I wonder if topics about rugby league are often created on NFL forums???

110 million people in the USA watched this disappointingly one sided game. That is more than one in three Americans. That is equivalent to 20 million Brits watching the Super League or Challenge Cup final. Not even English Premier League or UEFA can match that figure.

It was free to air in the USA on Fox Sports, which is owned by the same family who owns Sky Sports.

Denver Broncos quarter back Peyton Manning was completely put off his game by an aggressive Seattle defence, which is like Johnathan Thurston or Cooper Cronk or both being put off their games by an aggressive English defence.

Fortunately rugby league in the UK is sure to catch up to the NFL. That is because it is administered by far sighted entrepreneurs like Nigel Wood, who has plans, through the reversion to P & R, to open up Super League access to some of Europe's booming economic powerhouses and major population centres like Featherstone and Leigh. It won''t be long before 20 million British and 20 million French television viewers start tuning in to the big games being held at Post Office Road.

Can't see it working. Having been in London when one of the on the road games took place the amount of Americans and Germans that cam over for it was huge along with folk from across the UK. If it was to be a full time thing it would just go the way of London Monarchs

I agree with the above poster the London monarchs died a death once the novelty had worn off

The London Monarchs comparison isn't particularly fair. At the end of the day, people will pay to watch the best in the world - the Monarchs were anything but.

The difficulty of encouraging American's to live overseas, the comparable lack of media exposure and the tax system are all reasons why the NFL won't have a franchise in London.

Ergo London broncos away crew is small.....
