Better late than never, the #MiamiSharks finally break their silence. Another poorly kept secret, they are out of #MLR2026.
It sounds like they aren't closing the door on returning in some form in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath right now.
#MLRStats #MLR #Rugby
California and Florida with the highest number of prospects in the 2025 #MLRDraft.
California’s 2 #MLR teams have merged into just the one, and Florida’s pro team (the #MiamiSharks) have withdrawn.
Hmm…
#MLRStats #MLR2026 #Rugby
I made a video re: What we know about the #MiamiSharks withdrawal (not much), the 2025 #MLRDraft, #MLR2026 Season Structure, and how #MLR can use this to their advantage!
Give it a watch below:
#MLRStats #NARDB
#MiamiSharks CEO was named #MLR Executive of the Year just a couple of days ago. Now, the Sharks have withdrawn.
I find it hard to believe that the CEO wasn’t aware that the Sharks wouldn’t compete when this award was handed out.
#MLRStats #MLR2026
Imagine making a video on NOLA's withdrawal and the
California merger right before confirmation of the
#MIamiSharks withdrawal came out!
Here's my video on exactly that🤦♂️. Update for Miami coming soon, once we know a little more.

This new award definitely seems like a 'Please Stay!' Award from #MLR, given the rumous about the #MiamiSharks. No-one looks great if Miami pull out now that this is announced...
BUT...Milagros Cubelli IS excellent, and if this keeps them around for #MLR2026, I'm for it!
#MLRStats #MLR2025 #Rugby

A male rugby player in a blue and green uniform dives for a try, holding the ball with both hands and sticking out his tongue in a moment of exhilaration. Behind him, spectators are blurred in the stands, and in the foreground, large white numbers display the final score: 42 for the Seawolves Rugby and 17 for the opposing team, represented by a shark logo. The top right corner shows "WEEK 17 MLR" and the bottom reads "MATCHES STREAMING ON ESPN+".
42-17 is a SCORIGAMI. #rugby #mlr @seawolves.rugby #MiamiSharks

Unclear if this is a permanent move or just a loan for the remainder of #MLR2025, and if this was completed prior to the trade/signing deadline, or if Negrete has been brought in as injury cover
Maybe we'll see something on the #MLR Trade Wire soon?
#MLRStats #MiamiSharks #MLR #Trade
Yesterday, the #MiamiSharks announced the addition of #MLR draftee Jake Negrete from the #HoustonSaberCats!
