No news item. We play out of New York. Be more interesting if a team was going to play in New York

Is there any other sport in the world that has a domestic competition where the teams competing are based in different countries? And different continents?!

I'm all for expansion. It really gets my when fans of clubs that have stood still for 70 years moan about an expansionist team, who dare to do more in 5 years, than some "traditional" clubs have in 50.

HOWEVER

The RFL need to think about what sort of league we will have. If we have a competition of New York, Toronto, Catalans, Toulouse, what impact will have have on the English game? Is that what the RFL want the end goal to be? A league with teams from USA, Canada, France and England?
