“Like many of us, I watched last year’s NRL games in Vegas on television,” says Radlinski, whose club won all four trophies last year and were crowned BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year.
Two more Super League clubs, not necessarily Wigan or Warrington, are likely to be invited to play in Vegas in 2026 by the NRL.
An ‘ambitious’ approach led the way to Super League’s historic debut in Sin City as Wigan Warriors face Warrington Wolves at the Allegiant Stadium.
“From a league perspective, success looks like two more Super League clubs going over there next year,” says Warrington CEO Fitzpatrick.
In 1989, Wigan and Warrington became the first two British professional rugby league teams to play each other in the USA, an exhibition match in Milwaukee that Wigan won 12-5.
