The Las Vegas Thread

It's obviously different if you're brought up on it.. don't be a hater, it's just a different thing- completely different, so don't judge it from a Rugby league perspective, it will never live up to that.
Watch the SB on Monday with this perspective: they have 1 job.. say a wide receiver right, he doesn't need stamina, strength, power , doesn't need to learn how to pass or tackle.. So what are you left with? Literally the fastest and most agile man possible! Out of 340 million people he'll be in the fastest they can find and he'll only train to do that- PURE EXPLOSIVE SPEED, a Ferrari with just enough gas for the quarter mile! His defenders the same! 2 Ferrari's doing battle!
Take that concept across the park for 1 play. .. now coordinate all those guys together to create a military like operation to gain territory- the defence has to shut it down...

It's a completely different thing!
I wouldn't pay what they do of course but those seats are bought by people who consider it pocket change.

I much prefer Rugby League but I don't mind watching the Ferrari's.

Ferrari? More like a Mini Minor

I think physically, an NFL player could play our game. They’d just get tired by the 2 minute mark.

Most nfl players look so overweight, I'm surprised they even last 2 min lol.

You've developed a hatred for something you've never bothered to understand.
Sums up all that is wrong with society.

I've watched it several times and tried to like it, but the constant stoppages just bored me to tears

I remember Wayne Bennett describing NFL players as incredible athletes, as big as Glenn Lazarus and as agile as Allan Langer.

I think they'd manage.

Thats Rustys best work since Gladiator. Any sport fan that gets eyes on that would have to have their interest piqued.

Russell Crowe has such a sexy voice, love listening to him talk.

He'd be either too invested and passionate, or too hard on them, better to have him commentate a game without the bunnies, Roosters vs broncos would be funny, book of fueds opens up, see these broncos are great, but these other guys are a bunch of cheats, look at them being so smug etc

Extending the Vegas impact.

What if...

The club's play two rounds in the USA before returning to Australia.

For instance, round 1 is the double header in Vegas, the big event at Allegiant however for the week after they swap opponents and play stand alone games in other strategic cities.

For instance (just random choice of teams)

Round 1: Vegas NRL event - double header.

Panthers v Melbourne
Warriors v Titans

Round 2

Panthers v Titans - Los Angeles
Warriors v Melbourne - Salt Lake City

This could ensure the fans that fly in, spread the love and get to two cities. Additionally, the costs of flights are not doubled, arguably only five / six nights more before they fly home.

I think it dilutes what it is at it's current state. The main thing working in our advantage is scarcity. 1 event once a year.
We need to see how it plays out over the 5 years.
