AMERICAN DREAM

Burgess hoping NRL hits Vegas jackpot 

- DAVE CRAVEN

ENGLAND star Burgess to Sin Tom heads City wanting Americans to win big on rugby league.

The South Sydney prop takes part in a wild adventure when the new NRL season kicks off in Las Vegas.

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

But Super League bosses are also in town to see if they can latch onto the NRL's five-year plan, with speculation Magic Weekend could potentially head to the gambling capital.

Burgess, 31, hopes it all takes off- and he might get recognised after a huge advert featuring him landed in one of the world's busiest places.
