Finally bit the bullet and booked everything. I was always 90% going but just needed to sit down and plan it all.
Leaving on the 27th and returning on the 9th. First time in the States. Wish me luck.
Was meant to go last year but something came up and had to cancel a few weeks before leaving.

Last few years I have had a problem with going to away games more than home games (I live in Penrith so all games are away games for me, some more than others).
Went to Leichhardt, Souths, Canberra, Melbourne, Parra, Townsville & St George plus all finals games last year and I think I only made it to two home games (Panthers & Tigers).
Need to make up for it this year... not a good start travelling halfway across the world. Plus I think I am going to the Perth & possibly the Townsville game in round 2.

Enjoy! There's some decent flight prices around.

I've just clocked that I am away in round 1 (over to Vic for a mates wedding) but with the Sharks game being the weekend before I can watch at my leisure still!

Few reports around that Dylan Edwards will be good to go for the panthers after off-season surgery

IF Toby is tracking similarly that could put him as being good for NRL return around a week later, given we aren't playing that week (that is the rest of round 1), there would be a decent chance he is cleared by Round 2

Haha I know you put IF in italics but somehow I don't reckon Toby is as good at rehab as someone like Edwards!

99% of the time I’d absolutely agree but if there was ever going to be an exception then Vegas round makes sense!

Because if the round 1 break he can still be a week longer than Edwards and make round 2 too, so it’s even more viable

And he probably knows the first half of the season is his last chance at the Sharks to shine.
