Nine aspiring rugby league players from various corners of the globe have been named as the first recruits for the 2025 Las Vegas combine, set to take place in the bright lights of Sin City.
Reports from the sporting website zerotackle.com reveal that this initial group of six men and three women have been given the nod to showcase their skills at the Vegas Combine, with an additional 41 players expected to join them in the near future.
Hailing from countries as diverse as Canada, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, and the United States of America, rising star Marcus D'Acre has already raised eyebrows in the rugby league world, catching the attention of NRL scouts, according to News Corp.
The buzz around the combine is palpable, with whispers suggesting that four standout players - two men and two women - will be handpicked by NRL officials to jet off to Australia for a two-week training stint with a top-tier team down under.
The ultimate prize? A potential contract to play professionally in the land of hard tackles and fierce competition.
