Rugby League can grow from at an organic level, especially at the street level, if the game can be quickly repurposed to fit in ANY futbol/soccer pitch. Currently rugby pitches are about 120m total while soccer pitches are 100m. This prevents soccer stadiums from quickly switching to rugby due to size and run off lanes, in addition to needing to purchase uprights. Instead, a compact variant of the game can be pushed to futbol heavy countries which would allow any group of people play Rugby League on an existing soccer field

• 80m play area with 10m in-goal area or 90m play area with 5m in-goal area designed to fix EXACTLY into a modern futbol field with some leeway for adjustment as futbol fields are not 100% standardized. Only a try line needs to be painted and the soccer field can keep its markings on the field

• Soccer 6yd box as landing zone instead of uprights for kicks means no equipment cost. Enables the game to be played in any soccer field without uprights as long as the goals can be dragged away. Changes the game slightly but the core principle of Rugby League remains. No additional cost to play Rugby League

• 10-11 player squads - easier to roster teams

• Ball can be round or oval, for very poor areas that might not have a rugby ball but have a soccer ball available

my suggestion would be to first encourage dual club seasons. Currently college is Fall 15's and Spring 7's, maybe they can squeeze league into there. USA is much less political about the union league divide. Another option would be to do league summers, but the kids would be out of school

Tried it a few days ago using a #4 soccer ball with my mates, and couldn't help but feel like the pass options were more dynamic such as behind the back and overhead paases. The kick was obviously more accurate and changed the game quite a bit.

i have to use hot keys to scroll in this subreddit. would love for this to be fixed so i can more easily share this with budding rugby league friends

Metamask announced they had a North Korean hacker found on their team and booted him. sad to hear as i used to use metamask to connect to trezor back in the day

Seems wasteful to have different set of fields and balls, not to mention the softball is much harder to hold and throw. I could easily see womens baseball being big, and maybe utilizing a larger roster to fill out the outfield and lack of throwing power.
