The states must be relieved to see Matt Lodge injured
If you want to make this Vegas thing more attractive you take the only team from another country over there and make it tribal.
That way you get buy in, a crowd split, Aussies vs Aussies means nothing, but if you bring a team from another country called the Warriors vs three Aussie based teams you have a selling point.
Of the small bunch of Americans that do watch the NRL, they tend to like the Warriors highlights featuring Shaun Johnson and even though he is too old to do half that shit, at least they could have false advertised with an SJ highlights package that anyone who likes sports immediately enjoys.
Also we should have been there based off the competition placings of the last season, another missed selling point. The Americans couldn't give a shit that one team is from Brisbane and the others are from Sydney.....how about advertising that you brought the four top teams from last years comp to the US?
As such I don't have a lot of love for the concept. Rugby league promotion in NZ could have done with this game.

Hopefully they iron out some of the unattractive sides to it by the next time and I think you could be right, the yanks would lap it up that tribal experience. Might something that SJ is excited about to play another season for the experience?

Since the nrl are buying out Superleage they might as well send Wigan, Penrith, Warriors and a local US team to cheer for, the Vegas Mafiosos or something.

Mafiuso's, plenty of Samoans up there
The NRL premiers vs super league champs has some merit - seems obvious when pointed out - they are travelling long distance anyway.
Genius move!

They can call it... wait for it... the world club challenge!
V'Landys should consult Wahs fans before making any further stupid decisions.
There would be a mexican stand off over who would referee

In the words of that Mexican president, tell em build a wall and get over it
If they pay for it
Clean sweep..
Warriors and Knights only sure bets by the ‘experts’
A little disrespectful to last years top 6 Sharkys to be honest, but screw em, maybe we’re just that awesome!
The more I see of this stadium, the more I’m expecting to see someone get severely injured.
Kind of more excited to watch now!

A little bit of a close look at the field.
Looks like they've accepted risk of injuries for the smaller sideline.

Also I notice the roosters were training on actual field whereas Rabbitohs were on different field. Do they all get a chance to train on the actual ground they're playing?

Today I'm imagining a Joseph Tapine vs Reece Walsh esq tackle & little Reecey ending up in the 4th row...
I heard they didn’t want the Warriors these as a Montoya fend was deemed to much a H&S risk…
