The Las Vegas Thread

How was the experience ?

As good as league is they also need money which the nrl has to make stuff happen but even then it’s going to be a very long term project

You’re right about the Wolfpack what they did was amazing

I was gutted when super league effectively killed them off by giving them zero tv money but gave the team that replaced them (Leigh) one million pounds

I shouldn’t laugh but the bit about them switching off thinking it was union is funny but does highlight the education issues

It was amazing , Las Vegas was flooded with Aussies, poms, and Kiwis......also stunned by the amount of Jamaican people there who went to the game. The stadium is incredible......out of this world. The acoustics are amazing, and the atmosphere there this year with 10,000 singing poms in the mix would certainly be something. We are going back again when the Bulldogs play there, hopefully it's against the eels

Dogs are trying to go next year
Story says it’s v the dragons

Imagine a hull derby there

Aussie fans would go nuts even if it was just 10k of them

Definitely. They're an example that proves that it's only a matter of getting people's eyes on the game for it to take off internationally. Getting those eyes there in the first place is the problem. When I was in the USA last year after watching the Vegas games, we made a point of bringing the games up with the locals we met. The few we met who happened to see it on TV all said they switched it straight off, and when I asked them why, all the reasons they gave invariably related to confusing it with Rugby Union.
