I dont understand what you mean by this.
Quote freddies wig="Barry_McKenzie"But the 'Globetrotters' were just some Bball side that did exhibition type stuff to entertain the crowds werent they?
How would that work in a RL type of thing?

See the OP for details. Why couldnt this happen in RL? A team playing an exciting brand of RL. |

Well none of the SL clubs have managed it since 1997.
so who is going to play for this Globetrotters outfit?
And who is going to coach them?? |

It means dream on mate. Do really think the RFl is awash with money after all those empty seats at the magic weekend?
And do you really think SL chairman voted for licensing for the good of the game, as opposed to guaranteed income for their clubs for three years?
Would a welsh team be in SL if it meant a SL team losing out? No.
As i said, dream on

But that would be the Globetrotters aim
Tony Smith would be a good coach for them to have
possible team line up to aim for
1 Billy Slater
2 Ryan Hall
3 Greg Inglis
4 Jamal Idris
5 Kevin Penny
6 Paul Sykes
7 Jarrod Sammut
8 Micheal Vella
9 James Roby
10 Eorl Cradtree
11 Ali Lauititi
12 Ben Harrison
13 Anthony Watmough

Can anyone who is against the idea actually come up with any reasons why?
I think its such a shame RL fans believe they have the greatest game but object so strongly to anything which will help spread the game rather than just being played on the M62 corridor.

1. all RL fans already follow a team or 2/3 i myself follow the cru the scorpions and my local RLC team.
a new nomadic team will have what fans? why would people commit to a new team and get involved get passionate about that team if they knew it was going to bugger off in 12 months.
how many cru fans can honestly say if they knew they would disappear to wrexham would actually have got so heavily involved?
2 where will they play that isn't already covered. basically the end of nowhere. scotland. ireland. the isle of man. devon and cornwall. this brings the problems of travel. some fans wont and can't travel to far due to cost and or work etc. plus with only minimal interest in the local area the team would essentially be fully bankrolled by the RFL or some support tax drawn from other sides in SL.
the RFL can't afford it. especially as that team you put up would shatter all possible illusions of a salary cap.

Not all RL fans think like that mate,personally i hope the Crusaders succeed and prove all the doubters wrong.  |

I think you have missed the point here. Check the OP. The idea isnt to get current fans to switch alliegence and to start supporting the globtrotters. The idea is to go to a new city and get new fans and players into the game (as stated in the OP). The Globetrotters would stay in each city for three years.

Where would they play that is'nt already covered 
Well i suppose it does rule out West Yorkshire and Lancashire, but again check the OP for suggested regions. |
