Damien Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 NARL announced a few days ago that they were making an announcement about their future plans on Monday. I did think that New York were a key player with the whole NARL setup so this doesn't seem to bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigbyLuger Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Was it ever anything other than merchandise sales? No coach appointed, no finance behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be confusing the New York City operation with the NY Freedom, the first never really existed other than as an online shop whilst the Freedom was / is a real entity with a ground, coach and a growing squad which would have been ready to go if the dodgy NARL cash hadn't suddenly vanished overnight. The Freedom pulling out of the NARL indicates they are probably going to align themselves with the USARL, who are working with the IRL to try and get themselves properly organised for next year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to add, the NARL looks like a dead duck unless they have found another dodgy investor, which I doubt, but we'll see what they have to say for themselves tomorrow.

Whippet13 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 20 minutes ago, Mr Frisky said: Is the World Cup in the US still going ahead? It is only the preferred option and no decisions have been made, I think the IRL will want to get France 2025 confirmed and the organisational work well underway before looking at getting the 2029 event agreed. Doubt it'll be decided upon for a year or two and they will also want to know how the US game is developing, that's probably part of the reason the IRL are currently working with the USARL. I think the NRLs growing interest in the US sports betting market might actually make the USA a more likely candidate for 2029 as they will see potential benefit in it for themselves.

As long as they're the body got the professional game on that continent, working with the USARL and CRL, I don't see a great issue with it.

Leonard Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I heard a lack of away fans was the issue. They will play in a league with Newark and Long Island. No sure yet where the museum will be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each want their own way, their own agendas, their own powers, so they go separate ways, it's how RL came to be and more recently the darts splt.

Quite clear from the outset all are separate ventures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe they should merge all their assets which in this case is viable/ish teams. Take them at the top to discuss and compromise, each side may have to swallow some pride, but it would be for the greater good of the sport in North America 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
