The Las Vegas Thread

Definitely need to play a women's game. It is the growth area of league.

Who are the other 3 though? C’mon Chammas spill

I never thought they might drip feed us the team names, great idea if they do, increases the suspense.

I’d say it either gets shit-canned or they try and get it in Australia 2 weeks before Vegas.

Could be a chance to try it week before Vegas elsewhere in the US or Canada.

Here's the text of that article -

Good article, thanks for posting.

Some great numbers there but in regards to the 61k TV audience you can spin it 3 ways of Sunday but the reality is the NRL will need games shown weekly with 500k viewer's to be able to get a US TV deal of any significance.

I assume the bluster about the game being showed weekly on FS1 this season, died in the arse?

An NRLW match in Vegas almost certainly wouldn't be commercially viable at the moment. It'd significantly increase costs and it's highly unlikely that it'd make a return large enough to be worth the risk.

I also think it's highly unlikely that Fox Sports 1 would be willing to dedicate such a large block to a niche sport, and, rightly or wrongly, I imagine that they'd be particularly wary about broadcasting the women's version of a tiny niche sport.

The NRL just needs to relax and build on this year, not get excited and risk overextending themselves. They should try to avoid expanding the program or adding events until they have undeniable local demand for more content, which will take time, if it happens at all.

Maybe they are trying to capture more of the female market and present themselves as a modern inclusive sport

is lingerie football league vs nrlw

My mate in Kentucky is still getting matches though not on the Easter weekend for some reason.
He got Penrith - Broncos & Dragons - Cowboys this weekend though… I guess to compensate for no game next weekend???

According to news reports on the radio this morning, the ARLC is meeting on Wednesday where they will be considering which teams will be playing in Vegas in 2025.

 

[kdalymc]

Theyre considering a few teams including dolphins and warriors.
Yeah let's confuse the Americans even more by sending a team from "The" or "new zealand"... ffs
As if the name of our sport wasn't dumb enough...

99.9% of people aren't as dumb as you.

Tigers definitely dead cert for a Vegas berth in 2025…

Coaches box blonde to reel in the American viewers…

 

[Iamback]

Well if the people's team are in fact going to Vegas....

I guess we play the WCC there as well the week before?

 

[docbrown]

Sounds to me like the triple header is to get into that East Coast prime time slot. Wish I'd thought of it...
