Americans don’t give a rat’s ass about the NRL

[azif]

Help me out with this - if a pass is fumbled but still goes backwards why is it called a knock on. Not trying to be smart but just watch this happen to Souths and appeared to go through hands but still backwards.

if hes running in a forward direction when it goes through his hands but touches them, then the ball has actually gone forward too

Cheers. Enjoying the game - it’s a cracker.

the attention the NRL is getting opening their season in Las Vegas has their heads in a spin

50,000 fans in da house
25,000 of them Americans keen to see Australias most watched sport in action

50,000 eh? with 25,000 being Americans yeah?

The crowd was inflated, and the game was not shown on Fox 1, (The main network) until 17 minutes into the game. The crowd was full of ex pats and Aussies on Holidays! lol, Top tear of the stadium was empty. V'Landy's thought all his Christmas's had come at once! Varying crowd figures for the game!

Yeah I have some mates that travelled over and they said there is heaps of Aussies in Vegas. Not too many Americans actually interested though. I suspect novelty will wear off each and every year for next 5 years of the deal to play over there.

I flicked over to check out the crowd. You're right, the entire top deck was empty seats. A lot of scattered empty seats in lower bowl too.

crowd looks spot on
40,746 when the 2nd game kicked off
no one said it wasn't mainly aussies either travelling , or.. residing in the USA but there were thousands of foreigners as well from a multitude of other countries

the buzz back here ?
well it was through the roof , fans of the other clubs are clamouring to take a trip of a life time to Vegas in the coming years , me included
& the NRL's season openers in 2028 will play to a full house & half the crowd will be American.
Apparently Fox America ( run by the biggest NRL fan their is ,Lachlan Murdoch) are prepared to sign the NRL up , showing all games into the US for $200 million for 5 years from this year , big money for us
chump change for them

has this been a success ?
only a clown would say it hasn't been
