A great idea and a perfect time of the year for the Storm to have a working holiday....
I'd like to see a team travel and play against the Hawks every season. A Super/League team after the Storm and vica-versa in order to help lift the profile of rugby league in the States.
Souths & Leeds gathered a pretty good crowd when they had an exhibition game in Florida..??? (I think), who knows where it could lead to, it only takes one rich Yank to jump on board and R/L could be a hit over there and eventually turn pro instead of the small numbers they have now...

football or as other people around the world call it ( soccer ) took off in the states so why not rugby league

I think the Yanks might feel league as a threat to gridiron...
The few Americans I have met love the game of league, but are not interested in the rules just the hard hits in defence, they think the players are mad with little or no padding and no helmets...(softies)
