American rugby sevens player Adam Channel says making an NRL debut would be on par with featuring at the Olympics after he was selected among four winners at the league's Las Vegas combine.
Channel, Marcus D'Acre, Renee Gonzalez and Maria Isabel Arzuaga Gonzalez were hand-picked from 50 entrants at the combine held in Vegas as part of the NRL's second trip to the US.
Each is in the running to receive a development deal at an NRL or NRLW club for 2025.
