It is all very well having more teams in North America but where are the quality players going to come from, especially when our game can no longer attract players from Rugby Union.
A situation which is not being helped by many of our own professional/semi professional clubs not running Academies and the declining number of players in the Amateur game where some clubs are no longer running a second team and the number of of young players on reaching around eighteen and finding that they are not going to make it at a professional/semi professional level disappear from the game and find other careers and interests.
The more teams in North America you get, the more the quality and quantity of players will go down in our own game.
The RFL need to look at why our game is not spreading outwards from the M62 corridor in our own country and indeed Europe instead of bothering about a novelty of professional clubs in North America run by money people who when they see that they are not getting a return on their investment, will simply pull the plug and leave Rugby League in a embarrassing situation.
And just how many supporters who after the experience of going to clubs in North America for the first time will go in following seasons?
