Stunning warm & sunny afternoon in Christchurch. Wee bit of wind but perfect afternoon for a final.

Looking forward to this one. Sold out really early this week so missed tickets.

Man that Bronco's game yesterday was insane! Feel bad for the Giants

Kia Kaha.

I give Otago a better than 50% chance. Form team of the comp and all. Only Advantage to Canterbury if it rains.

JPNZ

Canterbury set up a huge Grand Final in Christchurch next weekend vs Otago.

Canterbury thrash the magpies 43-19.

Hawkes bay being embarrassed in the 2nd semi tonight. Good guys up 36-14 with 10 to play.

JPNZ

Eagles getting pumped by their divisional rivals.

Hah, The NRL is strongly looking at moving back to daytime GF once the current TV deal ends in 26/27.

Was a fitting end to another great season. NRL has a brilliant product and even though I don't really like the Broncos I'm happy the title went somewhere else rather than Panthers or Storm.

Bring on 2026 already.

IMHO he has about a 10% chance mathmatically speaking

Started watching Wayward on Netflix. Its okay so far..

JPNZ

To give some perspective on the size of the stadium compared to the rest of the CBD

Looking westward towards the CBD

Looking North (note the southern 1/3rd is normal roofing, the northern part is clear)

JPNZ

Real stop start game that was hard to enjoy. Well done ABs it wasn’t pretty but it was effective.

JPNZ

This final 10 mins is going to be great. So good to have the bledisloe competitive again.

JPNZ

Great line out maul and try to the wobs.

JPNZ

This ref loves his whistle. Ruins the game

JPNZ

Well worked try to the wizard potter

JPNZ

Well worked try Wobblies. Seriously need to work on their line defense though.

JPNZ

Good try Roigard. 20-3 to the ABs

Guess most will be watching the Grand Final.

JPNZ

That was shocking from JOC

JPNZ

I see Season 5 of slow horses started this week.

I'm really struggling to find a decent series at the moment.

JPNZ

Good to see JOC back in gold.

JPNZ

I wonder if they deliberately scheduled the kick off to be at the time as the AFL grand final. Wouldn't have been better to have the normal 7pm kick off and have the whole tv audience of Oz watching as there would be no NRL at that time either? Haha this shows the complete fuckery of NZR. Why not p...

JPNZ

I like the sharks for an upset, they have just been on such a run.

Panthers v Broncos will be worthy of a Grand Final. Will be close but the pahs to edge it IMHO.

JPNZ

The roof and facade are now complete. Major construction, including the fit-out of the stands, landscaping works and seat installation, are on schedule to finish up by the end of the year. Attention will then turn to the comprehensive testing and commissioning programme and operator training which w...

just wasn't the ending I wanted for the Raiders. Fogarty two average games in a row, they need to fix that right side defense. Whether Sanders gets the role full time next year although I hear the Raiders are sniffing round Pezet from Storm.

JPNZ

Great defensive drive from Lawson to keep those cars with DRS behind him for most of the race. Career best finish to boot.

JPNZ

The Panthers shutting out the Falcons!

We’re buying the Diamond package because it’ll be well used . But 40 % is nothing for those that can afford it as there’s really no comparison between the two stadiums . I think that many new customers will be interested , which will make up for those that might struggle to get memberships . Luckil...

Roof is almost complete, still on track and on budget for April opening.

Bookies need to put down the pipe..

A Record week 1 of the finals for the NRL. Incredible numbers across the 4 matches Week 1 of Finals reached an average of 6.67m viewers across the 4 matches in Australia and NZ 2025 Week 1 of Finals saw a 21.7% increase on Finals Week 1 2024, making it the most watched week 1 of finals in the histor...

Are pokies still legal in NZ? I will be in West Auckland this November and would like to hit a West Auckland pub for a Lion Red and a genuine pokie session. The pokie must have an expired service date, dents in it from assaults, and smell of cigarettes and desperation. Can anyone recommend a good p...

Liked 28 Days Later Didn't think much of 28 Weeks Later Liked 28 Years later.. but strange ending... Agree. It was good, but the ending seemed like it belonged to another film and got edited in. Very odd. I guess the next one (which comes out in 2026?) will move from NE England to Scotland? Would a...

Saw F1 ' the movie' over the weekend. Surprisingly enjoyable, Brad Pitt plays Brad Pitt as the old seasoned racing warrior who is returning to F1 decades after a near fatal crash to help out his old beleaguered team manager friend and mentor the rookie hothead other driver. Great visuals and amazin...

If I was a Raiders fan I'd be gutted. I look forward to watching Ricky Stuart's post match presser.

Yep. Heartbreaking. Thought we had won it twice. Was an incredible game that had everything. Onto the sharks at home next week.

JPNZ

Hard luck Tasman. Canterbury very lucky.

Football fans are seeing more football than ever before. And it’s never been more unpredictable. As the finals approach, the NRL is celebrating the end of a regular season in which there has been an average of 56 minutes of ball in play. That’s the highest figure on record – more than a minute incr...

That was an amazing come back by Josh Allen and his crew. The 49ers finish was great to watch as well. Lots of games down to the wire. Yea a very good first week of action. Today's game should be great as well. I had the Bills to win but switched over when it was 40-25 with 5 mins left in the 4th. ...
