Yea, No point taking a punt on him this week.

Me too, he's got some talent, thats for sure. Interesting to see how he fairs against Watmough on the right hand side.

Nah, i'm not going. You?

Yeah I'll be there bud, can't see the attendence being as high as last years, the drive will be a nightmare on a Friday night.

Looks like i'll have to make do with Hull Cas

If you jump on a flight now you'll get here in time, I've got a spare room

As much as id love to, the missus would be pretty peeved

but thanks for the offer.

Is it long car journey to away games then? As you know Yorkshire games are no more then an hour and Lancashire area 2+ hours, whats it like down under?

Alot of the interstate games are from 5 to 25k away so not a bad drive or that hard on public transport.

Penrith 55k
Gosford 80k (souths play one home game a year)
Newcastle 160k
Canberra 280k
Are a bit of a pain
But Brisbane, Gold Coast, North Queensland, Melbourne, Auckland and Perth are all flights, but this season we don't play Melbourne, Gold Coast or North Queensland away.

Thats not too bad, thought they'd be alot further away...
whats the atmospheres like?

At the smaller grounds it's pretty good but there's no real songs.

Just watched the Cowboys / Storm game . The wheels fell off Melbourne's band wagon ,Can't take nothing away from the Cowboys performance though with a great team performance all-round with Bowen rolling back the years with a couple of good tries.

Ive noticed too at most home games alot of the fans have the same baseball cap on, thousands of them...Are they freebies with season passes or something?

Yes mate, at souths we get a cap and a key ring. The juniors get a ball and a rucksack.

Pretty good quality as well.
