2024 Rabbitohs Las Vegas

[callmack1]

Vegas is a pretty big deal for the game, and the NRL are really starting to promote it so I think it deserves its own thread.

I'm actually starting to get pretty excited about Vegas now after seeing the players there promoting it and seeing some of the promo shoots of the players in their full kits today. Certainly gets ya excited!!

What a buzz it must be for Stretch to go and represent our club on the world stage, massive opportunity for him and he's doing a great job so far.

That's a pretty big deal getting them on Fox. Massive exposure. I'd love to know how many TV's across the US and across the world were tuned into that and I'd love to know how many people's interests were peaked just from that.

Rabbitohs create Allegiant Stadium replica as Vegas preparations ramp up

Souths players have been training on a specially modified field to replicate the smaller dimensions of Allegiant Stadium.

Glad to hear the club has really gone all in on the Vegas prep, on and off the field. As they should too. This is something we can't get wrong in almost every area. It has to be planned and it has to be done right.

Great stuff.
