I think we did put the hand up. PVL said every team will have to go over the next 5 years. I doubt it makes past year 2. I've done vegas 10 plus times with work. Its a shithole. That said us playing there would interest me. The last 4 times I haven't left my hotel there it is that cooked.

Gee Easts got a seat of the first bus, who'da thought that would happen.

Must of been one of those NRL geographical decisions again.

Don’t be so cynical Quigs.

I’m sure Mr Rugba League did the fair thing and drew the teams randomly out of a brown paper bag witnessed by Nick Politis…..

Doesn't matter really. By kickoff time in Vegas the country will probably be at Civil War.

Remember there is only 880 million guns in the joint.

shows where the power brokers are.

We have a side potentially going 3 in a row and we are marketing the game and they don't get the call up?

Uncle Nick:
If you pull out a big fat roll of $100 dollar bills, then Roosters get to go.
If you pull out a single $5 note, then you get to choose, Peter.
Away you go…

Peter:
Aaawwhhh, thanks, Uncle Nick!!!

Pretty much all being funded by Tourism USA / Nevada. Australians are a Top 5 market for Vegas visitors but they only ever stay for 3 days on average. If that goes up to 4 or 5 days, the NRL game pays for itself tenfold.

Pays for itself to who. Tenfold is 29 Billion! Hope the NRL gets a pie with sauce out of it

Edited the incorrect maths then re edited as the original was correct

Anyway, tenfold is a shitload of money for someone.

I hate maths

It’s all to do with the nrl getting the nrl betting into the US. A small % cut can add up to a shit ton.
UAE is all about sponsorship money that’s why we are pushing for that.

Is Rugby League still illegal in Dubai?

Also that 2 billion figure has to be a misprint. All other reports are quoting $200 million.
