How can the NRL grow it’s brand in the USA? It will take a long term effort and investment in three things; Product, visibility and opportunity. Listen in as I unpack this topic and give the NRL some tips on how to seriously grow the brand in the states.

#154 | How to build the NRL brand in the USA

The Rugby League in America team is back and ready to jump into all the latest rugby league news for the Western Hemisphere. Although we have lost a trusted voice on the podcast (hopefully he will return in the future) we welcome Lance Cavanaugh from Great American Rugby to the mic as our new co-host. This season is sure to be a cracker and we jump right back into the excitement and, of course, the controversy that is rugby league. After a quick round-up of the headlines from the rest of the Americas, the lads give us Part II of "The Battle to Control the USARL" (or whatever it is that is happening). Our crackpot team of researchers breakdown the timeline and series of events that have led us to...well...NOW! Tune in and get all the details on the best rugby league podcast covering the Americas

#152 | Chasing for the last time

In a time when Dustin and Jim wanted to talk extensively about the great Rugby League World Cup for the USA Wheelchair and both Canada and Brazil women's teams, discuss the USA v. CAN match in Tampa, and talk South American Championship, they, unfortunately, must cover the biggest news in US Rugby League. As ridiculous as it may sound, YES, there is even MORE infighting in the States. In Part 1 of what could be a 3-part series Dustin, Jim, and Lance Cavanaugh from Great American Rugby break down and discuss the shocking news that has everyone talking. Enjoy!
