| Quote JTB="JTB"The game in America is at an interesting stage at the moment. They are on the verge of sending the current league, based around teams along the Eastern seaboard, professional either in 2011 or 2012. There is also a drive for a 'western expansion' with teams up the Western seaboard springing up clearly with some funding behind them. Here's Seattle's new team, Seattle Force, advertising their launch and new kit:

The following teams cities have expressed an interest in forming a team to join the expansion: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Las Vegas, Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), Denver, Salt Lake City and Phoenix. That would do me as a tour

Do they have 'real' ale in Vegas ?

| I would love this to happen. I honestly feel that if this happened and it was a success - RL would seriously get alot more coverage and respect - it cracked America.
Lets just hope the buffoons running the IRL, RFL and NRL listen to Russell Crowe.

| If we could spread to a major market such as America which Union will likely never crack. Then it could serve to make those who in times gone by would have watched Union seeing League instead.
If instead of the league system Russell is proposing, we had a traditional play-off system of a top 8 which we use in SL and in NRL.
With our number 1 team and their number 1 team having the top 2 spaces and getting a second chance etc.

| I'd like something similar to happen in South Africa, but it will never happen. South Africa i think could have so much potential for league.

Yup, two of my favourite boozers in the world are in the Four Queens Casino (Chicago Cigar Lounge IIRC) and the brewpub at the Main Street Station casino

| That would be awesome...
I wouldn't rush to make it too big personally (stick to 4 clubs, not 8 imo)
But if we are really want to crack the market there, we would need all the best players there, regardless of club, so maybe some sort of SL vs NRL competition running along side the WCC with the best players from teams outside the top 4.
Oh and make it pay [ireally[/i well for the players. Give them something outside that cap and a reason not to cry off injured.

| If they get the right people in charge & we are stuck with the RFL numpties, RL in America will soon overtake RL in Europe.
