The Las Vegas Thread

[Growthegame]

I don’t actually hate the idea. Levels up the playing field and gives every team a chance to experience it. f**k playing in Dubai though

Pretty sure that would be illegal by Dubai laws. We would be allowed to use the word “Rugby” at all.

I’d say this was just a pipe dream and impossible. But V’Landys & Abdo have proved me wrong before…

Anything is possible with PVL and Abdo.

His mindset is, hey if other sports are attempting to try it, we'll go one better.

I think launching in one city is the way to go.

But this global initiative is a nice little FU to the RU once again. So it warms my heart.

Just like r360, i want to see my details about it. If this goes ahead, i'd like to see:

Two games in Vegas
Two in Hawaii
Three in London/ England
Two in south of France

Also maybe Super League clubs could launch their season in Australia, New Zealand and Vegas.

I would’ve thought a super league game at each (or some of the NRL global locations. They only have 7 games to plan compared to our 9

Overkill and will dilute Vegas

Fans can’t afford to go away each year

That’s why the emphasis should be on filling the venues with locals.

 

[jolly boys outing]

Open the 2027 season in Europe.

3 games in London at either Wembley or preferably spurs.

3 games in Amsterdam.

3 games in Paris or Marseille.

I suspect this is just Pvls answer to r360 since neither of these things will actually happen

But it will get the game good publicity

Take one of them to London or any of the venues listed as a one off instead of Vegas is doable

Focus should be on Vegas it would be so rugby league to give up mid way through and then union would come in and take advantage

Taking a round to the south of France now that could work

I bet most people thought Vegas wouldn't happen and yet here we are. Never underestimate PVL.

My only concern is that I hope they don't play it in huge stadiums that we won't fill. Choose appropriate sized stadiums.

I’d like to see the NRL do something in France longer term.

start with NRL pre-season trials to test the water and then MOve onto regular season NRL games and then invest in domestic French clubs/league competition.

Could easily run UK venue with superleague teams there. Southern french ground with Catalans and Toulouse in matches too.
