[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 904748, member: 73648"] Part of its national team part of its just rooting for the guys themselves. MLR doesn’t have the facilities or the coaching needed for world class athletes yet and if these guys want to be on their way to being world class they need to be in overseas set ups. MLR is great for getting guys into a bare minimum professional set up. The more players that leave for overseas opens up more roster spots for guys here. It also gives American rugby credibility if we show we can produce guys contributing in tier 1 competitions. On the national team part of it there’s a theory going around that our soccer team fell apart when all our best players came back to MLS they lost their spark. When you have a comfortable spot in the starting in your domestic league you don’t compete day in day out. We need our best players having to compete for spots every day instead of just cruising into the XV every game. When MLR can provide the best facilities, coaches, and competition, then we can start to have our best players play there. [/QUOTE]
