What is this bloody interest in Las Vegas??

It's a sh*thole. Just a massive tourist trap run by the mob.

Take it to Cumbria. There's no appetite for the money men to expand overseas so focus on underserved markets with local potential.

That’s a great idea Mike but not sure if there is a suitable venue in Cumbria, don’t know of any stadiums.

But Las Vegas is just a load of Yanks aren’t interested in RL they prefer the over padded NFL!

Nowhere big enough here but there a couple of nice big fields on the way in to Millom

Cricket built a stadium just for their tournament.

To me it succes,to a point only because it was always about flogging the NRL as a gambling concept and given the sums of money involved in Australia I can sort of see why,now compare us to them is utter nonsense there is simply no reason why taking a couple of sides over there would work the American audience have no interest in the sport proves it’s only about flogging the NRL and its app nothing more,nothing less but they can throw money at something and hope it works our sport can’t.

But seems to me people pushing this are the usual suspects journalist SL looking for a freebie so will ask loaded questions in the hope they throw a few crumbs and plane tickets our way.

So for me the interest is nothing more than this years fad not about trying to grow a sport that will never take off over there

Quite right. It's never really "taken off" here never mind over the pond!

Not going to that shithole Leeds this time, so certainly not going overseas.
Newcastle worked well and was a real favourite, extremely disappointed this years wasn't taken back there.
IMG are fecking* clueless.

In fairness, it’s the new Saudi owners of Newcastle Utd who withdrew the use St James Park to the RFL for Magic.
