Why is Aaron Woods promoting the NRL in Las Vegas? That's the question Roosters hooker Brandon Smith - and many fans - posed this week as Woods, Campbell Graham (South Sydney), Spencer Leniu (Roosters) and Billy Walters (Brisbane) did the rounds in Sin City, promoting the NRL's double-header season opener in March.
The veteran Sea Eagles prop and Campbell were interviewed by America's Fox Sports during the halftime break in the Raiders-Vikings NFL game, with some fairly tame NRL match vision showing as overlay. Speaking on the James Graham Bye Round podcast, Smith said with a laugh: "Aaron Woods, I think a highlight got played and he was talking about explosive football and all these big collisions."
