you need to develop a sport from the grass roots before it can succeed... that means getting the schools to play and developing a fan base.
you cant just plonk a pro sport team into alien territory and expect it to work.

stop dreaming about world domination you little napoleons and concentrate on saving the existing league clubs about to go broke.
Just like 100 years ago when RL was started here in this beautiful country of ours .I suppose back then they were dreaming aswell eh? :P

By the way I was in homebush on on saturday, and before the manly and dogs game went to the pub to watch the warriors and parra game,they had one TV for yawnion and the other for League .The whole crowd was watching league, the union nada.

Was reading somewhere that someone who grew up liking American football could relate to rugby league more than rugby union. I don’t think rugby league will ever be as big as American football over there but I do think in the next ten years we can see crowds of around 10k flocking to the stadiums which is a start.

And can they call it the NRL? Dont the Aussies have copyright or something?


They are most likely to call it the WRL:

WORLD RUGBY LEAGUE.
Cause the world revolves around America, right?

I hope one of the new Franchises takes Meli off our hands as one of their marquee players. That would be epic.

American [Rugby League] History
In 1939 the Californian Rugby Football Union wrote to the RFL to tell them they wanted to switch from rugby union and affiliate to the RFL. In June 1939 the RFL made plans to send a delegation out to California but were unable to do so due to the outbreak of World War Two.

Pity that....

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
