MANLY TO TAKE NRL GAMES TO CHRISTCHURCH

Via Walco Events

Rugby League’s premier competition is set to return to Christchurch with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles taking a home match to AMI Stadium for at least the next two years.

The Sea Eagles have committed to bringing their home game to Christchurch in the 2018 and 2019 seasons with an option for 2020 additionally.

With their strong Christchurch and New Zealand connections, the Sea Eagles are confident they will replicate the sell-out crowd the Penrith Panthers attracted against the New Zealand Warriors in 2016.

Current Sea Eagles player Lewis Brown is a former Riccarton Knights junior, while former Kiwis and Canterbury legend Quentin Pongia is in charge of Player Welfare.

Current New Zealand International Martin Taupau and 2018 signing from the Warriors, Toff Sipley, will also be prominent in this fixture in years to come.
