Rumour mill is it's between St's, Leeds and HKR for 2026 with Leeds v Hull KR the fave with St's v HFC being penciled in for 2027. Thats if you believe the SL gossip lol

Neither Hull teams will bring any fans, if they had enough money they would have already left Hull.

As a Pom what`s your take on the pulling power of those teams and do you think that Vegas may start to draw neutrals or even fans of other codes for the event. Poms seem to be great travellers for sporting events. I`m hopeful the big union following may start to take an interest and NRL is pretty well known in union circles.

They reckon of the 10k Sl fans at Vegas this year around 2-3k where from each club and the rest neutrals. Probably about right. All 4 clubs in the hat have big fanbases so no reason to think it wont achieve the same next year, as long as the neutrals keep going.
RL is steeped in working class communities in Uk so there just isnt the disposable income many Australians enjoy. Any of the 4 clubs in the hat would take 15-20k+ to Wembley or Old Trafford.
