Hugh Jackman, the iconic Hollywood star known for his portrayal of Wolverine, is poised to throw his support behind the Australian rugby league competition NRL's inaugural season launch in Las Vegas, America. Teaming up with fellow actor Russell Crowe, Jackman's involvement promises to inject a dose of star power into the NRL's ambitious venture into the US sporting market.

Thank's Hugh Jackman 🐺; Rugby League is my Sport Nr.1 ( Peter from Switzerland 🇨🇭). Let's go 🇵🇬

[@ManuWeihiruku]

With you my brother ❤

[@peterstreiff3811]

I play Touch 🏉 and Flag (Touch ) 🏈 in Switzerland 🇨🇭 Rugby Union is played in ( my) Country; Rugby League is a unknown Sport in Switzerland. I ❤ Rugby League 🏉 Peter

[@dom3335]

I heard he wasn't going to help promote it so that's good if he does. It seems like that's why Manly was chosen as one of the four clubs to push the game over there. The clubs chosen were basically the 2 glamour clubs that get everything, plus Russel Crowe and Huge Jacked Man's teams.

[@SuguAmesi]

Yes, he won't be as involved as initially planned due to his busy schedule and personal issues, but he'll still be involved nonetheless.

[@ClipsFromMaine]

Let’s go!! I cannot wait to see some of my Australian brothers in Vegas this year! 😁

[@johnsonwithat2322]

Thats crazy, I never knew he sung the anthem.

[@MrComfyAustralia]

He played Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz stage show yrs ago

[@johnsonwithat2322]

@MrComfyAustralia yeah I realized he's a stage performer as well, just never knew he sung at a game. But thats interesting also.

HJ lets go Manly.

Boooooh 😂

[@fiktang]

snoop suits league tops bad as hell!

[@ross4970]

Imagine how good if it was AFL being played there? A real Aussie game of skill and more importantly brains and courage. Preschool ball skills are all you need to play rugby league. Braincells are secondary and steroid use is a must.

[@chrisr5499]

At least Rugby League looks looks a bit like American Football unlike Aussie Rules as that sport should stick to GAA football...as Frank Wilson say's in The Club 'get your thumb and stick it up his bum'.

[@petethundabox5067]

AFL is a better game to watch live, but I doubt they have any fields big enough for it in the US. NRL is better for TV, though, the Las Vegas field is thinner than ours, so it may limit some of the backline attacking. I'm guessing there'll be a lot more kicking in open play. Go the Bunnies ❤💚

[@mariorighetti7334]

Aussie rules isn't the shadow of a game it used to be. Most frustrating game to watch with the many contentious rules and all the zoning and flooding shite. I am very glad I have converted to rugby league

[@samsonhiggins2608]

Nah just keep that junk of a sport in Australia, shits ass

[@tastystreetfood5903]

Doesn’t sound like you’re a real sports fan?.. just a jealous one😢

Barbie, Kidman, Rebel and all the other Aussies should be out there promoting it.

A bloke who pretends to be someone else as a living, promoting a sport only 2 out of 7 states in Australia watch. Mmmmm.😂

[@andr3wr89]

Those 2 states have more than 50% of the population, chuck in NZ, PNG, Samoa and Tonga and GAYFL is clearly followed by the minority.....

Australians trying to make nrl world wide sports but nfl is way better 😂😂😂

[@paythepiper6283]

I like NFL, but it's boring AF at most of the time. Rugby League is harder, faster and the best team contact sport for TV in the world.

[@kylegibson5933]

NFL is a joke.

[@pantherz9103]

Yeah ok for people who like stop-start and ‘time out’ bs. Can’t stand most American sports due to the lack of continuous game play flow and the stop-start nature of the sports. Just a way of squeezing thousands of commercials in.

[@oppfordayz148]

Yea thats why nrl has a world cup and you dont😂🤦 make it make sense💀

[@warrenbridges1891]

Good on ya Jack Jackman. How much did the NRL,( fans) pay you for this?
