A city that lives and breathes the rugby league
If you have been before, you know: Newcastle lives and breathes the weekend.
From the fans out of St James to the buzzing streets of the city, fans flood from all clubs. In all the places you look at, you will see fans with cloths, singing songs and flags flying.
It’s not just about games, but people, laughs, drama, community. We always say this is a community game.
The magical weekend is not just a list of accessories, it is an experience.
2025 is forming one of the elders still with the table of the Superliga that seems to have ended closer than ever. Bring your colors, bring your voice, bring your passion, because magic is almost here.
