That it is getting to the stage where academy teams in the NRL could beat the best super league teams.

Great publicity and I enjoyed watching the games on TV.
However Wigan, Hull and Leeds all lost their games when returning to the UK.
Coincidence? I think not.

We have learnt that we will likely lose the following match after returning.

Matty we went with Catalan Sports Tours and I can’t speak highly enough of them. It appears a lot to pay out but there was a full itinerary of events, many of which included meals and drinks. We paid £2,500 each for 3 nights in Sydney, flights up to Surfers Paradise where we spent 4 nights in a 4 star hotel, flights back to Sydney and another 3 nights there befor coming home. All transfers and top priced match tickets were included. Trips included in the price were trip to Coogee Beach, watching Souths train, NRL museum, Bondi Beach with BBQ, outback Australia night (a bit like a rodeo), Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin), a catamaran cruise to Stadbrook Island (food included), Sydney Harbour RL legends cruise with 4hrs drinks and food. The speakers were Craig Fitzgibbon, Royce Simmons, Michael Maguire, Laurie Daley and Pat Richards, all hosted by Stevo!
It was fabulous and in my view great value for money. Spent about £800 but could have spent less.

I wouldn’t hesitate to go with them again! It was so well organised and the hotels were in prime locations.

You lucky devil!
If your budget can stretch to the organised activities I believe that it is the best way to do it so good on you.
Couldn't make the 2014 trip or this years but will every effort to make the next "tour" as I am sure that will almost occur again.

I was very lucky indeed mate but it came with mixed emotions to be honest. My Mum died in June last year and my Dad struggled with it after being married for just short of 50 years. The trip was announced shortly after the funeral and my Dad wanted to do it as it gave him something positive to focus on so he used what little savings he had and paid for us both to go, with the ‘can’t take it with you’ attitude. It was 2 weeks of creating amazing memories with my Dad that I’ll never forget and will always appreciate. The rugby was an added bonus but I’d obviously have preferred for my Mum to still be with us. I’m sure she’d have been proud that my Dad did something meaningful though!

As I said, for any 1st timers, I’d highly recommend Catalan Sports Tours, they were spot on!
