This is about future gambling revenue, not current media coverage or a few games in Vegas. I suspect the NRL will be hosting major US gambling companies in Vegas this weekend and saying - "look at this, we dumped an unknown sport here, got 45-50k people turn up with no national media coverage, we have nationwide Fox TV coverage lined up for our competition, these are the gambling options, are you interested in investing?" Their decision will decide how successful this all becomes.
You have hit the nail on the head.
One thing i would say though if RL commercial think having a match here would work forget it,the prices for the majority of RL fans are to expensive and our fan base is too narrow.
Flight for us 4 wife and 2 boys 3200
Hotel 3 nights 900 (No food)
Breakfast just now very modest 100
Lunch yesterday no wine just beers 300
Tickets 800 (OK our choice)
Food over 3 days beers etc 1200
Taxis 60
That's just basics before any shopping which is our choice
Total you are looking at around over 6K ridiculous Vegas is as expensive as Norway even more i would say.
On a happier note 3 pairs of Oakleys 50% off:)))))

If you mean one of the 15 - yes.
In that case would have been better to stay on Channel 4 if we end up with a load of matches on fringe channels

It’s hardly the end of the world is it. They do announce it, 3 times per season.
I was there for the Leeds match and it was announced on the tannoy

Does this match count as inevitable of the BBC LIVE TV matches

I'd respectfully suggest that the CEO in question is an idiot. Feel free to name and shame.
Catalans Dragons bring a fully-resourced club to SuperLeague, delivering elite performance as a result of having the budget to do so from their commercial engine. We don't have 12 of those in total. I can think of at least 4 current SuperLeague clubs who don't come anywhere near that definition, so that CEO should be looking at those organisations first.
Of course we all know that the CEO probably runs one of those very same weak clubs, so they won't...
Pro Dragons clubs are very easy to find out they tend to be in the top half of the table bar London Broncos.

Quote from one CEO
Apart from a jolly for the fans Catalan Dragons bring nothing to Super League and really should just go back and play in their own competition.

Currently in the lounge at Heathrow Terminal 3 with the missis and 2 youngest boys waiting for the 5-40pm Virgin Atlantic flight to Las Vegas.
I would say out of 150 persons in here 80% are rugby league fans great effort:)
Making sure we all get our 35 squids worth i would say airport lounge will not to make any m money out of us:))))

If this is correct then its a total disgrace if I was the club i would tell SL to ###### off it stinks of a total tin pot sport .
On the subject of teams flying in and out some clubs have rowed back on this for this season Wolves spent 3/4 nights in France and i know Leigh Leopards plan to do the same and also Hull KR no idea of others .

Off tomorrow afternoon with the wife and 2 youngest boys may do the Motown show:)

Off on Thursday looking at the tickets available,top tiers not open or on sale and what is available don't see more than 20000 hope i am wrong

The France figures are strange and must include schools touch etc.
There are around 70 clubs which would equal let's say 1600 under that juniors etc maybe 3000 tops add female 5000 would be pushing it

I hate to say this but the only way ever forward would have been a shared stadium with Wakefield Trinity, too late now the horse has bolted Trinity will be the dominant club in the area.

I assume what Paul's saying is the audience demographics mean that the in-game adverts don't hit the "right" type of people when seen through that channel.
My view though would be that it's incremental: We can sell energy drinks to the younger Sky demographic, and Ovaltine to the BBC viewers, if our sport is shown on both.
What I am saying is that sponsors reach a far better demographic on SKY + one has some global coverage .
YES I get it that the BBC audience is bigger its FTA so always will be in the UK however matches on BBC never have a consistent fixed viewership (Unless maybe an England appearance in a WC Semi-Final Final deciding match in a 3 test series v Australia or New Zealand) its a peak and huge drop off as viewers are channel flicking whilst sitting in their arm chair most half asleep in the winter:) with SKY one pays for it and its a pretty much dedicated audience.
I would also add (And more so since covid) many global corporations make global decisions and that decision maker could be in the USA Australia Singapore Dubai etc thats why SKY is so important nowadays i would also add that BT Sport (Now TNT) was/is also a hard sell West Indian cricket want from Sky Sports to BT Sport and the interest went down the toilet.
