Регби лигасы бәсекесі
Rugby league competition
2002 жылғы NRL маусымы – Австралиядағы кәсіби регби лигасының 95-ші маусымы және Ұлттық регби лигасы басқарған бесінші маусымы болды. Маусымға Кентербери Банкстаун Булдогстың жалақы төлемақы шегін бұзуының анықталуы әсер етті, нәтижесінде олар NRL турнир кестесінің ең төменгі сатысына түсірілді. Осының салдарынан Жаңа Зеландия "Уорриорз" командасы тұңғыш рет кіші лигада жеңіске жетіп, тұңғыш рет финалдық матчқа өтті, онда негізгі клуб саналатын Сидней "Рустерс" командасымен кездесіп, 27 жылдың ішінде алғаш рет жеңіс тұтып, чемпион атанды.
The 2002 NRL season was the 95th season of professional rugby league football in Australia and the fifth to be run by the National Rugby League. The season was affected by the competition leading Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs' salary cap breach finding, which saw them relegated to the bottom of the NRL ladder. As a result, the New Zealand Warriors won their first minor premiership and made it to the grand final for the first time, playing against foundation club the Sydney Roosters who won the match and collected their first premiership in 27 years.
Маусым алды
2002 жылдың ақпан айында Ұлттық регби лигасының құқықтық және бизнес мәселелері жөніндегі директоры Дэвид Галлоп Дэвид Моффеттің орнын басып, NRL бас атқарушы директоры болып тағайындалды. Бронкос және Марунс командаларының легендарлы жартылай қорғаушысы Аллан Лангер Англиядан Брисбен клубында кәсіби карьерасының соңғы маусымын өткізу үшін оралды. Осылайша ол 36 жас 60 күндік шамасында 2002 жылғы маусымда NRL-дің ең үлкен жастағы ойыншысы атанды.
In February 2002 the National Rugby League's Director of Legal and Business Affairs, David Gallop, was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the NRL, succeeding David Moffett. The legendary Broncos and Maroons halfback, Allan Langer, returned from England to play his final season of professional football with the Brisbane club. In doing so he became the NRL's oldest player for the 2002 season at 36 years and 60 days.
Оңтүстік Сиднейдің оралуы
Клуб 1999 жылғы маусымнан кейін NRL-ден шыққаннан кейін, жанкүйерлер мен регби лигасының кең қауымдастығы Оңтүстік Сидней Rabbitohs клубын NRL жарысына қайта қосуға тырысып бақты. Екі жылдық лоббилеуден кейін, 2001 жылы Оңтүстік Сиднейге сот шешімі оңтайлы болды. 2002 жылдың 15 наурызында Оңтүстік Сидней клубы NRL маусымын ұзақ жылдар бойы қарсылас болған Сидней Ростерс клубымен өз алаңындағы матчпен ашты, нәтижесі 40-6 болды. Бұл Оңтүстік Сидней үшін қиын жыл болды, өткізілген 24 матчтың тек бесеуінде ғана жеңіске жетті.
Following the club's departure from the NRL after the 1999 season, there was a continuing push from both fans and the wider rugby league community to reinstate the South Sydney Rabbitohs into the NRL competition. After two unsuccessful years of lobbying, South Sydney finally received a court ruling in their favour in 2001. On 15 March 2002, the South Sydney club opened the NRL season with a home match against long time rivals, the Sydney Roosters, losing badly, 40 6. It turned out to be a tough year for South Sydney, winning only five matches from 24 played.
Командалар
2002 жылғы маусымда Премьер-лигаға қатысатын командалар саны 14-тен 15-ке дейін көбейді, себебі Оңтүстік Сидней Rabbitohs қайта қосылды. Бұл 1995 жылғы ARL маусымынан бері Премьер-лига командаларының саны алғаш рет өскен болатын, онда Окленд Уорриорз, Солтүстік Квинсленд Каубойы, Оңтүстік Квинсленд Крушерлері және Батыс Редс командаларының саны 16-дан 20-ға дейін өсті.
The number of teams contesting the Premiership increased for the 2002 season from 14 to 15 due to the re inclusion of the South Sydney Rabbitohs. It was the first time the number of Premiership teams had increased since the 1995 ARL season when the introduction of the Auckland Warriors, North Queensland Cowboys, South Queensland Crushers and Western Reds saw the number of teams increase from 16 to 20.

The number of teams contesting the Premiership increased for the 2002 season from 14 to 15 due to the re inclusion of the South Sydney Rabbitohs. It was the first time the number of Premiership teams had increased since the 1995 ARL season when the introduction of the Auckland Warriors, North Queensland Cowboys, South Queensland Crushers and Western Reds saw the number of teams increase from 16 to 20.

Негізгі маусым
2002 жылы, 2001 жылы болғандай, NRL жарнамасын Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney компаниясы жүргізді. Алдыңғы маусымдағы сияқты, үлкен бюджеттік маусымдық іске қосылу жарнамалық кампаниясы болмады. NRL маркетингтік шығындарын маусым бойы жеке турлар мен клубтарды жарнамалайтын газет жарнамаларымен, сондай-ақ маңызды ойындарды насихаттайтын қарапайым телеарна жарнамаларымен кеңейтуге бағытталды. "Булдогс" клубы қатарынан 17 ойын жеңіп, 18 ойынды жеңіліссіз аяқтады, бұл клуб тарихындағы рекордты көрсеткіш. Дегенмен, жалақы төлемақы шегін өтеуі үшін олардан 37 премьерлік ұпай шегерілді, бұл премьерлік тарихындағы ең көп ұпай шегерілген жағдай. Осыдан кейін клуб маусым басындағы екі ойында жеңіске жетіп алған төрт ұпаймен ғана қалды. Жалақы төлемақы дауынан кейін маусымның соңғы екі турындағы жеңістерінен тағы төрт ұпай қосылды. Жаңа Зеландиялық "Уорриорз" клубы 8 жылдық тарихында тұңғыш рет кіші премьер-лига жеңіп алды және алғаш рет ірі финалға өтті. "Уорриорз" маусымның басым бөлігінде көшбасшы болған жоқ, тек 26-турдың соңында ғана турнир кестесінде бірінші орынға шықты. Джон Хопоате 2002 жылы доппен 3976 метр қашықтықты жүгірді, бұл бәсекедегі кез келген ойыншыдан көп. Маусым соңында NRL төрешілерінің бапкері Питер Луис лауазымынан кетті. 2023 жылғы мәліметтерге сәйкес, 2002 жыл - "Мельбурн Сторм" жеткілікті ойын жеңіп алмағандықтан финалға қатыса алмаған соңғы маусым. Бірақ 2010 жылы жалақы төлемақы шегін бұзғаны үшін клубтың сол маусымда премьерлік ұпайларын алуына мүмкіндік бермей, соңғы орынға түсірілді.
In 2002, as in 2001, the NRL's advertising was handled by Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney. As in the previous season, there was no big budget season launch advertising campaign. The NRL focussed on stretching its marketing spending throughout the season with newspaper ads promoting individual rounds and clubs, and with simple TV ads to promote key games. The Bulldogs won 17 games in a row and had an unbeaten run of 18 games, the most in the club's history. However they were deducted 37 premiership points for a gross salary cap breaches, the most points deducted in premiership history. That left the club with just four competition points attained from the two byes earlier in the season. Four more competition points followed since the salary cap scandal, all from wins in the last two rounds of the season. The New Zealand Warriors won the club's first Minor Premiership in its 8 year history and also made it to their first Grand Final. The Warriors were not in first place almost during the entire season, only taking top spot on the ladder at the conclusion of Round 26. John Hopoate ran 3,976 metres with the ball in 2002, more than any other player in the competition. At the end of the season NRL referees' coach Peter Louis resigned from his position. As of 2023, 2002 is the most recent season in which the Melbourne Storm did not qualify for the finals due to not winning enough games, though in 2010 they were sentenced to finish last due to salary cap breaches which prevented the club from earning any premiership points that season.

Үлкен финал
2002 жылғы NRL Grand Final 2002 жылғы NRL маусымының шешуші және чемпиондық атау үшін өткен соңғы ойыны болды. Ол 2002 жылдың 6 қазанында, жексенбі күні, Сиднейдің "Телстра" стадионында өтті. 80 130 адам Сиднейлік "Көктер" командасының Жаңа Зеландиялық "Жауынгерлерді" 30:8 есебімен жеңгенін көрді. Клив Черчилль медалін Сиднейлік "Көктер" клубының ойыншысы Крейг Фицгиббон жеңіп алды. Бұл матч сондай-ақ АҚШ-та Fox Sports World арнасы тікелей эфирде көрсетті.
