...and in other other news, someone is trying to bring league to America. SpikeTV (a channel devoted to manliness) aired the grand final. There are rumours that they will show all of next season. However, no one in America plays league. Everyone involved in rugby here plays Union (well there are a few league clubs that play in a competition), and leaves most of the yanks involved in rugger going "What the hell was that gay rugby I just watched." I'm not saying that to slate league, I watch it, but I've literally had calls from past teamates and the players I've coached, even though I've told them about league.
It's a strange move. They also broke the match up for commercial breaks, which was uber annoying. Last year Setanta had the NRL, shame they either gave it up or lost it.
