The Black Sox will be hosted in the Corporate Lounge in the East Stand where some of them will be interviewed by MC Gordon Gibbons. The team members will also be brought onto the field to be introduced to the crowd.
This Sunday you can make the most of our game day specials starting with our latest ticket offer. Buy five tickets for just $50 (more details below) and, thanks to major sponsor Woodstock, we are also offering a game day drink special – Woodstock’s new ‘Easy Roller’ drink for just $6 (it’s Woodstock with a refreshing twist).
At halftime four finalists from Flava’s ‘Hunt for the Warrior’ competition will compete in an obstacle course chasing the prize of the ultimate rugby league weekend in Sydney hosted by Flava’s Wake-Up Call hosts Sela, Pua and Tarsh.
Don’t forget to check out our Harvey Norman Community Fun Zone where Flava will be parked. Get temporary tattoos or take a photo with a Vodafone Warrior in our popular photo booth. Try signs will also be given out to be waved during the match.
This round is also the second to last home game before we announce the winner for our Suzuki Ultimate Road Warrior giveaway. It’s not too late to enter the draw with the winner announced at our last home game of the season against the Manly Sea Eagles on Sunday, August 27 (4.00pm kick-off).
Post-match head to SKYCITY for a ‘Meet the Team’ after-match function at Andy’s Burgers and Bar.
Other game day features will include our much-anticipated mini mod games, the Canterbury of New Zealand T-shirt cannon, the official Ray White Coin Toss and much more.

Flava’s halftime entertainment
‘Hunt for the Warrior’ is a competition run by Flava offering a chance to win the ultimate rugby league weekend in Sydney. Participants had to find life-sized Vodafone Warriors cut outs placed in various locations around the country (Auckland, Tauranga, Rotorua, Hawke’s Bay, Whangarei, Taranaki and Dunedin), take a selfie and upload to Facebook hash tagging #FLAVAHUNT.
The four finalists from around the country will be flown to Auckland to take on an obstacle course hosted Flava’s Wake-Up call team. Should be great fun to watch.
