MANLY go to Hollywood ..

[Woodsie]

Today's tele has an article claiming Manly and Souths to kick off 2019 with a game in L.A.

Hugh Jackman and Rusty Crowe to face off in the build up promotion ...

Sounds good to me ....

Edit ..... not yet confirmed ... planning stages only

Is it a Manly home game or away game?*

If it’s an away game, we might win it.

*Let’s face it, the Northern Beaches are a little closer to LA than the South Sydney district.

But glooooooooooooooooooobal, there's a paaaaaaaaaaaaaaywaaaaaaaaaaaall....

ffs


RUSSELL Crowe versus Hugh Jackman.

It’s not the makings of the next Marvel movie but a rugby league dream the NRL hope to turn into a reality.

Discussions are well advanced for a blockbuster showdown between South Sydney and Manly to open the NRL season in the US next year.

It would be the first time an NRL match has been played outside of Australia or New Zealand. The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that the Crowe-owned Rabbitohs are likely to face Manly, whose most famous supporter is X-Men star Jackman.

The NRL hope they can use the pulling power of the Hollywood superstars to increase interest in the match and reach a new audience for the code.

The Melbourne Storm were originally slated to take on the Rabbitohs but Manly have now emerged as the likely opponents. It is understood the match will be a Manly home game.
