Just booked 2 nights in Southview Guest Housr

Re: Australia trip logistics : Mon Jul 31, 2017 5:28 pm  

Any idea when the NRL season starts ?? Ideally would like to stay another week & take in a couple more games/grounds/cities.

Won't be an option IF 2 or 3 weeks after our double header. Are our games the same weekend as the 7's tournament ?

We booked last night. Flights leaving Manchester on the 7th and returning on the 18th were £670 with minimal lay ups and an apartment with private bathroom (so many have shared bathrooms!) for 10 nights was £1085 making it just £1212.50 each. We're going to hire a car too so we have the freedom to get around and down to Wollongong.

189 sleeps!!!!

Neither the 9's tornament or the all stars games are going ahead next year mate. St George always play Souths a week before the season starts in the charity shield so the season could KO on the 9th.

I have attended this match every year since it began in 1982. Wasn't played in 2000 and 2001 as Souths were not in the competition. Also pick a match to attend on the first day of the rugby league season having done so since 1967.

At the risk of getting slaughtered but here goes !.
I`m thinking of going but family & friends etc cant make it for various reasons.

So it was suggested why dont I ask on here if any other billy no mates are thinking of going but like me they
don`t fancy travelling alone.
