The Las Vegas Thread

Which LU contributor do you reckon was the interviewer?

At a guess it’s a first rate idiot. That reduces it down to one.

American's don't know the difference between Australia and Austria let alone rugby league and rugby union.

Bumper sticker for the benefit of American tourists seen in Austria :

" No, there aren`t any kangaroos in Austria "

This is presumably post Vegas when we've garnered someone's attention. Type in Rugby america and see what comes up.

Who is typing in ‘Rugby America’ after the event when we have garnered their attention? And what are they trying to find?

Well Im guessing they watched a game the perceive as being called 'rugby' and having enjoyed the vegas games decide to search for more info or viewing or even playing opportunities.

Well if they watch one or both of the games (which, by the way is a huge success) and come away from that thinking that they should search for more information about it (again, a measure of success) but type in ‘rugby America’ (rather than any of NRL, Vegas, Warriors, Sharks, Panthers, Raider or a multitude of other words that are more likely having just watched two hours of coverage of our sport headlined by Australian commentators and would lead them to sites about the event actually going on) then that would be a bad outcome.

Rugby League is bigger in Australia than any other country in the world, and yet half of the nation has no idea of the nuance between the two codes.

Those that are interested to know, know. Those that aren't interested aren't our target market anyway

 

[titoelcolombiano]

thats even more confusing considering you have rugby 7's owned by Rugby union. A number of times in countries union has tried to stop out league by claiming they are 'Rugby' so should control everything. We need to drop Rugby not League lol

No, it is part of our heritage and we have every right to use it.

I think you give people too much credit! Especially in a country that votes in leaders like they do.

Your country could do with a bit of Trump action right now to save it from completely disappearing down the toilet. Make England Great Again!

 

[titoelcolombiano]

they've already claimed it. For the last 20 years we allowed them to drop union and just use Rugby. The world now perceives 'Rugby' as Rugby union. the battle is lost, accept defeat and regroup.
And by the way we did the same thing in WW2, remember Dunkirk? Know when you're beaten, retreat, regroup and come back stronger.

What a quitter. Union is barely recognised on the world sporting landscape. You might have a point if it had reached the level of Basketball
