The USARL has pulled rank after sanctioning the Redtails game against Canada Ravens only a few weeks ago. 

Apparently now the Women's team will also be called the Hawks. 

It seems the Redtails will continue though...

This seems less of a further split and more of a gluing things back together?

I see where you're coming from but the USARL wasn't doing a women's programme, someone else stepped up and did it, the USARL (seemed to) sanction it and is now possibly doing their own.

It's very strange.

I suspect it's been made clear - or as clear as things ever are in rugby league - that USA Women can't enter World Cup qualifiers unless they're under the direct control of the sanctioning body recognised by IRL.

What if they are a minor shareholer in GB Oceana Limited? Is that a workaround?

The Americans seem to have got the hang of classic RL administration quicker than they have on the playing side.

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

Assume that the Redtails is another organisation, how many is that they've had who don't/didn't talk to each other?

AMNRL, USARL, NARL, California RL, Redtails ... all inside 20 years?

NARL was never a legit entity. Basically a couple of nutters with a twitter page and a few "team" logos to go with it.

I'm including it because it did get to the point of having players 'signed' up to it but I do completely take your point.

If only splitting and infighting was an Olympic sport. Hopefully they sort it out. And talk to each other. I don't think male and female national team mascots need to be the same. Kangaroos/Jillaroos.

No, but it would be nice if the Jillaroos wore the recognised Australian rugby league colours rather than rahrah ones.
