Fantastic that this game is attracting pilgrims from Australia and England. Awesome that it has the potential to rate highly in England.

However, the aim of the venture is to make headway into the American market. If you're not achieving that goal you might as well play it in Bethlehem if you want a pilgrimage.

well if you're going to say biggest 'EVER' then going for the highest data point (which these aren't by the way) makes total sense doesnt it?
Rather than being so touchy about it you might see the benefit of the Vegas game getting sky more interested in English super league again and putting the contract back up to 40 million pa

Pvl should be getting a cut of that by helping the English game so much

Just having English clubs being more involved with nrl clubs is going to have positive effects

Agree but I think this initiative has multiple objectives. Even putting aside any growth of the game in the US even if just gambling dollars, it really boosts the local attention of the game in Australia and soon also NZ and England. Massive tv eye balls, press interest, it really carried some momentum and took some focus off rivals.

That is the aim but the comp looks less Bush League with a larger crowd and Vegas will give NRL a better deal next time if crowds are higher and they spend more
