    USA 2024

    That list is a thing of beauty! Its certainly not a fluke that this list coincides with the IRL reforms and NRL in Vegas. NRL Vegas gave the 'why' and IRL reforms gave them the 'how'. It looks like all parties are learning to work together for the greater good. And yes, you would think that RLU...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    yep, agreed. so simple but so effective. rather than us only being able to get over there once a year...lets bring them to us multiple times. Id push for magic round, origin and GF. then come next year in vegas there will be some content thats fresher in the memory than Vegas from the year before.

    The Las Vegas Thread

    Agree with everything you've said regarding pilgrimage, and taking our time to grow, and introducing women's game, etc. My only concern is for 3 games in a day, it tends to turn into a coming-and-going affair where people leave their seats for a while similar to what you see at Magic Round. Then...

    Who's in Las Vegas 2025

    calm down and re-read my post, I never said they did the Haka…and I didn’t confuse national teams. i said some US locals would confuse them when they see the words NZ and rugby together. Most US fans only knowledge of those two words is the image of the haka.

    Who's in Las Vegas 2025

    S-tier brisbane (largest aus supporter base, city name recognition) NZ (attract the most US based interest due to Polynesian residents, plus lots of locals will mistake them with all blacks…don’t underestimate the power of the Haka) melb (prob largest latent supporter size outside of warriors...

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/national-rugby-league-kick-off-season-american-soil-first-time-las-vegas-fs1 this is why I will always despise rugby union. Hijacking a league event like this with local teams. Imagine if league did this…would be laughed at by union and afl fans. its also why...

    New 2025 USA pro league

    Chasing Roos and RL in America Podcast are fairly balanced and in the know. Those who have followed along with RL in the USA (apart from the 2 games in Vegas), will know the amount of bluster and empty talk promised by the recent NARL. Apparently, there was also no real dialogue with the...

    Can’t find the article, but read yesterday that the two brothers from human nature are doing Aussie anthem, and someone else will be doing the US anthem. There will also be a US airforce flyover. two Aussie DJs are playing between the games. and just saw this on Nrl website: The Official Rugby...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    1. Probably shows the benefits of BBC. 2. Last year's would have been a bad timeslot due to it being played in Australia.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    yeah, it’s an interesting scenario isn’t it? Organisers know the team will fold at end of season no doubt, but need to keep them playing in order to fulfil media contracts, so keep it under wraps. Yet everyone kinda knows anyway…so why go support them. as someone who went through the Adelaide...

    I posted a massive reply the other day and for some reason it didn't send and i lost it, but much of it echoed yak's comments on previous and existing teams. The amount of movement of teams was somewhat due to the fracture at the governing level, with a bit of fallout. Its ironic that USARL...

    agreed. definitely the makings of some state-based/localised competitions to make it more sustainable.

    so good to see most teams striving for unity! not sure if Laie have done anything much League related, mainly union I believe. Hawaii probably needs its own 2-4 team league due to travel/distance. Possibly 2-3 from Oahu (east near Honolulu, north near Kailua, west near Mililani/Kapolei with its...

    thanks for the updates Yak, I keep coming on here to post them...but you've beaten me to it the past week ;) I agree with the positivity of the local US game currently. I'm now sold out on the NRL jaunt to Vegas as successful for the USA domestic game regardless of what those two matches are...

    And Hawaii too. With no pro teams and large Polynesian population, and closer proximity to Australia….i think it can be a great outpost for RL. Oahu has just over 1mil residents.
