Pick Your Team Raiders v Warriors - [Round 1, 2025] LAS VEGAS

[CWC]

Zelensky might show up in Wahs jersey, under the sweater of course

The crowd for this game will be interesting. Second year for the event. It is also expanded to 4 games so it will be a long day.

The Super League teams will bring across fans from the UK.

The league fans will be okay with the 4 games. If they are trying to attract more Americans it might not work or they will turn up for the last game or two. Or first game they don't understand, second and third game = confusing but I like it, fourth game = I kind of get it.

Football is a full day thing over there, that won't deter them.

The fact that it's not football, will be the biggest barrier.

 

[CWC]

They probably prefer Union, with all the stoppage and commercials in between, I couldn’t get through 1 quarter of NFL without out falling asleep

Already 40k sold apparently which is how much they got on game day last year

Looks like they might of had there media day today so I'm sure there will be more when they post the full interview but here are some interesting bits from an one news article about said media day webby interview.

-----

The coach has settled on his starting side, confirming centre Ali Leiataua would start only his eighth NRL game in Vegas as replacement for the injured Rocco Berry.

------

The Warriors are still determining whether a second hooker, outside back or extra forward takes the final bench spot.

"We had a big debate about it this morning. It's still not clear," Webster said

[Hardyman's Yugo]

I went to a works thing last Thursday evening and got chatting to a young couple sat opposite me. They are going. Both Featherstone Rovers fans, her Grandad played centre when they won the challenge cup in the 1960’s apparently.

Good to see Tuaupiki mention his displeasure with bombing that last try. Good for him to get some time there, so as he says, he can consider how the winger thinks for when he resumes his other role whether that be fullback

Leka. Can be an outside back or forward. Walker to 9 of desperate. Or Walker to 6 and CHT to 9 and Leka to 14

Haha fair.a

Personally, I love NFL. But it's a different vibe.

Come Superbowl day, the lads come around and we crack out the beers, wings and banter.

It requires a bit of a different approach. But I get why it's not everyone's cup of tea.

 

[Jonesy69]

Raiders have named there travelling squad to Vegas as they have left this morning. Interesting that we don’t leave for a couple more days

The nrl are kind of stupid for making these official games I think they should of made them for seasons end games and tried to find NFL players to join in for each team - the real fans and the most most likely to flip wouldn't miss it if they were actually involved

I for one would 100% not be here if it wasn't a full competition game....

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Far out, had a cheeky look at flights for next week and they're less than $1400 to Vegas return...

Anyone considering a late notice run to support the boys?

Talk me down team....talk me down haha

I'm an NFL fan too - it's hard to explain but once you've watched enough the rhythm across all the stoppages makes sense and is part of it, i've even found it's more annoying to say turn the sound of the ads off as it upsets the flow. Go Bills.

Absolutely.

Also, enjoy Josh Allen's reign at the top of the AFC East, won't be that way for much longer
