Yes for a bit extra buzz and publicity and a good holiday for fans. Less certain on impact on USA. Four games is one to many. Same as Magic good for fun and headlines less so for development or expansion. There is no magic bullet.

Two free-to-air games to day on TV. One from Wakefield (BBC), one from Las Vegas (Sky Mix). Vegas has its supporters but does it have rhubarb, a chantry chapel or a sculpture park. Think on. #rugbyleague
