NRL NRL in the United States

[The Warrior Waka]

No such thing as defense in Superleague? Lol. Not a good advertisement for our game.

Pathetic defense by Warrington. Shameful display when we're trying to impress the yanks.

 

[Akkerz]

Thanks for the updates

 

[Matiunz]

AK looking dangerous for Wigan- would have liked to have kept him

 

[Playdaball]

We need a centre

We need a centre

Couple of wingers with speed would be handy

 

[Ever Hopeful]

3 games, 3 one-sided thumpings. Is this why games are so managed in the NRL!

Let's hope that Penrith v Sharks makes a game out of it.

Prospect of 4 relatively shithouse games of rugby league, which will not be making the Head Honchos in the NFL, NBA or NHL shit themselves.
Which teams have the worst excuse? The Warriors can always use the "we're trying to figure out a new way now Shaun's gone and anyway it's Round 1" excuse, whoever loses between the Sharks and Panthers can use the "It's Round 1" excuse, not sure the ESL or international teams....

What's the point of playing a game where the result is 90-4.

Poor match making there.

Maybe still a bit grumpy about the Warriors result, but I think the NRL/ESL/IRL:
A) Should stick with games in Las Vegas.
But:
B) Those games should have no standing in terms of Competition Points (in the case of the NRL games and ESL game), or ranking (in the case of the IRL womens game) as they're all ulitmately marketed as "Hey, Potential New Customers, Look At How Great League Is!" games ie exhibition games.
Therefore:
C) Las Vegas games should be Pre-Season.

After all, would NBA/NFL/NHL teams come down here to show how great their game is with Competition Points at stake?

That's what ya get for being a Warriors fan who's team just got beat by Tchwenty Tcheaw in Vegas.

I think next year should get rid of women's game and have American teams. Those mo foes got 20. Could have Eastern conference v Western or GF replay.
G1 SL
G2 USARL game
G3 & G4 NRL

I’d go
1. US exhibition game
2. Women’s WCC
3. ESL game (last years 2 v 3)
4. NRL Game (last years 2 v 3)
5. Men’s WCC

Might be too much in one day but trying to cover all bases

I think you can't lose the gravitas of having meaningful competition games being played for the NRL and Superleague.

Perhaps if they did the WCC they could make it have a huge cash prize for the players and the club.

ESL game was on at something like 10pm UK time so have to have it early on

Was aiming for a ‘each game is a level up’ type thing but yeah need to suit the target market too.
Unless they do 2 days it’s probably too many games also, seen a few complaints that this year was too long
