WARRINGTON Wolves would be “all over” the chance to play in Las Vegas should they be invited to do so, head coach Sam Burgess says.

The Australian NRL season started in the US city in March, with more than 40,000 fans packing into Allegiant Stadium to see a double header involving Manly Sea Eagles, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Brisbane Broncos and Sydney Roosters.

The NRL venture will continue for the next four years and there is talk of two Super League teams being invited to take part in 2025, with The Wire and neighbours Wigan Warriors tipped to take part.

Burgess confirmed he had spoken “on a friendly basis” with Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’Landys about getting his side involved and that he would “love” to be a part of taking rugby league back to Vegas.

“Of course we’d go for it,” he said when asked about the prospect of facing the Warriors Stateside.

“Any chance to expand our brand as a club and showcase what we feel we’ve got on the world stage, we’d be all over it.

“I’m good friends with Peter V’landys and I reached out to him a few months ago on a friendly basis saying we’d loved to be a part of it.

“I think it would be a Wigan home game so I think they’re in the driving seat with organising it.

“Nothing’s confirmed yet, but we’d love to be part of it.”

Of course, it would not be the first time Warrington and Wigan have met in the United States – back in 1989, the two met in Milwaukee for the Great American Challenge, which ended 12-5 to Wigan.

Burgess himself was involved when England faced New Zealand in Denver in 2018 in what was the latest attempt to take rugby league to America before the NRL hit Vegas.

“We have a great product – they love their sport in America, especially collision sport and we offer a bit of that,” he said.

“The NRL have invested pretty heavily in it for the next four years and I think they’re taking the right approach.

“They understand it’s not going to be an overnight success but if that was Year One last year, it will be something special by Year Five.

“If we do it, we’ve got to market it probably and get players over there with their faces on TV.”
