On the other hand, it could be career death for an aspiring international/NRL player due to the lower standard of play.... Tend to think we'll see the 'one last pay day' types going to NARL. Yeah because the MLS is doing so badly because it’s a one last payday league. Or maybe it’s driving growth in American ‘soccer’, creating a sustainable league and attracting thousands of fans every week 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just adds fuel to the fire of the scepticism of all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a Rugby League or Super League fan Pulga, he's just a shi t stirrer. A kent. Like I said weeks ago, Super League may become an irrelevance soon. What they do (Super League) over the next 10 years will either keep them in Tier One, or see them slip below the line. If they do (sink), and the yanks overtake us then whether Super League prospers or not will be irrelevant because it'll be all about the America's (the new world Super League) and we'll become second rate like the England Soccer team. Time and tide waits for no man. The Rugby League world's tide is rising with or without us. Edited April 15, 2021 by fighting irish 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have to be the boldest prediction of all time. You've basically said: I predict they will either succeed or fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re already seeing it, chief. See above. Just on a commensurately modest scale. But yes, if a Sonny Bill type sees out his playing days at Boston Thirteens or whoever, that would be huge.

Hey English RL was offered a seat in the kayak with the Wolfpack but they clearly turned it down....now the kayak has left the shore bound for new and exciting destinations....a light following sea with a nice tradewind is at our backs....a large error was made by Elstone and his brainwashed, shortsighted cronies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
