Just posted this in another thread about the game.

Just watched the replay on the BBC app, and the coverage lasted about 20-25 minutes after the game. The host was so impressed by Nathan Cleary going around and doing selfies and signing jersies for the crowd; mentioned it at least twice (including the last thing he said to camera) before signing off. ‘This is the best player in the world, he must be gutted to have lost that way but he is still out here making time for the crowd’. He was in awe.

The NRL told clubs it was supportive of the World Club Challenge concept and that it wanted to ensure that all future matches were played in England given its significance to English fans.

The NRL is intent on supporting the concept to the point they are making contingency plans around next year’s Las Vegas season opener.
If the team that wins the 2024 NRL premiership is one of the four teams scheduled to play in America next year, they will travel to United Kingdom first as part of a three- to four-week tour.
Super League clubs Warrington and Wigan have also expressed interest in being part of the Las Vegas plans next year.
