The Las Vegas Thread

[Generalzod]

No I didn’t watch actually. But thanks for telling me I did. And did I know Vlandys and the nrl paid for journalists to attend? No. Why? Because I dont care. And I gamble on sport. It’s fun. If you don’t go you. Vlandys is taking the game to new levels. So are you. Of whinging.

No just bringing up another point of view, how you spend your money is your business. But saying that gambling addiction is amajor problem in our society.

Sure. Wanker.

Why did you call me a wanker, because I have different point of view... Grow up...

 

[Generalzod]

What’s it with moralistic turd suckers here condemning others life choices?

Who stopped you from gambling.

I called you a wanker because you are a judgemental sanctimonious turd. I hope that helps.

The gambling stopper

No I wasn't, you the one that called me a wanker and you think I'm judgemental..

 

[Vlad59]

No I wasn't, you the one that called me a wanker and you think I'm judgemental..

Nup. I think you are a judgemental wanker because you are. I hope that helps.

The gambling stopper

Didn't say to stop gambling.

 

[Generalzod]

Nup. I think you are a judgemental wanker because you are. I hope that helps.

Delusional...

 

[Vlad59]

Delusional...

You might need to stop being a sanctimonious know all judgemental wanker and move on. I hope that helps.

 

[Vlad59]

Didn't say to stop gambling.

Did suggest you judge others against a set of self serving nonsense. Live and let live wanker. I hope that helps.

You watched...The fact that he has a point I didn't realise that the NRL had paid for the likes of the SMH/2GB Triple M to attend the event...Did you guy's know this...I rather spend my money on a meal than spend it on gambling on Sport.

It was a point well made, that you didn't see one negative article from all those reporters.

Aflbc jealous rugby league is in the spotlight

“The NRL is making some progress with its quest to secure a free-to-air TV deal in the US. We told you last week how important it is, but it can only be done if Lachlan Murdoch gives it the green light, as Fox in America is already giving support and air time to the NRL.”

Mitchell, Walker embarrass weak NRL in Mam racism case

The NRL has been left looking limp with Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker seen to be pressuring decision makers during the Spencer Leniu-Ezra Mam racial abuse case.

@Hey Siri set reminder for 10 months time.

Is a 10 team, 260 fully professional player comp up and running in the US?

So, you are comparing cities of 2.5m - 5m to a country of 330m? Sounds fair.

Anyway, those ratings, like Storm, are horrible. Not sure that should be used as a baseline.

Lions and Swans in their own city v NRL in USA? Those odds are weighted in favour of the AFL teams and the NRL still came out in front

"We need Rugba League to be strong in England and if they need help we'll certainly assist"

Music to my ears St Peter. So happy that the international game is on his mind

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Sorry still backing pvl

maybe when you have ten years as a ceo in the industry I’ll listen lmao

pretty funny you opened an alt account just to argue this point

Just speculating here but this is probably what the talk of buying Superleague and starting a US League was all about. More content, more time zones (including local US matches) and games in all three leagues carrying the NRL brand

 

[titoelcolombiano]

remember U2, star power, UFC, boxing? A lot of sht has been said about this whole thing, which is quite fitting for Vegas really lol

To be fair, the NRL did partner with the UFC and put out heaps of promo with UFC fighters which is great advertising to what would be our target market over there. And they did work closely with Tim Tszyu

 

[titoelcolombiano]

It was a point well made, that you didn't see one negative article from all those reporters.

That was the point of flying the journos over though. Positive publicity, no negative stories, no whinging, no 9 v Fox. It was paid advertising. I'm ok with it. They wanted maximum positive attention on the event.

Telegraph is reporting that 1,749 new WatchNRL accounts have been created in the US since the Vegas Double Header.

Whilst nothing like the numbers PVL is aiming for, that equates to roughly 400K worth of revenue at the AUD229 price point.

These are meant to be in addition to the 3,000-odd subscribers previously published that regularly sign up for Watch NRL in the US.
