Daresay I'll be chillin' at Jackman's place though.
We’ll only stay a month
Almost worth it!!!
BTW this was rumoured back in my day, but you are looking at very big money to make it happen.
The travel costs ( everything) for each team will be around the $700-$800k , so it probably needs a two million benificiary for it to happen.

LA? Really? All those massive USA cities with great close-in rectangular stadiums in the city centre & they choose LA? Should go to Seattle.

I think you may be on to something. Many Hawaiians don't mind rugby union. So probably a bigger, or at least more enthusiastic, crowd if the game is played in Honolulu.Great if true, stop off in Hawaii to watch the monster winter waves on the Northshore, then cheer Manly on for a deserved win

So it could be possible that in one day you squeeze in a few barrels at Off the Wall before watching the game.

Maybe the NRL could put the same effort & money into promoting a Manly vs Souths game at Brookie one year. Or even a Manly home game vs Souths at a full house SFS or ANZ.

I'm a born spectator and happy to leave the effort to others with actual skills
But love watching the surf and have been lucky enough to be at Sunset a few times in January and feel the thud of the wave on the sand
Will definitely go along if Manly play in the US

I thought this thread was going to be about bringing back Greg Hartley!
Woodsie I live in LA and have not being home for ten years, so I will be first through the gate if they pull this off

I believe the reasons for LA are several in nature ... 1) Time zone means that the game can be broadcast back to Aust live in the afternoon .. 2) Crowe and Jackman have a possible ability to raise interest of both fans and sponsors in Hollywood. 3) weather 4) LA has a population of about 18/19 million compared to Seattle of about 3.5 million ...
PSS ... USA has only about 6/7 really big cities ... if you dropped Sydney into the states I think it would be about the 8th or 9th Largest city there ... it is nearly an entire country of smaller cities .... most state capitals are only about 300k - 400k ...

I agree, plus Seattle is even closer pour moi!
That'll be me, second in line. (Telling DHS that you've overstayed your visa!)
Just had an amusing thought ... ... amusing to me anyway ...
Any players with criminal records may be "injured" and unable to travel .... to save the embarrassment of having visas denied ....
In hindsight ... Lodge and Hayne were probably not the best ambassadors for the code ...

Might stop a few supporters making the journey too.
