether it happens or not, clearly its being "taken seriously" https://twitter.com/HubbuchNYP/status/3 ... 6229582848 www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... -in-london
b & c) on the first post you've heavily misrepresented my point there, at no point have I cited anything about the occasional NFL games, only the potential of moving a franchise permanently, which is evidently something the NFL is considering if you see above. on the second post, yes there are differences in the logistics that would make an NRL move significantly more difficult which I have acknowledged, the distance being the main one, but to say there are NO similarities between a potential London NFL franchise and a potential London NRL franchise is ludicrous. again, whether the former happens or not my aim was only to point out that it is at least being taken seriously as an idea and to draw attention to the similarities between the two, im not here to debate the viability of either
