Westpac NSW Blues coach John Strange expresses optimism about the future of women's rugby league in Las Vegas, believing it will return in a stronger position to attract new fans.
Recent reports from nrl.com.au highlight the impressive 90-4 victory of the Jillaroos against England during a quadruple header at Allegiant Stadium.
However, the overwhelming score raised questions about the best ways to promote women's rugby league in the U.S.
market.
Proposed ideas to enhance the sport's visibility include staging a State of Origin match or featuring last season's NRLW grand finalists.
The NRL recently announced its third trip to Las Vegas, revealing a schedule that includes matches between the Dragons and Bulldogs, and Cowboys against the Knights, with a final match featuring English Super League clubs Hull KR and Leeds.
Strange supports the decision to forgo a women's game in 2026, expressing confidence that women's rugby league will return "bigger than ever."
