PRE-GAME [Round 1, 2024] Roosters vs Broncos in Vegas

[ningnangnong]

Just got offered Sunday OT - couldn't say no, the money's too sweet, but I'll have to watch on delay now.

I only have myself to blame.

JESUUUUUUS.

Arthars and Mariner are not surviving this game.

Btw the field is set:

Surely they put padding down before the game ?
Insurance companies would be in cardiac arrest if they allowed an NRL field like that .

Cobbo in LA: Thanks To The LA Rams For Letting Us Use This Facility

Selwyn Cobbo is grateful for the opportunities that the Rams have provided the Broncos.

Nice to see Selwyn speaking with more confidence .
Even cracking a joke or two .
I liked the Jesse is Jesse reply LOL .

Remember the world cup in England where Morris almost dislocated his shoulder due to the drop off. I wouldn't bank on them putting padding down.

I get the feeling we won't see so many fancy corner put downs.

That is a career ending injury waiting. Since the NRL is all about gambling these days, what are the odds they didn't even look at the stadium beforehand?

This whole thing has been a total circus and personally I'm not going to put too much stock into the result this weekend one way or the other. This is far from a normal game or a normal environment (even the field is substantially different...) and which team can handle the spectacle, distractions, travel, change of circumstances etc will probably go a longer way to determining the outcome than talent on the field. I'm treating it like a standalone exhibition match and if we win then great, but if we lose then its no drama and our real season begins in 2 week's time.

Unbiased opinion: Nothing would sell the game better in the US then putting 50 on the Roosters. Also this Vegas thing sucks.

JESUUUUUUS.

Btw the field is set:

Wow! Hope they have some sort of inflatable barriers there . That’s an accident waiting to happen.

So this is why Oates wasn’t picked. To protect him from the diving tries

Landed, checked into hotel and bumped into a couple of Broncos fans. Don’t even knew them but it’s exciting to see them. Even yelled “Let’s go Bronx”.

Did see a Roosters fan in the hotel’s lobby and went up to him and told him that “ we’re taking the game this weekend and he can look forward for R8 @Suncorp.” . He’s sporty and replied back that he thinks it will be a close game but I told him “you dreaming, mate”.

Haven’t seen a Manly supporter yet but did notice few supporters whose teams are not playing this weekend(Parra, Dogs & Warriors).

A view from my room.

Well I don't have to tell you how incredible that looks!

Have the best time and stay safe!

On track to 50k seats sold before kick off.

That’s 70% of the stadiums expanded capacity and 76% of its regular capacity. In a country where the sport is only an amateur comp, that’s pretty damn good.

A lot better than the Denver test.
