Quotes attributable to Minister for Major Events, Brent Potter:

“The Territory Labor Government and NRL’s partnership brings the hugely popular sport to the Territory, so fans can catch a top-tier game without having to travel interstate.

“We also see thousands of travelling fans head to Darwin to see the match, with 18 per cent of attendees to the 2023 ANZAC Round being from interstate, which is especially great for our tourism and hospitality sectors.

“Make sure to get to the ground early, there is always plenty to enjoy before and during the game, including live music, roving entertainment and a mascot race at half time.”

Quotes from Parramatta Eels Captain Clint Gutherson:

“We’re really excited to travel up to the NT again this year, our home away from home. It’s a great opportunity for us to meet our fans and mingle with them.

“We’d love to play in front a full house at TIO Stadium, and looking forward to seeing everyone at captain’s run and the signing session.”
