G'day Mates! Las Vegas Calling, But Not for Elvis (This Time)!
So, you've got a hankering for some top-notch NRL action, but fancy swapping the beach for buffets and the roar of the crowd for the jingle of slot machines? Look no further than the shimmering oasis of Las Vegas, baby! That's right, the NRL has taken its talents to Sin City in 2024, and it's shaping up to be a right corker of a time.
What Nrl Teams Are Playing In Las Vegas 2024 |
But First, Who's Packing Their Kangaroos Jerseys and Hitting the Blackjack Tables?
Hold your horses there, champ! It's not the entire NRL barbie heading to Vegas. This year, it's a special four-team showdown designed to introduce the glorious game of rugby league to the bright lights and questionable fashion choices of the American audience.
So, which lucky four are basking in the Nevada sun and (hopefully) not getting lost in a casino maze?
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
- The Brisbane Broncos: Those Queensland larrikins are sure to bring the sunshine and (let's be honest) some questionable haircuts.
- The Sydney Roosters: Arguably the most glamorous team in the league (sorry, Penrith!), the Roosters will be hoping their fancy footwork translates to the blackjack tables.
- The South Sydney Rabbitohs: Watch out for some serious firepower with this mob. Just promise us Bunnies fans, you won't overdo it on the pre-game all-you-can-eat shrimp.
- The Manly Sea Eagles: Tom Trbojevic alone is worth the price of admission, folks. This bloke's footwork is so smooth, he could probably charm his way out of a speeding ticket on the Vegas strip.
Double Header Bonanza!
These four teams will be battling it out in a double-header extravaganza on Saturday, March 2nd, so mark your calendars and prepare to witness history (and maybe a few Elvis impersonators in the crowd).
Top Tip: Don't forget to check the time difference, cobber! The game might be in Vegas, but kick-off will be happening Down Under on Sunday, March 3rd.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
