Despite the lower-than-expected TV ratings in Las Vegas, Abdo remains optimistic about the NRL's future in the US market.
The league has big ambitions of expanding its reach internationally, and Las Vegas was just the first step in this journey.
As they say in rugby league, it's all about building momentum and growing the sport one game at a time.
The NRL is no stranger to overcoming challenges, with a rich history of resilience and determination.
With the right strategy and continued effort, the league can definitely make a mark in the competitive American sports landscape.
It may be a tough game, but the NRL is ready to tackle the challenge head-on and score big in the long run.
As they say down under, it's all about giving it a fair go and never backing down from a good challenge.
