I hope you enjoyed the video! This was one of the best atmospheres we have ever experienced. As I am a Southampton (Football), London Irish (Union), Sydney Swans (AFL), especially the first two are pretty rubbish so I just need one team to do well! I then went to the Super League Grand Final (English Rugby League), and NRL Trumps its easily in terms of performance, excitement, atmosphere etc. Remember it is $13 AUD not USD :)
This was the cast of Tina Turner the stage musical. Fun fact: Tina was contracted to create an NRL campaign promo using the song 'Simply the Best' which was the 2nd and most successful campaign back in 1993. She is synonymous with bringing rugby league back on the map in Australia and this year was the 30th anniversary. Unfortunately her untimely death earlier this year would have put the spanner in the works as I'm sure she would have been the one to perform at the Grand Final this year. Her first NRL campaign promo was in 1989 with the song What You See Is What You Get.
Rugby Union and Rugby League are two different codes with different rules. Australia is huge on the world stage in Rugby League, New Zealand is huge in Rugby Union.
I watch Rob and Charlie they are good people and they came to Australia last year and went to the AFL grand final with the Sydney Swans,who they supported. Remember this is Rugby league not Rugby Union. Dar if you haven't seen it yet have a look a Rugby's biggest hits " Till i Collapse" it's all Rugby League hits good video, the Rugby videos you reacted to was all Rugby Union not League "Till i Collapse" video 👍.
Dar, the NRL is coming to the USA . In March 2024 There will be two games played in Las Vegas to kick off the new season. Get your tickets for a great show.
I’m a big Broncos fan and I was absolutely gutted when Penrith came back. I almost smashed my TV because back then Broncos were a force to be reckoned with, the new players kind of made the team fall off, however they’re back and very strong. Still good game to the Panthers. It was a good game to watch.
My nephew Phillip Bradford, (from Newcastle, NSW, Australia), is contracted to play Rugby Union for the Utah Warriors Rugby Union Club for the 2024 season. They play in the US/Canada Major League Rugby comp. Keep an eye out for him.
Biggest comeback in grand final history. First time in 40 years since a team won 3 finals in a row. It’s not supposed to happen since they introduced a salary cap, but the panthers did it 🐾🐾 definitely watch the highlights Dar. It will show just how good Nathan Cleary was in the last 20 mins. He was shit in the first 20 mins of the second half though lol. Also don’t forget there is rugby league and rugby union. Union is usually just called rugby and league is football or NRL.
The reason we had a Tina Turner Tribute is because Tina led the 1989 NRL campaign with ‘What you get is what you see’, then she did it again in 1990 with ‘Simply the Best’. She is a part of the Australian NRL community.
Please understand that there are two forms of "Rugby" ... Rugby Union (15 person game) and Rugby League (13 person game). They may look similar to the uninitiated but they are very different. When Australians refer to "Rugby" it is the Union version. When they want to refer to Rugby League, it is mostly referred to as "League", or by its full name, Rugby League. We never call it Rugby when we are talking about League. Their rivalry as opposing codes goes back to the 1890s. Union may be the bigger world game of the two but League is by far the more popular in Australia.
Sadly not Tina Turner, she died shortly before the Grand Final. She did sing at the Grand Final in 1993 I think. One of her songs was part of a huge promotional campaign for NRL in the early 90's, which was when the NRL came together in Australia from fragmented football groups. She was very loved and respected among NRL fans from the early 90's. Great person she was, sad she's not with us anymore. The opening show was a tribute to her and her contribution to the sport.
Tina Turner became the face of Rugby League in Australia in the late 80's early 90s'. performing at grand finals and promos during the seasons. She had a huge following here and performed with our big name like Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham
Hi Dar. The stadium is the one built for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Tina Turner sang Simply The Best with Jimmy Barnes as promotional song for the NRL in 1993. Tina Turner past away May 2023. RIP the lovely Tina Turner. The performance pre game was by Tina Turner the musical production
A couple of the opening 2024 NRL round game's are played in Las Vagas in a few months if you truly wanna see the best rugby league competition IN THE WORLD in you're home country live. P.S Please don't call Rugby league/NRL Rugby...Rugby is short for rugby union,this is RUGBY LEAGUE!
The bloke on the floor lost to panthers in his previous team in 2021 the Rabbitohs, so to loose 2 nrl grand finals in different teams versing the same team just years apart is a little heartbreaking. But UP THE PAHS!!!!!
So Tina Turner passed away in 2023 but she was the entertainment for the 1993 and they have a Tina Turner Musical called TINA which was starting so as a 30 year anniversary from her original performance and as tribute to her passing the entertainment was a tribute act.... I'll also say I can't agree with them about the view, if you're in the upper deck at Accor it feels like you're a mile away
What makes me laugh is he has no idea about the game but sits there like he's an expert & goes to a game every week. Reminds me of American's talking about cricket & try telling us in the cricketing world about our game
This is called Rugby league not Rugby. When we say Rugby we refer to Rugby Union not Rugby League. Similar games but different. Union is a running game as to keep the ball moving as in League its a lot of stop start play.
League does not have a lot of stop start 😂 union has more stops due to scrums, line outs, penalties etc. League seems like stop start and slower because the defence has to get back 10m and attacking teams have to play the ball. League for my opinion is more entertaining because they go for tries and barely take penalty kicks and always go for tries where as union, any penalty they get inside the other 50 most likely is being kicked at goal. Each to their own though.. both entertaining when games are played by both elite teams
@@matthewharris4849 Anyone like me who follows rugby league more than union because they are very different sports and I don’t like people thinking league is the same as union
That was a Tina Turner tribute bro coz she died in May last year. She was huge in Australia and was the voice of Rugby League in the early 90s when I was a kid. Her song 'Simply the Best' was used as the league anthem. God I miss those days.
Everyone except Panthers fans would of been happy if the Broncos had of got the job done by a bit cus that was the panthers third grand final win in a row and its annoying.
Panthers my team ❤ should of seen Panthers club after the game. Is say half of Penrith was down there going off. Lets see next year if we can do it again and make it 4 in a row premiers 😎
The video you watched was a rugby “league” grand final, you have to realise when saying rugby, everyone will think you are talking about rugby union, as that’s what rugby is referring to, The NRL or just rugby league is a different sport, similar yes, but still a completely different sport, in fact rugby league is better then rugby.
Tina Turner is dead now. It was a woman singing to be like her doing a tour in Australia. Simply the best song years ago was the song that the NRL made their promotional song by for the game.
Man, it was really good to see your appreciation of the game and the coverage by those two Poms. but you need to get your face out of the video and show the game. you can put a voice-over and text, whatever you like. but your face dominated the screen.
