The Sharks have landed in LA with their 22-man squad, ready to tackle their season-opening match against the Panthers in Las Vegas.
Departing Sydney yesterday, the team touched down in Los Angeles bright and early this morning, greeted by eager media at LAX at the crack of dawn.
After arriving in the City of Angels, the players wasted no time diving into the LA culture with a visit to the iconic Venice Beach.
Former NFL star Todd Gurley, who recently crossed paths with the team at Sharks Stadium during his Australian tour, made an appearance to welcome the squad to the West Coast.
The Sharks will be bunking down in LA for the next four days, gearing up for their upcoming match by training at the University of Southern California over the weekend before making their way to Vegas on Monday.
While the excitement of their US adventure is palpable, Captain Cameron McInnes and his squad are keeping their eyes firmly on the prize.
As they soak in the sights and sounds of LA, the Sharks are focused and determined to hit the ground running as they kick off their season in style against the Panthers.
Here's hoping they bring that Aussie fighting spirit to the Vegas showdown!
