Imagine being there as 80,000 passionate fans pack the stadium, the pre-game entertainment lights up the stage and the best two teams in the competition battle it out for premiership glory. It's an experience most rugby league fans only dream about.

The best part? Entering couldn't be easier. Just purchase a schooner of Tooheys New, XXXX Gold, Stone & Wood or Hahn 3.5% during the promotion period and you'll receive an entry into the draw.

Father's Day at the Hastings
This Father’s Day, skip the socks and give Dad what he really wants - a proper pub lunch, a cold drink and a few hours of relaxing!
Because Dad deserves a little extra love, every dad who dines with us will receive a drink on the house!
Our chef is also serving up a Father's Day special: slow cooked lamb shank with creamy mashed potato and greens. Tender, hearty and made for a chilly early spring day. Even better with a glass of red or a schooner in hand, sitting by the fire.
Bring the family, settle in and let us take care of lunch or dinner while Dad enjoys his day.
