Rugby League will never ever make a decent dent in the American sporting scene. Not in a country already saturated with NFL, NBA, Baseball and Hockey..

By all means keep coming to Vegas for Rd1 and bring in a couple English teams (or Catalan) etc. It’s a great concept. I hope to go one day (so I can infiltrate Area 51 lol) The Missus would love a few days in Vegas.

But don’t ever think rugby league (or the other code for that matter) will ever be even semi-big in the USofA!!

What don’t you guys understand that the point isn’t to make rugby league ‘big’ or ‘semi big’ or even ‘slightly big’ there. It’s to take even a tiny 1% of the market which would be massive revenue for NRL. And with the right approach it is possible.
