The game drew around 10,000 English fans and was part of a quadruple header that also featured two NRL fixtures and a women's Test match between England and the Australia Jillaroos.

Jones praised the success of the event and expressed excitement for the future of Super League in the United States.

He stated, "I can confirm there will be a game here next year of Super League in Vegas.

We had the conversation with the NRL earlier this week.

They want us to be a part of this event.

I think the two teams this year and ourselves have proved that we are an integral part of this event so Super League will be back here next year."
