Apparently the weather has been so bad that there is a lot of damage outside the ground that might hamper people from coming in to the stadium.

That's probably there excuse for a poor crowd.

With all these ads for Las Vegas the NRL definitely got a huge bag from the tourist board.

The black seats is a great idea, empty seats don't look so obvious.

Looked up the current weather, it's perfectly fine lol

Good to have the league back, but can't wait for this nonsense gimmick to be done with.

Considering it's in Vegas they probably should have taken the Raiders over as one of the teams.

Panthers, Titans, Cowboys other possibilities for name familiarity.

NRL: See the big hits, the aggression, no pads, no helmets.

American: Who's playing?

NRL: Bunnies and Roosters

American: ..........

Meh....shouldve bought it to Rotovegas.

Roll on the 2024 season! Year of the Warriors!

At least Fox have sent their best commentary team to bring the game to the billions!

 

[Citygirl]

Could they not even give tickets away? I'm glad we're not playing over there

 

[Inruin]

Said it before, can we bring back the painted in goals permanently for all rounds?

 

[Ever Hopeful]

At least your footy fields are the right size.

One of those games where I don't give a shit who wins. Only watching to put the boot in

Early try is good for the crowd, but the expectation now is that this will be more like basketball than soccer and surely these dudes running into each other endlessly - doing a chicken scratch in the dirt they call a play the ball, can try something different coz to the untrained eye, the Rugby codes look like men running at men pointlessly rather than throw the ball around and create lots of exciting try's.

 

[sup42]

By the crowd noise it sounds as though the majority are probably ex pats and informed already.

Preaching to the converted and all that.

Glory Glory to South Sydney is really gonna draw in the hip young folk...well done NRL...I see what you did there.

I remember watching when I was little, asking my dad, what are they doing (humping) on the ground haha

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Thought Saab was gone there....great chase that

 

[sup42]

Wow lost ball forwards by Souths and Klien lets his favorite team get a free pass.

 

[Bay39er]

How did Mitchell get away with that flop
