Broncos to Las Vegas

[Financeguy]

Why the **** are the rorters heading over anyway??
- Bunnies have Russell
- Manly have Jackman
- Broncos have the biggest fan base and following

Rorters have.... Uncle Nick's money... or is he funding the whole thing for the NRL.

I guess they can be advertised as 'Sydney' Roosters, most Americans will know or have heard of Sydney vs. something like St George, Cronulla, Canterbury, etc.

 

[Harry Sack]

Why would you waste a huge rivalry game at an overseas venue.. its not going to influence local sales..it would be like us wasting a game against cowboys there

This is a good point. I keep forgetting that this isn't an exhibition game and is part of the season.

Yeah this makes sense. Literally Brisbane vs Sydney, and then Wolverine vs The Gladiator.

Wolverine vs The Gladiator

One of those in present shape is not like the other.

Yeah I forgot the name of that movie so I googled Russell Crowe Most Famous Movie and saw the recent pics of him.

Looks like he's about to fry the TV remote because he can't bend down far enough to reach it.

The clubs have reportedly been briefed but aren't permitted to speak publicly about the fixtures.

it's being reported that these matches will be played on the smallest rugby league field ever for a professional rugby league match.

it will be 96m tryline to tryline (4m short)
and 63m sideline to sideline (5m short)

 

[Mustafur]

What an embarrassment lmao.

It’ll make ESL fields look like Accor Stadium

This should be an exhibition at best, not a premiership round.

Really, it could have been an international, or an All Stars type match. Have it 2-3 weeks before the season opener, and it would get all the best players there.

 

[Sproj]

Exactly! Has massive ramifications for the season proper. Look at St Helens in the ESL, they've struggled all year looking like they are playing catch up. I hate this with a passion.

An All Stars type game is perfect as each team is impacted then.

 

[Fozz]

Can't wait for those athletic winger tries

St Helens issue isn't the world club challenge, it's the coach change.

I hope the ref keeps them back to nine point six.

Bit disappointed with the Vegas packages TBH. They're taking the piss at 7k.
I can do the same thing myself for 3.5k it just would have been better in a larger group.

You can get there and back for ~ $1700 with Singapore, Korean, Alaskan or Canadian. Maybe less if you want to hack your fares via SYD.

Does the 7k include accommodation?

Why would anyone want to watch nrl if they go to the states? If I’m forking out for a trip to the US I’m hitting up the American sports - NFL and NBA AND SOME MLB if it’s at the right time of year.
