Contrary to media reports, Penrith Panthers sees the NRL’s initiative to take premiership matches to Las Vegas as a great opportunity to grow rugby league on an international stage.
Panthers has expressed a desire to be represented in the Las Vegas fixtures, however the club believes representation in future years would be better suited.
Panthers faces the unenviable task of managing a potential stadium upgrade over the coming years, with the club’s desire to play in the US during the transition period.
The club has submitted an expression of interest to the NRL to be considered to play in Las Vegas in future years to help manage stadium transition.
