Соревнование по регбилиг
Rugby league competition
Сезон 1999 года стал 92-м сезоном профессионального регбилига в Австралии и вторым сезоном, организованным Национальной лигой регби. После исключения команд «Аделаида Рамс» и «Голд Кост Чарджерс», а также создания объединенного клуба «Сент-Джордж Драгонс» и «Иллаварра Стиллерс», семнадцать команд боролись за звание чемпиона НРЛ в сезоне 1999 года, который завершился первым финальным матчем, проведенным на стадионе «Stadium Australia». «Сент-Джордж Иллаварра Драгонс», первый клуб, образованный в результате объединения, вышедший в финал, встретился с «Мельбурн Шторм», которые выиграли чемпионат всего во втором сезоне своего существования.
The 1999 NRL season was the 92nd season of professional rugby league football in Australia, and the second to be run by the National Rugby League. With the exclusion of the Adelaide Rams and Gold Coast Chargers, and the joint venture of the St. George Dragons and Illawarra Steelers, seventeen teams competed for the NRL Premiership during the 1999 season, which culminated in the first grand final to be played at Stadium Australia. The St. George Illawarra Dragons, the first joint venture club to appear in the grand final, played against the Melbourne Storm, who won the premiership in only their second season.
Итоги сезона
Сезон 1999 года в Национальной регби-лиге стал историческим по многим причинам. «Сент-Джордж Иллаварра Драгонс» провели свой первый матч после формирования первого совместного клуба в Лиге, уступив «Парраматте Илс» со счетом 10:20. Эта игра была второй в паре матчей, которые впервые состоялись на стадионе «Stadium Australia» в Сиднее – центральной арене Олимпийских игр в следующем году. Этот матч собрал мировой рекорд для регби-лиги – 104 583 зрителя. В течение сезона члены «Балмейн Тайгерс» и «Вестерн Субурбс Мэджис» проголосовали за создание еще одного совместного клуба, который получил название «Вестс Тайгерс». После завершения сезона «Саут Сидней Рэббитос» и «Норт Сидней Беарс» были исключены из премьер-лиги. «Беарс» позже сформировали третий совместный клуб с «Мэнли Уорринга Си Иглз», а «Саут Сидней» в течение двух лет боролся за возвращение в лигу через суд. В августе генеральный директор НРЛ Нил Уиттакер объявил о своем уходе в конце сезона. Действующие чемпионы, «Брисбен», пережили худшее в своей истории начало сезона, выиграв всего один матч и сыграв вничью в первых десяти играх, однако они чудесным образом восстановились и одержали 11 побед подряд, прежде чем столкнуться с некоторыми трудностями, включая ничью с «Мэнли» в 24-м туре и поражение от принципиального соперника «Парраматты» на своем поле в 25-м туре. Их выдающийся полузащитник и капитан Аллан Лангер завершил карьеру в середине сезона. «Ньюкасл Найтс» также потерял легендарного игрока, когда капитан премьер-лиги 1997 года Пол Харрагон завершил карьеру в середине сезона из-за хронической травмы колена. Победа «Мельбурн Сторм» в премьер-лиге позволила их капитану Гленну Лазарусу стать единственным игроком, когда-либо выигрывавшим гранд-финалы за три разных клуба. Клифф Лайонс, вернувшийся из отставки в «Мэнли Уорринга Си Иглз», был самым возрастным игроком в НРЛ в 1999 году.
The 1999 National Rugby League season was historic for many reasons. The St. George Illawarra Dragons played their inaugural game after forming the League's first joint venture, losing 10 20 to the Parramatta Eels. That game was the second of a double header, which was the first event to be held at Sydney's Stadium Australia, the central venue for the Olympic Games the following year. That game attracted a rugby league world record of 104,583 spectators. During the season, the members of the Balmain Tigers and Western Suburbs Magpies voted to form another joint venture, to be named the Wests Tigers. After the conclusion of the season, the South Sydney Rabbitohs and North Sydney Bears were excluded from the premiership. The Bears would later form the game's third joint venture with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, whilst South Sydney would fight a two year legal battle for reinclusion. In August the NRL's CEO Neil Whittaker announced that he would resign at the end of the season. The defending premiers, Brisbane endured their worst ever start to a season, with just one win and a draw from their first ten games, however they would miraculously recover and record 11 wins in a row before hitting a few hurdles along the way, including a draw against Manly in round 24 and a loss against then bogey team Parramatta at home in round 25. Their champion halfback and captain Allan Langer retired mid season as a result. The Newcastle Knights also lost an iconic player when 1997 premiership captain Paul Harragon retired mid season due to a chronic knee injury. The Melbourne Storm's premiership victory saw their captain Glenn Lazarus become the only player to ever win grand finals for three clubs. Cliff Lyons, making a comeback from retirement for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, was the oldest player in the NRL in 1999.
Команды
В результате исключения «Аделаид Рамс» и «Голд Кост Чарджерс», а также объединения «Сент-Джордж Драгонс» и «Иллаварра Стиллерс», количество команд в Лиге сократилось с двадцати до семнадцати: это было самое крупное сокращение числа команд в истории чемпионата и первое после исключения «Ньютаун Джетс» из Сиднея в конце сезона 1983 года.
The exclusion of the Adelaide Rams and Gold Coast Chargers, and the joint venture of the St. George Dragons and Illawarra Steelers, saw a reduction in the League's teams from twenty to seventeen: the largest reduction in the number of teams in premiership history and the first reduction since the exclusion of Sydney's Newtown Jets at the end of the 1983 season.

Реклама
В шаге, разделившем мнения болельщиков, NRL в своей рекламной кампании 1999 года сосредоточилась на преданных фанатах, которые, возможно, были упущены из виду и пережили боль, связанную с войной за Суперлигу. Сиднейское рекламное агентство VCD, работавшее с NRL на третий год из четырех по контракту, создало рекламу с Томасом Кеннелли, читающим его стихотворение "Ода регби-лиге", написанное по заказу NRL. В нем говорится о наивном восторге, с которого начинается каждый сезон. Реклама была показана на старте сезона, а бюджет на ее поддержку в течение года был минимальным. Кеннелли – давний болельщик команды Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. Мы достаем клубные цвета из шкафа. И воздух наполняется пением. Сезон уже близко. Наши ребята бегут по песчаным дюнам, их ноги работают как поршни. Этот сезон, этот сезон – наш сезон. В этом году все мы начинаем с равными шансами. Дети рисуют плакаты, и я снова чувствую себя семилетним. Я знаю, что скоро увижу героев. Я чувствую предвкушение. У меня есть надежда в марте, и, возможно, я разделю славу сентября. Свистни, судья! Отправь мяч в полет! Свистни, судья!
In a move that polarised some fans, the NRL in its 1999 promotional campaign focused on the game's grass roots supporters who perhaps had been overlooked and pained in the trauma of the Super League war. Sydney advertising agency VCD, in the third year of their four year tenure with the NRL, produced an advertisement featuring Thomas Keneally reading his poem, "Ode to Rugby League", which had been commissioned by the NRL. It speaks of the innocent excitement that begins each season. The ad was used at season launch and there was minimal media budget to support it throughout the year. Keneally is a longtime supporter of the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. We go to the cupboard, we take out club colours. And the air sings. The season's close. Our boys are running up sandhills, their legs pump. This season, this season, this is our season. This year we all start equal. Kids paint signs, and I am seven again. I know I will see heroes soon. I feel the excitement. I have hope in March, and I might share in the glory of September. Blow that whistle, ref. Send that ball soaring. Blow that whistle, ref.

Большой финал
Гранд-финал 1999 года стал заключительным и определяющим матчем сезона 1999 года NRL. В нем встретились два новейших клуба лиги: "Мельбурн Сторм", участвовавший всего во втором сезоне (завершив регулярный чемпионат на 3-м месте); и "Сент-Джордж Иллаварра Драгонз", в их первый год существования как объединенного клуба (завершившие регулярный чемпионат на 6-м месте), после того как обе команды выбили из борьбы остальных восьмерых лидеров в плей-офф. Новый мировой рекорд посещаемости матчей регби – 107 999 зрителей – собрался на стадионе "Австралия" для просмотра этой игры. Посещаемость, превысившая посещаемость Гранд-финала NRL 1998 года на стадионе "Сидней Футбол" на 67 142 человека, побила рекорд посещаемости Гранд-финалов, превзойдя предыдущий рекорд в 78 065 зрителей, установленный в 1965 году, когда "Сент-Джордж" победил "Саут Сидней" со счетом 12-8 на "Сидней Крикет Граунд". Это был последний раз, когда медаль Клайва Черчилля вручалась в футляре, после чего в следующем сезоне ее стали вручать отдельно, с лентой на шее. Перед началом матча Хью Джекман исполнил австралийский национальный гимн.
The 1999 NRL Grand Final was the conclusive and premiership deciding game of the 1999 NRL season. It was contested by the competition's two newest clubs: the Melbourne Storm, competing in only its second year (having finished the regular season in 3rd place); and the St. George Illawarra Dragons, in their first year as a joint venture club (having finished the regular season in 6th place), after both sides eliminated the rest of the top eight during the finals. A new rugby league world record crowd of 107,999 was at Stadium Australia for the game. The attendance, which saw 67,142 more people attend than had done so for the 1998 NRL Grand Final at the Sydney Football Stadium, broke the record attendance for a Grand Final, eclipsing the previous record of 78,065 set in 1965 when St. George defeated South Sydney 12 8 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It was the last time that the Clive Churchill Medal was presented in a case before it was changed the following season where it is presented separately with a ribbon being worn around the neck. Pre match entertainment featured Hugh Jackman's rendition of the Australian national anthem.
