I don't think he is; he genuinely seems to be that stupid.

So what do you think the 8 cities are? New York City, NY (1 team: Knights, and 2 local teams: Raiders and Wildcats) Philadelphia, PA (1 team: Fight, and 2 teams in area: Sharks and Bulls) Washington DC (1 team: Slayers, and 1 team in area: Eagles) Jacksonville, FL (1 team: Axemen) New Haven, CT (1 team, Warriors) Boston, MA (1 former team, Wolfhounds) Unless they're going with just any city, like Norwalk (which is where the Wildcats play), etc. then it could be pretty much anyone of the 10 current teams! Interesting that the West Coast Rugby League are also talking about the NRLUS venture also http://westcoastrugbyleague.com Everything is just guesswork, really. This could either be really big exciting news or just another false down in international RL.

Even if they went part time and got some proper funding Championship style it would be a major way forward.

Could be what they're implying. Never said full-time. (Doesn't actually say much at all!). If they can get the standards up to Championship 1 level, then maybe they could have a four-way tournament between the winner from that league, the French league and the Russian league.


8 cities and 8 teams implies they have an idea of what the format will be.

BUT WE NEED MORE INFORMATION!!!

with this on the horizon, it would be idiotic not to have some RLIF funded internationals and the WCC over in the US

even if it is only a step to a national semi-pro comp, that is a huge step and a massive acheivement from the administrators over there

Had to pull out of the playoffs despite winning their first game. Not surprising though, the US isn't a small country and Jax rack up the airmiles getting to games.
