What do you think the objective is of playing a SL game in North America (after the hiatus of the Toronto experiment).

Is it to "raise awareness" again?

Funnily enough, I think for Warrington and Wigan it's more about building contacts with some of the movers and shakers in the NRL and getting access to that company more than it is about the USA.

I don't quite understand the criticism of the RFL in all this. It has been made very clear this has been organised by the two clubs involved, not an RFL or IMG initiative.

I see. I hope this goes some way to making an NRL takeover of SL more likely.

Not sure what benefit we or RFL we see from this. What is the primary objective?

I had a week at the Bellagio. The light/fountain show is fantastic but I got chucked out of the pool for playing with my 7 year old daughter and "making a noise".

I'm already booked to go to Vegas at the end of May next year, and I'm now seriously tempted to go twice in less than three months. I think it's brilliant that we're involved, and I know it's Wigan who led the way, but I'd rather they took us along for the ride than Saints, Leeds or whoever.

I realise it's not cheap to go (hence I'm still at the "tempted" stage rather than the "booked it" stage) but going to every single match isn't compulsory. I can't see any negatives to it.
