That's a bit silly, half a gazillion maybe...a cajillion all day long.

Silly or not, it's got the potential to reach a sextillion

35 = PR whinges
35 to 45 = PR whinges
45 to 55 = PR whinges
55 to sold out = PR whinges and deflects.

In regards to PR, and others on the opposite side of the totem pole
the actual magic figure is 45,814
That's how many turned up to the double header in Perth this year.
Get under that figure and PR will be within his rights to gloat that Perth got more than Vegas
However if the crowd goes over that number, the others will be saying that Perth don't deserve a team because they can't even beat a crowd figure where Rugby League isn't played.
Once again, the magic figure

45,814​

As part of events during the NRL's Vegas venture, the codes are also expected to hold open trials for former NFL and college players looking to switch codes.

All 17 club bosses are expected to fly to the US to watch up to 60 male and female athletes are expected to attend."

Vegas... pretty sure you'll be able to play poker... you might even find a slot-machine..

Lol they have poker machines everywhere in Vegas, Including the airport, this is not poker poker lol, this is the world poker tournament it only happens once or twice a year, with 10k participants. Last time I was in Vegas I missed out, had to return for work, oh blimey...

how can the NRL ever compete with this....

 

[Valheru]

You know, our day games Saturday and Sunday are prime time Friday and Saturday nights in the USA...
Live on fox sports when the NFL season is over... imagine people in the USA at bars around the country going " what's this?"
Rugby league is about to go nuclear

That's not true

3PM Saturday and 2PM Sunday games in Australia after daylight savings finishes is 1AM and midnight respectively on east coast of America. It is 10PM and 9PM on the west coast.

Not much point comparing the time now when the season is played when we aren't in daylight savings and they are, so the time difference is only 17 hrs.

An off leash dog park, that's barely bigger than a soccer field. The NRL must be so disappointed that they were forced to play at Allegiant Stadium.

 

[Dark Corner]

It’s year one of a five year venture and I expect a lot of teething issues but when you consider it’s well into the off season and almost Christmas yet our game is still getting a ton of media attention and things are going better than expected, it’s already a ‘pass the Kleenex’ for me.

Might end up like the NFL games in London and Germany.

@Perth Red

Good to see they are factoring in the women. That has a lot of potential of bringing in a lot of good athletes.

Given the way they pay marks in fumbleball I think they reported he actually caught the tree
