National Rugby League USA

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have put this page up for deletion because it is likely that this competition will never happen. First of all it was announced in 2009, hoping it would start in 2010 now they hope it starts in 2011, still nothing, no website, no further news. Rugby league is still an amateur sport in the United States with barely over 300 adult players and nothing at all in grassroots development. The AMNRL today only has 6 teams competing, some teams even struggle to attract a full team. The USARL then formed in 2011 to take the game more seriously with professional administration unlike the AMNRL not making big announcements and failing to live up to them. If you see the AMNRL website they have announced a Pacific Conference in Hawaii where 6 teams will be competing, turns out there are only 2! That just shows how unprofessional the supposed chairman of the National Rugby League USA, David Niu is! So I come to the conclusion that this comp is only a pipedream and will never happen, if any rugby league competition is going to become professional it is the USARL, they have the right vision to take this game forward in the US.--

 * Comment I agree this league is very unlikely to ever get off the ground. But it's already mentioned (and sourced) at both American National Rugby League and Rugby league in the United States. As it was attached to the former, why not just redirect it there?Cúchullain t/ c 14:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge any relevant information into Rugby league in the United States. If it happens to kick off the article can be split out, otherwise it should probably stay as a section. AIR corn (talk) 04:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
