The NRL grand final for 2015 is here. After 26 hard rounds of rugby league and three finals weeks, you deserve a treat. Why not indulge in the NRL Grand Final 2015 Drinking Game?
Follow the guide below to good times, perfect for the neutral and couldn’t-give-a-stuff alike, or for anyone looking to add a little more to their day than a footy game – i.e. most of New South Wales.
Step 1
Purchase a very cheap, generic beer. Recommended is Powers Gold or any 30 pack of cans. Even better, pick up some cleanskins. Why not add a little mystery to the shindig?
The worse the beer, the bigger the punishment, and it’s all about punishment today. You are likely to need at least half a carton per man.
Step 2
Choose a side to support and a seating apparatus that suits.
Step 3
Decide on the ‘penalty nip vessel’. This could be a standard nip glass, port glass, a precise half egg cup, a half clean Vegemite jar, or whatever else. We suggest and recommend the precise half egg.
Step 4
Hand out the following punishments based on events during the game (note that all punishments double in golden point.
Opposition try – 4 x penalty nips
Opposition goal – 2 x penalty nips
Your team error – 1 x penalty nip
Your team penalty – 1 x penalty nip
Your team player on report – 2 x penalty nips
Your team forced to dropout – 1 x penalty nip
Your team interchanges – 1 x penalty nip
* all punishments double in golden point
Additional Channel 9 punishments (1 x penalty nip for each):
One for every minute the kick off is delayed until after the NRL advertised starting time
Gus says “wow”
Anytime the commentators mention the phrase “all Queensland final”
An ad for a Channel 9 show pops up mid coverage and double if any of the commentators claim to like it
Brett Finch contributes anything useful
Anytime there is an uncomfortable silence from fellow commentators after something Wally Lewis says.
Powerplay: Each player gets a five-minute period where they call doubles on each other player, with only one powerplay at a time.
Golden time: Each player nominates a player from any side who doubles any punishment.
Make a day of it by including the Toyota Cup and State Championship too, although given the way the Ipswich Jets throw the ball around it may not be advisable if you intend to make it to the NRL grand final.
