    PNG's back.

    Its a $30bil legal economy. I reckon there is $10mil floating around for an NRL team.

    PNG's back.

    I really hope PNG actually gets off the ground! There is enough money locally to keep a club running and it would be a huge thing for the local economy. The plan should be to set up a resort for the players and use the club as a tourism ad. Aus players could probably get a schedule to split...

    2024 Crowd Watch

    I would agree, but not just a Steelers jumper… The Steelers were only around for 16 years and we are coming up on 25 since the merge. The only people that would do anything for are old f@@kers like me, and I would be going to the game anyway if I still lived in the area. Dragons do need to do...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    It doesnt need to be the biggest event, it just needs to generate a positive value that is big enough to be split pay the NRL and keep some for the city. so $50-150mil of activity generated for a $5mil payment. Is it worth it? That is for the city tourism board to decide…

    The Las Vegas Thread

    There is this amazing thing called capitalism that lets us compare the value of things no matter what they are…. you are right that a superstar filling the stadium 4 nights in a row would be great, so obviously the singer would would charge a lot. NRL meanwhile can bring a smaller amount to...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    ^^^^ I love that we have broken the “NRL cant happen in the US” barrier for it to be immediately replaced with “NRL could only work in the US if it is in LasVegas”… If you could guarentee 20k tourists spending +$50mil in the city economy and all you need to spend is $10-15mil to host the game...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    How many events are their In vegas every year? Do you think the reason they are getting that $60bil is maybe because they are continuously looking for events to draw people to the city? and maybe an event that can bring $50mil to the city might be a good addition…. or is it just lucky? Haha, ok

    The Las Vegas Thread

    What a dumb response…. The reason they get 40mil visitors is because they do events like this 1000 times a year. The events obviously need to make economic sense, but Australian cash is still good in the US. If they started saying “no need to look for new events, we already get 40mil visitors...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    I figured Las Vegas paid, but I only just did a calculation to estimate the tourism value. Im guessing $100mil total value would be about right and about half would go to the city (the other half to flights, etc) That is much bigger than I would have guessed. I wondering (assuming interest...

    I think C9 has done more to drive fans away from the game than even SuperLeague managed to do. I stopped watching C9 (outside of Origin and finals) back in 2012 when the tv rights were renewed. Last weeks LV game was my first time back watching C9 for a regular season game in 12 years. they...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    That is actually a really clever way to look at it; we are not trying to sell RL to new fans (in the short term), we are actually selling RL fan attention to tourism groups. ABS reckons the average overseas tip costs an Australian $5k. So directly we might assume that this LV event generated...

    I totally agree. Fox might underpay, but their promotion is great. C9 meanwhile do everything to make the audience depressed and bored
