The #ChicagoHounds announce the signing of #MLR veteran forward and Chicago native Malcolm May for #MLR2026!
May earned 60 appearances (42 starts) with the #NOLAGold from 2019-2025 scoring 7 tries and recording over 450 tackles, but missed most of 2025 due to injury.

Pretty stacked panel for the 2025 #MLRDraft tonight!
Although it's a 'live' broadcast, the draft has likely already taken place, and this will just be a reaction.
Interesting to see Fitz there, I wonder if he'll be asked any questions about #NOLAGold withdrawing...

Now I think about it, posting this very brief statement (with no mention of the players or fans) ONLY to your website, rather than on socials were people will see it is a shitty, cowardly move.
If you're going to break fans' hearts, have a spine.

For everyone waiting for the other shoe to drop, this is from the #NOLAGold website. The Gold will not participate in #MLR2026.
In 1 day, #MLR has lost two of its founding teams.

Posted this a bit earlier than usual because of the expected announcement re: the #NOLAGold today.
Not great timing I'm afraid, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
#MLRStats #MLR #MLR2025 #NARDB
It's seemingly more and more likely that the #NOLAGold will not be competing in #MLR in 2026.
Just for once I would like a quiet, boring offseason.

Bart Vermeulen returns for the #NOLAGold, who need a win to stay in the hunt! Aidan King the other change in the pack, at 7!
De Haas is at scrumhalf, as Fidow switches wings for Julian Roberts to start at 11, and an all new center combo of Botha & Du Plessis!

Frontrunners for #MLR2025 Rookie of the Year!
2 of @anthemrugby.bsky.social's Draftees have had stellar seasons, even if 1st overall pick Erich Storti's year ended early.
Aidan King is having an excellent year in the #NOLAGold pack, and #ChicagoHounds' Peyton Wall has shot into the mix!

While the #NOLAGold are far from eliminated from #MLRPlayoffs contention, it's now impossible for the
#FreeJacks to fall below 4th in the Eastern Conference!

For a bit of context, 3 PLAYERS have racked up 168m+ in a single game in #MLR2025.
The #NOLAGold had 168m as a TEAM!
#MLRStats #MLR #Rugby
Rainy conditions created a real slugfest between the #NOLAGold & #MiamiSharks at the weekend!
Both teams recorded some of the lowest Meters Made totals in #MLR history with the Gold setting an all-time low of just 168m!
FOUR of the 5 lowest totals have now been set in #MLR2025!

#MLR2025 Penalty Count after RD12!
@houndschicago.bsky.social remain the most disciplined team in #MLR, averaging 8 penalties per game. They're the only team under 100!
@oldglorydc.bsky.social & the #NOLAGold have improved their discipline, but the #UtahWarriors are falling!
#MLRStats #Rugby
Of the #NOLAGold roster for tomorrow's match, only one of the matchday 23 is the same as their last game: Harley Wheeler at 11!
Literally every other position is different from their defeat to San Diego last week!

On Saturday, the #NOLAGold racked up 51pts to match their franchise record, scoring over 50 for the first time since 2022!
Their 51pts made them the 5th team to pass 2,500pts, also earning their 50th Try BP thanks in part to Xavier Mignot's first #MLR hat trick!
