In scorching temperatures that would have put even the toughest front-rower to the test, the Sharks Members Christmas party kicked off in true rugby league style.
Despite the mercury soaring close to 40 degrees, the NRL squad and around 400 passionate supporters gathered at PointsBet Stadium, ready to embrace the festive season with unbridled enthusiasm.
Seeking refuge under the cool shelter of marquees, the players graciously signed autographs, posed for photos, and extended their heartfelt gratitude to the ever-supportive Members, who have been their rock in their journey towards 2024.
Not even the relentless heat could deter the arrival of Santa Claus, much to the joy of the youngsters enjoying the festivities.
The Junior Member Zone, complete with inflatable obstacles and guided footy drills, kept the kids entertained and filled the air with laughter and excitement.
With generous giveaways from Aramex and tantalizing prizes on Zambrero's 'spin-to-win' wheel, including their renowned chocolate brownies, the party was a complete hit.
And let's not forget the array of mouthwatering food and beverage outlets that kept the partygoers refreshed throughout the sweltering day.
The unwavering dedication of the staff ensured the safety of all attendees, making sure that everyone had the time of their lives.
