Now we've returned from the Bye, goldcoastfc.com.au brings you a snapshot of how the players spent their few days off.

20-year old Touk Miller treated Instagram to his aborable new little friend. We envisage future play-dates with other furry members of the SUNS family, such as Mitch Hallahan's husky Floyd.

I want to introduce you to my new best mate Alfred #cuteaf #bosshunting

Speaking of cute, Henry Schade and Brayden Fiorini were hands-down outshone by their newphews in these pics.

Sightseeing and catching up with family and friends was high on the agenda of just about all of the players.

After four days of recharging, the boys suited up for the annual Women of the SUNS Ladies Lunch, where they shared the afternoon with 400 of the Gold Coast's most vibrant women.

And it turns out only one day of looking sharp wasn't enough for Trent McKenzie, Mitch Hallahan and Brandon Matera, who attended the Gold Coast Community Fund Race Day on Saturday.
