Lee is joined by the GODFATHER of modern rugby league in the USA David Niu, ex Warriors, Panthers, Raiders and Bulls head coach Matthew Elliott, ex Leeds Rhino Marcus Vassilakopoulos and ex Tomahawk Robert Balachandran.

They discuss the formative years of modern rugby league in the USA - a journey that ended with qualification for and then 'shocking the world' at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.

Things have not been completley stable in the USA scene since that era and the guys open up about this over the two parts that this interview will be aired.

This week - it's part one.
