The Las Vegas Thread

Nice to see Peter Fitzsimmons is still bah humbugging the LV weekend.

I was in the city last night.

I saw a bloke with a waratahs shirt on heading to the game. I didn't even know it was on last night.

Apprantley the rugby started back 2 weeks ago but who would have known no one has even mentioned it in the media

NFL scouts have been going nuts about Ricky. They are always looking for the dream quarterback. And they heard that Ricky can never be sacked.

This fitness influencer with 14m followers on instagram just made a few stories about Vegas, rugby league and Wigan, and apparently going to the game.

I was hoping the nrl got hold of a bunch of influencers to go to the game, will be interesting to see if that pans out tomorrow.

Hopefully they pay their player's wages next time.

Hopefully they wont have a world wide pandemic to contend with.

And yet we’re the biggest rugby club out of all of the americas

NRL's Vegas project shows no sign of slowing down - but what's the end goal?

The NRL returns to Vegas for year two, and while it's a great opportunity for travelling fans to book a holiday, rugby league isn't cutting thorugh to locals. And that means experiment has a shelf life, writes Matt Bungard.

Says the event is growing then still says it will get pulled

Wonder where they got that dope from

I think Vegas will continue as a magic round-esque experience for fans, starting the nrl season with a bang, and growing the game in the US is a nice byproduct. As we know, and the nrl know, there needs to be more than just this event to meaningfully grow the game in the US and internationally.

But it sure is a great springboard to do that.

if anything it will give the nrl more courage to try further innovation ideas with spreading the game.
