Its amazing to see so many different jerseys from teams that arent playing in these games. Even old teams like Balmain, Norths, Newtown, I mightve seen an Illawarra jersey in the streets of Vegas.

Its incredible, like another magic round. The built up to this was amazing and there's been non stop media coverage its just amazing.

We opened the competition in 1999 with a over 100,000 at the new Stadium Australia. The event was incredible, the atmosphere was great, however the game still had some scars

This Vegas event is possibly bigger, our game is such better than 1999, we're looking at expanding to 18 then 20 teams.

Who wouldve thought years ago, even the Greenberg and Gallop days that the NRL will play matches in Las Vegas and get over 40,000. Even the pioneers of the game like Giltanan and Messanger are probably looking down saying "Wow look at this."

I honestly cannot wait.

I noticed a kid on the fan day holding up a sign saying " I come over from France for a photo with Latrell please "

Him and his dad were wearing Roosters jerseys though

NRL must be shown in France because a few Top 14 players have said they watch it.

French national jerseys look very similar to Easts'.

Totally feeling this post. I can remember fearing League was dying..
Today is the greatest day we've ever had.

Watch the NRL Las Vegas field come to life

The field at Allegiant Stadium comes to life with the NRL Las Vegas matches just around the corner

All of California seems to be a shithole from what I hear of it

SoCal (besides San Diego) most definetley is, up around San Fran and further north is great. SD is a fun city though, completely different to LA.

LA is in all honesty one of the worst cities I have frequented for work. It's just a big sprawling mess of smog and traffic. The "CBD" if you can even call it that, is smaller than Adelaide's.

What do you do for work mate? I am pretty much in agreement although I would say I was unimpressed with San Fran too.

Hugh Jackman has pulled out of attending the game at the last minute. Such disappointment.

With all this positive Vegas-fest it goes to show, that Rugby League is such a great product, but was run by many incompetent people for many decades

There's a lot of empty seats in that sell-out crowd...
They must be out back queueing for a pie or buying doubles.

Let's hope the weather doesn't keep people away, they've cancelled the tail gate party due to weather.

Canards rain dance is working a treat.

Hugh Jackman has pulled out.

This is all going to sh#t
