Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3585357, member: 9853"] The clubs have met with PVL, who has agreed to boost the funding towards their “acclimatization camps” which could cost up to $400,000. They assert they need a good week in the US for prep. He's also agreed to expedite the visa applications, especially for the ex-cons like Reece and Payne who are barred from ESTAs. He's also secured them pre-match venues for captain’s runs. The Broncos will take 40 to Vegas, including 23 players, basing themselves at the LA Rams HQ. The first few days of the camp will only include light training and recovery.

Now that’s been resolved, we can all get on with our final preparations. We’re all looking forward to being part of rugby league history.”[/INDENT] [B][I]Blake Solly:[/I][/B] [INDENT]“We’re grateful for Peter and Andrew’s approach to the meeting. The clubs have always been realistic about the scale and ambition of this event – and the challenges that it creates for everyone. Peter and Andrew gave us the support we needed around financial assistance for acclimatization camps, medical insurance, accommodation and training venues in Las Vegas. The clubs absolutely want to focus on making the event the success it deserves to be. This is a huge opportunity for rugby league and we’re committed to creating the best event we can in Vegas.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
