JUST IN: SUPER LEAGUE COACH ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING RUGBY LEAGUE AFTER…………..

A current Super League head coach has asserted that the USA may emerge as the sport’s new superpower nation when the NRL opening go to Las Vegas in an attempt to attract American spectators.

That guy is Paul Rowley, the head coach of the Salford Red Devils, and he has discussed the NRL’s journey to America and its potential implications for the sport on LinkedIn.

At Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, the NRL season will kick off with a doubleheader between the Sydney Roosters against the 2023 runners-up Brisbane Broncos and the Manly Sea Eagles against the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

“As the first coach of the world’s first trans-Atlantic rugby league team, I feel qualified to share my opinion on the opportunity that presents itself and wonder what the actual objective is,” Rowley said on LinkedIn. I see two doable objectives:

“To capitalize on the wealth of American sports and garner sufficient interest to negotiate the most lucrative TV deal in rugby league history, bringing the toughest competition in the world to a TV audience in the United States.”

“To establish a successful American league that offers the many young athletes in the USA another avenue for their athletic career.”

Ashton Sims was another individual who participated in the Toronto Wolfpack experiment and offered commentary on the games played in America.

The hard-hitting forward joined the Wolfpack instead of the Warrington Wolves to play rugby league in North America.

“They are just incredibly built – big, strong, fast, evasive and agile – but obviously without the skills you learn from having grown up playing rugby league, like catch, pass and tackle technique,” the former Super League forward told NRL.com.

“However, you are entering a market where I genuinely think the sky is the limit if you put the right time, energy, resources, and coaching into them, which it looks like the NRL is doing.”

Sims went on to say that compared to when the Wolfpack was founded, rugby league is now far more popular in North America and offers significantly more opportunities.

“I don’t think the game is in a better position than it is right now to try to expand into new markets,” Sims stated.
