The NRL has been in negotiations with the NZ government about playing the first Origin game on Kiwi soil in a few years’ time, however there is an unusual obstacle to overcome.
The NRL has asked the New Zealand government to seek an exemption from Auckland Council over a noise restriction policy that would prohibit a State of Origin game being played at Eden Park in 2027.
Given the time difference, the NRL wants to kick off an Auckland State of Origin game at 9.30pm local time to maximise the Australian television audience with a 7.30pm AEST kick-off. The 36 tickets he requested highlights just how significant of a moment it was for Crichton, given many people thought his football career, let alone representative career, could have been over after aUnder the rules in the collective bargaining agreement, each player is given six tickets to a game at a venue with a capacity of more than 60,000 , and four tickets to venues with a smaller capacity .
The cost of the extra tickets is taken out of each players’ $30,000 match payment, as well as any other unforseen expenses during their time in camp.Socceroos goalkeeper Mat Ryan was in the crowd with his friends on Wednesday night, a day after he was invited by the NSWRL to watch the team’s final training session and catch up with Blues coach Michael Maguire.
