Longest Rugby League Game On Record

[ShaneO85]

Can anybody tell me what the longest game on record is?

I know the Super League Tri Series Final held the title for quite some time after it lasted for 107 minutes but i had a feeling i heard of a longer game a year or so back.

One of our local finals lasted 110 minutes on Saturday night before it was called and sent to a mid week replay. I'm interested to know how long it would have needed to continue to take out the record.

If anyone can enlighten me would be fantastic as googling didn't seem to give me an answer.

cheers.

Tigers and Roosters in the semi final a few years back. I thought that was the longest.

Lower grade grand final a couple of years ago went for about 110 minutes from memory

Usually any game that Nine telecasts on delay seems to be the longest ever in the history of the game.

i think tigpies vs chooks was 97 minutes from what i saw the other day... longest 'NRL' match... wondering if there are ESL or lower div finals or anything that anyone knows of...

2008 NSW Cup Grand Final was the match I was thinking of. 104 minutes and about 1,000 field goal shots

Pretty sure the SL Tri Series final is the longest.

Haha I remember watching that, players were dropping like flies with cramps all over the field.

Not sure about the longest but the shortest was when the Storm played at Olympic Park ;-)

Hmmm. James Maloney at halfback for Wentworthville and captain at 22. Why would they let him go. Parra's halves that were used that year were Smith, Finch, K Keating and Mateo. Good talent identification once again by Parra

You could name a rep quality side of players they have let go over the years

Hagan didn't rate Maloney...

Hagan didn't rate Maloney...

So we signed him.
