10pm tonight even with the time difference.

Re: WCC18 | Melbourne Storm v Leeds Rhinos : Mon Nov 13, 2017 9:55 pm  

Leeds have already shot their load on twitter.

So a 8pm kick off Australian time means a 9am on a Friday start in the UK.

Awaiting the club to confirm a beam back for the game now, £5/£10 pp. they’d definitely sell I think.

They'd sell much better on a Saturday or Sunday when most people aren't at work. Hosting Friday just adds to how pointless this game is, if Leeds do somehow manage to win and give SL a shot in the arm then a large proportion of your target audience won't even see it.

Not got a lot of time off work?

Here's he best deal at the moment for £700

Leave Manchester at 13:10 on Wednesday, lay up in Dubai for 2.5 hours and arrive in Melbourne at 23:20 on Thursday night
Returns from Tullamarine at 06:00 on Saturday morning and back in Manchester at 07:00 on Sunday with a rather long 13 hour lay up in Dubai.

That's available on Skyscanner right now and probably won't be there for that long.

That just a technical Thursday night stay in the hotel and then straight to airport after the game?

Im considering flying Sat before landing Sunday with game on the Friday night and flying back the following day. Flights £650 on Skyscanner.

I do similar each year to go watch NFL in America.

Not sure if i will do it but certainly thinking about it.

Best part of 48 hours in cattle class for a meaningless friendly - you really have to be committed

You can look at it as a meaningless friendly or you can look at it as a great holiday and a chance to see an amazing city like Melbourne which will give memories for a lifetime.

The choice is upto you.
