BURGESS EYES VEGAS JACKPOT

England star dreaming of making it big in America

ENGLAND star Tom Burgess makes the trip to Sin City wanting Americans to win big on rugby league.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs prop takes part in a wild adventure when the NRL season starts in Las Vegas this weekend.

It is all part of the Australian competition's bold plans to bag a lucrative piece of the saturated US sports market.

But Super League chiefs are also in town to see if they can latch on to the NRL's five-year plan to grow the game, with speculation Magic Weekend could potentially head there.
