AFL.. has 0 in common with Rugby league.
China... has 0 in common with USA

but apparently draws direct reference to the NRL in Vegas...🙄
yeh an australian sport holding one off game in foreign countries to claim its to grow interest in the sport is nothing alike.

like i said a junket for nsw racing ceo paid for by nrl.

Things in common:

Rugby league also uses a ball.

USA is also a country .

You're a potato.

you forgot
no interest in the sport
no hope of growing the interest in the game using one off events
sht idea

also things they have in common

AFL thought it might generate corporate revenue, it didnt
Vlad thinks it will generate gambling revenue, it wont

But hey he might spot some college football talent whilst over there to bring over, cap exempt lol

Let's see : I have to weigh up who would know best hmmm the head of NRL and nsw racing... or internet guy called Perth Red?
I'm going to go with P' V’landys but only because he doesn't end every sentence in " lol" like a 13 year old school girl 👍

So how would the scheduling for an event like this work?

Vegas is currently 17 hours behind the East Coast.

Are they going to play the game at midnight local time to cater for TV?

So if the nrl do generate gambling out of this you will admit your mistake

If it’s any significant and sustained amount sure.

Not that I think gambling is a particularly ethical way to be focusing growing a sports revenue, but that’s what you get when you put a racing guy in charge.

Not that you would know but he’s already increased it close to 8 million pa with the higher rate for games like origin and the grand final

it’s one of the reasons he was appointed is what he did for nsw racing

Because of this timezone, TV will kill this concept dead before it even begins.
Whoosh

anyway there are loads of possible times for someone that spends five minutes thinking about it

but yeh nobody from the nrl has considered the time zones except you

Is 7pm Vegas is midday Sydney? That right?
Yep.

So you could play the game at 7pm and have it on at Lunchtime here, but what about the other game? Start it at 9.30pm Vegas time??

Run me through the great gamut of kick off times that would work for TV?

Point is it needs two, its a double header lol.
Now I dont think a one off where a game is beamed to Aus at 10am is going to kill Fox so Id see it being a 10am & 12pm KO DH in Aus which would be 5pm and 7pm over there for KO.
The odds of it happening are about as good as winning at the casino next door so probably a pointless discussion.

Since it’s in america copy top gun maverick where they are playing football on the beach and both teams are doing attack and defence

we can have four teams at once playing two games simultaneously
