BREAKING: The NRL won’t be playing the opening round in the USA next season. They have not given up hope of doing it in years to come.
No US game in 2023. What a relief!

I discriminate indiscriminately
Apparently 7 of our players refused to go when they found out the American flag had coloured stripes on it...

What a shock. Didn’t see that coming.

I know - weird, right? This is Manly and rugby league - sanity is NEVER supposed to prevail.

Thank god for that
Hey GE, I'll be heading over to the US soon and I wanted to ask your permission to do at least 1 Sea Eagles placed cap when I'm there. Your posts are fantastic and I don't want to be seen to be copying you but there is one shot I'd like to take that I hope will get a chuckle.
You certainly don't need my permission.
thanks for the kind words, and
I wished more people would do it. tis a big world out there.
Looking forward to them!
Dollar is cr@p mate....wait a year or 2
Going to visit family - so all good.
Bugger the NFL. Bring a cpl games of NHL over. I would definitely be up for that.
Thanks @Budgie, that's excellent. Finally some sense has prevailed!
It's been a good week with the re-signings and now this news 🙂
Penn is in it to build the game in the US so he can own one of the franchises ... say the New York Sea Eagles. Don't think he is interested in selling Manly .. the club made a profit last year and under V'landy's look like they will continue to make larger profits.
The NRL are interested because if they can lift the profile of the game in the states to justify a spot on fox over there ... and attract even 1% of USA sports punters to bet on the games ... then that is a windfall of income .. not to mention a benefit to sponsors that might have a footprint in both Australia and the states ... say a local brewery wanting to export .
It will take time ... but at least V'landy is talking about a 5 year plan of taking games and promotion ...
