For rugby league to properly take off in the good ol' USA, it needs to get high school and college teams playing

| Quote Damo-Leeds="Damo-Leeds"Was reading somewhere that someone who grew up liking American football could relate to rugby league more than rugby union. I don’t think rugby league will ever be as big as American football over there but I do think in the next ten years we can see crowds of around 10k flocking to the stadiums which is a start.'"
Well, the relation (number of tackles) is obvious, but I reckon Gridiron is more like union. More set plays, mote tactics, more coaches, more time-outs, less playing football.
Where RL can be a success is it can become an alternative route for college football players. The college level is far more fast-paced and less tactics and ad breaks. There is a market in the US that follow college football but don't follow the NFL. |

The debate regarding college Football players switching to RL was had here:
[urlhttp://viewtopic.php?t=300599&highlight=[/url
Came about as a result of this article:

| Quote Marty McRhino="Marty McRhino"
The main problem is the media, they love the four main sports American Football, Basketball, Baseball and Ice Hockey because there is lots of stoppage time where they can place commercials in.
'"
Not exactly. Television is the reason why they have so many stoppages. If you go back a few decades you'd notice significantly fewer stoppages for ad breaks. Also, sports channels over here don't seem to mind showing soccer without breaking for commercials every five minutes. |

Aye, College Football is massive in the US. Some of those games get bigger crowds than NFL games. It's also a lot more exciting to watch because they tend to just go for it. As you say, less tactics, more instinct and just pushing it. |

|  8 Teams can't make a viable competition though. You would need 10 minimum. |

That's not true. The old American Football League started in 1960 with 8 teams (and a TV contract with NBC). |
