I stand by my comment, the 9's is a far better way to measure a players potential than the combine. I never said it would be played in front of 90 thousand rampant fans, anyone familiar with League in America would know it was going to played in front of 2 blokes and a dog. Heck, even the professional Union comp rarely gets over 1k to a game or more than 20 viewers watching the live stream.

There were actually a few thousand there and if you follow Rugby League in America on social media you'll see the players and "15 people in the crowd" had an incredible day.

It is the local media when these teams return home that will get them publicity.

That will flow on to sponsors or owners to flog off the new local comp planned.

Americans are stupid and will never buy into the sport. We can't even stop them calling it 'Rugby'.

The genocide apologist is back!

.......Okay, this is a call to anybody who can help me with the NRL combine in Vegas. My wife and myself are here and are keen to checkout the combine on Saturday. Things is the times state that it goes from 8am through 5pm covering both the men and women, but we are only looking to watch the men's try outs. So does anyone have any idea on who goes first, the men or the woman .

It looks really narrow. Maybe the pic is deceiving, but if it's that narrow defences will just compress.

Apparently it's 5 metres narrower than a RL pitch. Compressed defences alright, could limit points.

I hear they are putting pikes and a snake Pitt around the field, if you go into touch you'll never be seen again.

Game plan was revealed last night to play up the middle with little room on the edges

You'd have to be a brave winger running down the side line, cover defence coming from your right and a slab of cement on your left.

Canard, maybe all your wishes will come true and they'll call the game off ?

Finally the bears have found a home.

I think this is a perfect place for the Bears to end up.

How ‘in’ would Morris be on a pitch like that?

You're aware that photo is before the field is fully rolled in and locked into place right?

Will the perfect field conditions offset the narrow width?

A high tempo game with ruck infringements punished should create the fatigue to allow an attacking game.
