The Las Vegas Thread

Australia v NZ then for next year.

I don’t think this is doing the English girls much good at this point. Hopefully it inspires them to work towards revenge, like the Allan Border era cricketers.
But I’m not sure the Women's ESL has the professional setup required to compete with NRLW as yet.

I know you are as thick as sht there are four tv markets that need to be catered today

America is probably the last one

You’d be the first person to cry if the American tv ratings are under 100k

The NRL isn't fussed about the SL TV deal.

And they certainly aren't suddenly busting a gut to ensure NZ is looked after.

Pvl literally quoted yesterday about working with super league to help grow their game

FMD you are a hoot

Been speaking to a pom at the game about just how far off the English women are vs the Aus/NZ players in terms of professionalism. The decision to play these two teams was a shocker. I'd exclude the women's game next year (3 games is pushing it as it is), but it must be Aus/NZ if this isn't an option.

English team should be renamed the Gammonettes, there’s definitely a fair bit of fresh gammon there

I agree, I think the women's game should be dropped along with the super league game and replaced with the WCC. It's just to painful to watch and Warrington weren't much better.

Isn't the problem with that scheduling? As in you won't know until October if your team is involved?

Finally a sensible point from you, well done

The problem with the WCC is that if Australian teams start taking it seriously then they'll run up a score against the English teams.

Play it as the Vegas 9s opener then.

Yes that is a problem, maybe it should be left with just two NRL games and hopefully leave the fans wanting more.

The TV figures from the womens game will be interesting. Surely lots of people have turned off when the score blew out. It's a horrible lead into the main Penrith/Cronulla game.

Doesn’t really matter this is all extra content which wasn’t on last year

The two extra games this year should give Aussie tv ratings a boost of probably 1 to 1.25 million

When last year the two games got around 2.3 million in Australia

It’s literally 8 hours of rugby league content

Hey this is only my 4th!

There was the Kangaroos Swinton Massacre, this is the Jillaroos Vegas Massacre. Both against the Pommies. Absolutely clinical execution.

 

[baggygreen man]

Tarryn Aitken must have created at least 10 of the 17 tries. A class act.

So whoever it is in the next few years at least we know it won't be the English women's test team.

Yeesh.
