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.

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. ...

Just back from 3 weeks in Queensland and managed to fit in 3 rounds amongst a lot of travel. Meadowbrook golf course in Gold Coast, decent enough track just ruined by potentially the slowest pace of play I've ever experienced in over 100 rounds. Back nine especially was abysmal on a Friday afternoon...

Just to clarify a little. Sky still has all NPC live. TVNZ+ will be showing games but not much mentioned about live or delayed. TVNZ 1 or 2 so terrestrial TV will have 3 games a week (these won’t be live afaik and chocka with adverts one would imagine). The elephant in the room is the rumours swirli...

So very happy as a Raiders fan. Written off by most pre game. The kids just have no fear, Ethan Strange could be a generational talent.

Found this buried in the NZRU PR statement. Up to five offshore All Blacks and Black Ferns Test matches respectively across the 2026 to 2030 period are not included in the domestic broadcast agreement. These matches provide NZR with the flexibility to generate significant additional income if confir...

Breaking news in no real surprise Sky NZ has NZ rugby rights till 2030 with NPC being sideloaded onto TVNZ+ streaming service. NZRU taking the hit from the previous $110 million per year to somewhere between $75-$80 million per year for the next 5 years. Interesting it says AB and WAB matches in SAN...

DDP absolutely dominated by Borz. Not even in the same fight, DDP barely touched him over 5 rounds.

Chimaev 5 rounds to 0. Scores of 50-44, 50-44, 50-44. One of the most one sided title fights I’ve ever seen.

The fight above is this Sunday. Should be a great card. MMA news is awash with the Paramount+ news which effectivley does away with the PPV portion of UFC. Paramount, days after finalizing its merger with production studio Skydance, said Monday it will pay $7.7 billion for exclusive U.S. broadcast r...

No word on where but Crusaders HQ just posted that Tom Christie is off the Crusaders. Sad news his tackle stats and fitness will be missed. Reportedly to Newcastle in England I'm seeing.

Templeton has about 0.2% chance of winning IMHO, far too polarising for those that actually vote in local elections.

There is also around 1500-2000 in Hotel capacity under construction in the city due for completion in the next 12 to 24 months. Average occupancy is around 64% in 24/25.

Considering this will be the 1st weekend the public get to go inside, it would sell out 3 times over IMHO. In 2 years time after the stadium has lost its novelty probably not..

ChatGPT tells that Christchurch hotels’ total capacity is less than 7k people, so hopefully the locals are keen to support the 6 games over the weekend. Funny you say that as its been all the news in the last 2 weeks. May pay to go further than just hotels... Christchurch has a metric shit tonne of...

I reckon getting tickets is going to be a real challenge for next year. Securing tickets wasn't something I was previously worried about with Super Rugby when it was in Melbourne :( Even with a lot of contacts here in Christchurch I know I'll be struggling to get on the presale.

Early reports said the Brumbies, Tahs and Reds will be playing so odds on the Force miss out with a bye.

It will sell out all 3 days guranteed

Stray fact: I never knew Australian football had been played in NZ until I read about in the NZ rugby museum in Palmerston North. Funny you say that, Christchurch is the strongest area of AFL in NZ was founded in 1974. Winning 4 of the last 5 national titles. Christchurch has 4 men’s teams that pla...

I sorta wish I grew up in Christchurch rather than Auckland. It's the perfect size for a town. My favourite towns in England are about the same size. Not too big, and beaches and mountains close by. I really got a nice feel from the place when I visited. Your're not the only one, North Islanders ar...

Is there plenty of parking in ChCh? I remember parking in a multi story there in 2007. Not sure it still exists. There are around 33,000 car parks in the CBD with around 14,000 avalible during weekdays and more on weekends. There is also plans to run commuter rail in for big match weekends. Private...

That not one person on the board can say anything negative about?

My wife owns a diesel vehicle and pays RUCs. We got pulled over late last year on the way to Auckland, I was driving and I got a speeding ticket. :x She had run out of RUCs and literally purchased more on her phone whilst I was speaking to the cop (he didn't check the RUCs). So it's pretty easy to ...
