Following the success of round one in Las Vegas last week, the NRL is looking to decide on the four teams for next year’s event sooner rather than later.

He highlighted the large fan base and strong support for the team, emphasizing the significant corporate hospitality sales and season memberships.
The Cowboys are set to kick off their NRL season against the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium this Sunday.
Both Reibel and Dolphins chief Terry Reader attended a CEO conference in Las Vegas, with Reader expressing the Dolphins’ interest in participating in the 2025 event as well.
