Read I few months ago anthony minichello and nathan hindmarsh where debating finishing their careers there. I t
hink the rabbitohs did a pre season game In jacksonville. Probably got more chance of rl catching on in the u s of a then in london. Could pull on a massive pool of unlucky not to have made it nfl players.

If anybody intrested in the AMNRL link to on social network site.

You would be amazed at the number of countries that now play RL.

was it true that 25.000 watched russia v usa a few years back in moscow ?

Wouldn't be surprised. Suits American's sporting choices down to the ground. Just a matter of time until it kicks off IMO, but will take really something to break into the real limelight of American sports.

Nobody has mentioned that after the 2004 Tri Nations, Australia played the USA Tomahwaks in Philidelpia , eventually winning 36 -24.

dont get them involved they would want to keep changing the rules to suit them mmmmm where have i heard that before

theyve hasd ateam for about 60 years and the current pro league is about 12 years old

they are going to try and start a franchise league next year with 5 centrally contarcted forigners in each team

stacy jones launched it last year

Never one to really 'embrace' monumental change and break tradition but there's something about having a decent American influence on RL that would be very interesting!

anyone had a look at the facebook page photos? a few ex and current fc players in the pics

The current league is not a pro league as most of the players don't get paid, although some of the teams are run like semi-pro clubs due to the distances involved. The biggest club, Jacksonville Axemen, has a larger average crowd than Leigh. They were talking about introducing a full-time league if they could secure a TV deal, but so far there hasn't been any sign of this actually happening.
