Rugby league chairman talks with Trump's office about attending NRL games, potential historic breakthrough for sport.
Rugby league supremo Peter V'landys has revealed his team has been chatting "backwards and forwards" with Donald Trump's office since he launched his audacious bid to lure the US president to this year's NRL games in Las Vegas.
V'landys, the chairman of the ARL Commission, also declared that if Trump popped up at Allegiant Stadium to watch the two matches it would mark "the biggest breakthrough for rugby league ever".
9News was at Sydney Airport on Tuesday morning to quiz V'landys on his ambitious pursuit, which even culminated in the heavy-hitter spruiking rugby league and inviting Trump to the games on breakfast television in America.
