Love when punters keep calling LAS VEGAS a FAIL>>

ITS AN INSTANT HIT

SPONSORS falling over themselves
RATINGS are HUGE in Australia
CROWDS of mid 45k Is very respectable
MEDIA hype it gets in NSW AND QLD is off the charts
Sponsors are lining up yet the tv networks decide to dump it from free to air! Lol

Jealousy truly is a curse makingdumbnormal. Remember when there was a rare outbreak of truth telling in the fumbling game: The AFL's US superstar Mason Cox said,"I was here in Vegas.............I saw what the NRL was doing and I was a bit jealous...... It's going to be pretty iconic scenes seeing the NRL come over here and playing......I think people will love it.......Rugby (League) has really kind of taken off over here.....!!!!!!

Well said Mase, anything else........yep........"Every time you ask an American if they know what AFL is they say, yeah, that's Rugby (League) right?" And of course he said these immortal words, "Round 1 NRL goes to Las Vegas. AFL premiers go to a showground for livestock" lolololololol!!!! Yep, that's where they have to clean the cow shit from the game before it starts lolololo.

So there ya have it sports fans. The truth from superstar Mason Cox. And the jealous drivelling rants from a bloke that calls himself makingdumbnormal. I REST MY CASE.

There there, Terrence, no need to be up set like those purple and green haired freaks you see on TV! It’s what the article says.

We don’t care wha you think as we know with such limited you NRL fans have and the struggles to have to follow any game much complex than the relative and predictable game if league.

It’s the decisions of the tv networks of what they think of League where they show it!
First free to air channel! No
Second? No
third? No

Straight to cable as only the odd expat will bother watching such a boring event

regards to Crowds (2025 CROWD Figure was 45k)
the NRL figures! and we all know they to double and triple count crowds.

were not the official numbers released from the stadium greatly different from the NRLs numbers after the triple counting?
Pretty sure you are confusing the NRL with AFL's blatant crowd figure lies at their exhibition matches in China.

No matter which way you look at it. The NRL Las Vegas has been more successful than every single AFL overseas match ever played. Bigger crowds than all AFL overseas exhibition matches, better run, better stadiums, more coverage.

There is not one metric AFL in China did better than the NRL in America.

The AFL nor fans ever claim to be an international sport like you league do

Leave internationally in the western world should be more popular but it is not and that makes it more laughable.

News flash makingshitup - RL fans claim RL is international because it is ya dill. It has professional teams in Aust, NZ, England,France and soon PNG. It has international teams that represent those 5 nations plus Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, the Cook Islands and others.

RL fans have no illusions as to our place in world sport. The point is the game IS international makingstupidnormal.

Now take off your jealousy hat pal, give yaself an uppercut, and get back to yelling at clouds and punching at shadows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
