I remember Perez hinting in an interview that 2 more teams were in the pipeline and one of them was in Boston. |

Isn't there already a team, the White Plains Wombats? Are they looking to push cash into that team or create a new one, based more where the current NYC sports teams are based?

I wouldn't get too excited just yet. The guy bankrolling Toronto has always said he wants a north American (continent) league. So I'd see this as a speculative expansion, using SL & the NRL as names to bolster interest, then in a few (5 ?) years time break away & create a new league. Not sure how that would work in the long term, with the established "sports" having such a stronghold in (if not strangle-hold on) the broadcast media.

You would think that the RFL would look to schedule Superleague clubs away games on consecutive weekends v New York and Toronto, but it's the RFL we're talking about so it probably won't happen.

They would need to be in the same division first to be fair, which rules out the first season at least. Agree it would make sense for SL clubs and full time Championship clubs though if they eventually get to the same division. |

It's exciting times!! They will bring money to the game they will add to viewing figures and raise the profile of sl outside of the UK. If as posted above they end up with a north American league it will eventually create a larger pool of talent with sl seen as the step up??
The concern I have about a north American league is the salary cap question, will they have one? If so it's not beyond belief that afigure of say 10m a year could be afforded by wealthy owners and their own TV deal? Meaning they could just import best from sl and the nrl
