I think the nrl is just trying to get a bit of shine from the UFC .
I think the overall plan would be to hopefully make it like the NFL and the Jaguars annual trip to London .
I guess if it managed to get in the US media and become a thing , then there’s the off chance an USNRL could be established . But that would be tough going . There’s already a professional US rugby comp , and I’m not sure how popular that is . If at all .

UFC CEO, 10.1m instagram followers, a part of the Meta board, friends with , who is a convicted Rapist and Felon (I don’t support him) and he’s worth $500m. my logic is he’ll get the game exposed to teens in America who spread it to parents and it’s as contagious as corona in 2020 china. He’s a key figure in why the UFC is what it is today and why it generated an estimated $1.3 billion in revenue last year and could be great for the game as a whole. Especially if it lines the NRLs pockets so we don’t get names on the back of jerseys.

Bitta history thank to ChatGPT

Dana White is the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and has played a pivotal role in its transformation into a global powerhouse of mixed martial arts (MMA).

He took over the UFC in 2001 when it was struggling financially, purchasing it alongside partners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta (for $2m from memory). Whites leadership helped turn the organization around, and under his direction, the UFC grew exponentially, securing media deals, expanding globally, and signing major sponsorships.

2 million is cheap in hindsight, UFC copped a huge backlash in its day ,vego tree huggers where trying to make their way in the world - so barbaric - ban it
 
It was called cage fighting back in the day,promoted with jets of blood sprouting from cheek ,eyebrow cuts,Boxing was copping crap also.Anthony Mundine spouting off in favour of the 7 11 attacks didn't help

Not relevant to WT (directly),

but Dana White networking with some of the NRL players (Cleary, Soro and Hudson) and them all being Vegas teams is a great sign he could go to Vegas which could really bring a boom in the US for the game. Hoping we are one of the 2026 teams now because Dana is a massive influence in the favour of NRL if he leaves March 2nd loving our game

Agree . But nfl used to be that way here . afl was the same in the northern states , nrl in the southern . If you promote it enough for long enough , and make it apart of the sporting landscape (easier said than done ) then there’s a chance .
I mean really it’s a shame the English game is so diabolical. If elitism and ww2 hadn’t happened , maybe the main games are the super league games and the backwater Aussie games are the undercard .
Such a weird footnote that RL was massive prior to ww2 in England and France , and ww2 was used to try and squash the game .
It sounds like a bad idea for a story no one would read . Except it’s true .

They all played in the days where you had a beer at halftime.
In this day and age of full time professionalism, it’s a big ask to jump from schoolboys, skip the senior levels and be the playmaker in first grade.

What about the cigs at halftime? That blows me away.

Pardon the pun.
