Nope but similar to you I did go to Balmain Leagues to watch. Thankfully I was still living at Leichhardt at the time.
Will you go to Vegas ?

Not a massive Vegas fan but I suppose I’ll consider it as a once in a lifetime thing. Sydney-Vegas direct flights might help although it may ultimately be cheaper to go via Melbourne.

I think it was buffet breakfast transfers flights tickets to the game nothing else
Haven't been but I hear Vegas is ridiculously expensive.
Coffee like 16 dollars

Not really bro . You learn quick that a main meal is basically like dinner for 2 , as is USA sizing , so I found myself ordering entrees a lot , and medium coffees . Also the coffee is gross , so most of the time you’re going without anyway .

The Wests Tigers have officially entered the race for Las Vegas next year, seemingly leaving the Dolphins and Gold Coast Titans locked in a south-east Queensland stoush for the final seat on the plane for the season opener.
Sources confirmed to Sport Confidential that the Tigers had informed the NRL that they wanted to be considered for the fourth edition of the Vegas extravaganza.
Parramatta and Melbourne are believed to be already locked in for Vegas after offering to take home games to Allegiant Stadium.
The remaining two spots are up for grabs but the Tigers’ decision to escalate their interest could be a sign that they have one foot on the plane.
That would leave the Dolphins and Titans locked in a battle for the fourth and final spot. Both clubs have made no secret of their desire to play in Vegas - the Titans had staff in Sin City this year to carry out reconnaissance in preparation for next year.

I doubt parra would want their home against us in Vegas as it’s a big $ game in Sydney .
Which would mean we get to break Bellamy’s rd 1 record in Vegas . How good 👍

I love how they are desperate for us to go that they’ll make the other teams fight it out for the last spot. We’re a popular bunch
So basically a round 2 bye next year...awesome

18 teams next year . Probably no byes in rd 2 .
The NRL cannot expect the vegas teams to play a week after playing in Vegas.
Theres always 2 weeks between rd 1 & 2 for those teams.
Thats what I meant

Yes Round 1 spans 2 weekends ( some call Vegas round 0 )
This year the cowboys played Vegas on March 1 & round 2 at Leichhardt on March 14 .
Not a great way for any team to start a season...

Well what they should do is repeat how did it in year 1 of Vegas
Vegas was
Manly v Souths
Roosters v Broncos
Then rd 2 ( 2 weeks later )
Broncos v Souths
Manly v Roosters
So the 4 Vegas teams swapped opponents making it an even playing field for them .
They went away from that in years 2 & 3 for some reason .
This year they gave a big leg up to the bulldogs by giving them a bye in rd 2 .

I have no doubt the Tigers will give up one of their home games even though two others are prepared to… it’s what they do
