The NRL has said the success of the Las Vegas matches will be judged in five years, but year one shows it won’t be achieved easily.
The Las Vegas venture? As discussed, it seemed to go pretty well, at least in terms of the buzz it created. That ain’t the issue.
It’s the biggest day of the fan’s life, and good luck to that fan who will tell every detail of the encounter to anyone who will listen, for decades to come. But for Taylor Swift herself, and the US, it is instantly forgotten the moment the fan is gone. At the base of these claims, somewhere in the NRL there will be serious number-crunching going on. Right now, it appears to have been an expensive way of jagging that selfie.
Captain Jake Gordon – who grew up on the mean streets of Newtown – starts laying down the law, and the Tahs steady – in no small part due to some death-defying charges by prop Angus Bell. Australian rugby remains on the bones of its arse. But that fantastic win, against all odds and all form-guide, felt a little like the dawn after a long night. Bravo to the lot of them, and to coach Darren Coleman. He came to the job highly regarded and has struggled to get results. But only a well-put-together team, with a real heart, could have pulled off that win. More, please.
