NRL played in Vegas is irrelevant to the average American sports fan.
This exhibition game was only to provoke interest in the Australian media, a left of field attention seeker.

Lions second most supported team in Brisbane, great achievement in RL heartland.

Dolphins will struggle on and off the field.
They are not a shiny new thing anymore , so passe

The AFL Grand Final entertainment featuring rock icons KISS is now seen as one of the best ever.
The overall production, performance and music makes for spectacular prelude to the Grand Final. It's gonna be a hard act to follow., nobody can top that.

I used to think the NRL did the pre gsme, half time entertainment so well but seems in recent years the AFL have lifted their game. Maybe the Meatloaf debacle led to this ? Robbie Williams last year was unbelievable and this year the afl have Kiss. I’m expecting they’ll perform to their usual best ...

Poor old Broncos
They won't get all the attention they don't deserve.
A Rugby League team in a Rugby League state.
But !!!
The Lions will steal a lot of their thunder
Amazing , the AFL beats the ponies in a RL state.
Amazing.

Poor Ponies.

GWS won thousands of New fans last night especially in Sydney and Canberra. The TV ratings all around Australia were phenomenal.
Problem with the Raiders is that they generally don't rate well outside the ACT.

oh no :shock: fumblers will be losing their shit about this 8-[ fucking clueless spas^tics :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :(/ :(/ :(/ :(/ :(/ For a game where the ball is only in play for an average of 11.5 minutes, this must have been a horrible example of the sport. Shocking game, 11.5 minutes ...

AFL will always be worth more than the NRL. NRL will always be number two NRL always has been number two. The T V figures don't tell the whole story.. Broadcast deals always favor the AFL because it has further reach nationwide Companies pay more to advertise with a National sport, it's always been ...

Poor old Dolphins Dead in the water. They had a few good moments this year but all their hard work to strengthen the Rugby League code is in tatters as Brissy locals will jump on board the Lions train and watch them secure a GF spot. If RL is so dominant in Brisbane then why do you need the Dolphins...

NRL game in Las Vegas. This exercise is stupidity will be seen as a grotesque travelling sideshow that is a prelude to the Vegas comedy festival.. This futile non event wont register with local sports fans who are too discerning to watch an inferior butchered form of Rugby Union. Ask any American ab...

Brisbane vs Carlton Should be a great game That is Brisbane Lions, I forgot there is another Brisbane team, Brisbane who. ? Briissy locals will go nuts coz Lions can make the GF. Lions and Carlton are going to steal a lot of interest from the Broncos that is because a quality sports event will alway...

The Broncos Storm debacle was a complete turn off. The Swans Carlton game was the one to watch. Despite a Swans 2 goal half ( and only just. ) they were still not that far behind.and it was still worthwhile to stay tuned, unlike that other ugly sport. Missing a few too many easy goals up front cost ...

NRLW speaks for itself Those poor pathetic uncoordinated clumsy heavy gals, I felt sorry for them playing in front of 30000 plus empty seats. Talk about irrelevant, dictionary check, irrelevant means NRLW. Nobody watching, nobody cared, a truly lost cause, and the stupidity of brain dead officials (...

New team will be enormous.
Huge impact on local economy, sports tourism.
Make the Dolphins ( who? are they still around. ? ) look like small fry. !
