NRL Vegas promo

[Shanked]

why do players need the NRL to sort out their visas? they're adults

 

[B-Train]

I'm sure the clubs will be happy with paying 400k for a training base for a round 1 game.. Most clubs lose enough money every season as it is.. 400k is a huge amount to make the clubs pay.

The NRL should be covering all of that expense considering its their stupid idea to go to Vegas in the first place..

Didn't Latrell travel to the US to see a specialist? Just travel as an individual on the same type of visa he used and then throw on jersey on game day, it's not like they'll know who he is lol.

Work visas need the support of your employer, plus it is much easier if the NRL applies for the 100 or so visas rather than 100 people individually apply. I would have thought the NRL would be using an expert in USA work visas to complete the application process, that's what we do when we are sending more than 1 or 2 employees to the US.

He wasn't "working", much harder to get a work visa.

Typical NRL admin.

We need you to do us a huge favour. We want you to deny your fans access to the opening round of footy. On the plus side it'll cost you about half a million dollars. Your players will be a bit more fatigued to begin the season after huge international flights and we'll royally fuck up every aspect of this that we organise.

I love NRL. But I scratch my head at these decisions. The US don’t want rugby league. It’s as poor a decision as when they take origin to Perth or Melbourne….maybe worse….pearls before swine.

The Americans could play their best grid iron teams on my neighbours back yard and I still wouldn’t be interested!!

Hope it is succesful but doesnt seem to have been thought through - the field is smaller width n length wise - (originally they said only width was different) visa approvals are out of the hands of the NRL, Aust gov, insurance/ medical costs???? flying home for 15 hours after a concussion?. Seems that most excited by it all are the media who will be able to enjoy the fun games that Vegas provides.

Every day it becomes more fitting with these stupid fucks.

Hopefully this flops bad enough we can finally see the end of Vlandys.

 

[B-Train]

Playing on a way smaller field in terms of width, which will make it harder to score and move the ball, will really help advertise the game over there.. Smart...

 

[GoTheDoggies]

bahahaha NR fucking LOL

Imagine if Gus got the call up from the FRAUD VLANDYS to come and play games in Vegas.

Gus would tell him to get fucked.

I agree with you re the competency of the NRL, but don’t leave inept organisations like Centrelink and the National Education Standards Authority (they run the HSC) out of the discussion.

Has David letterman joined in the promotion??? Seen a snip saying he bought the bunnies with Billy crystal. Pretty sure he hasn’t, must be to generate some talk about upcoming game??

I lost interest about 10 seconds after he started talking about it, likely a beat up.

It’s fairly standard when travelling for business or work for your employer to sort out any visas and documentation (e.g. letters of invitation).

Nasheed here,
They is not going to know difference.
I think Woods is low impact on manly pre season because he’s not in top 30 but a Supp player and he’s only there from rd 11 onward.
And he speaks well not like these Islander ‘yeah bro big game and dat hehe’ types

what I do think is a problem is the huge marketing of the big hits as opposed to skill.
We don’t have big hits in the game often (anymore)

Woodsy speaks cleanly and at a fast tempo and is probably good for US market to be marketing the game. I think he's a good choice.

Vossy is another one that would be good.

You don't want your stuttering Alexanders and Meningas doing it. Otherwise it could do harm for the reputation of the game.
