As the winds of change sweep across the rugby league landscape, Grub Henderson (Matt Nable) defiantly stands among all others as the embodiment of those before him. Foreign codes of business are tearing at the fabric of loyalty that exists between Grub’s club and family. He collides head-on with an administration eager to bury him, and battles against his brother and coach’s betrayal. At home his wife is troubled by the transformation of the man she married, and his children are left wanting for their father.
In a bid to cling to his self-worth, Grub bitterly swallows his pride and bargains for his future. As the game that provides him an identity crumbles, he finds acceptance in the man he could be.
The cast features Matt Nable, Matthew Johns, Nathaniel Dean (‘Candy’, ‘Walking on Water’), John Jarratt (‘Wolf Creek’), Raelee Hill, Michelle Langstone, Conrad Coleby and Kate Mulvany.
Saw the movie the other night. Highly recommend it to any sports fan. Loved spotting all the ex players throughout. Made me want to come to Henson park and cheer on the Jets!
hey i went and saw the movie the other day. its a fuckin good movie aye. wish league could go back to those good old days. i am doing my bit to bring it back.
went to see this last night. LOVED IT! thought it was excellent! matt nable was played his character really well! & matt johns was surprisingly good too! plus it was good to see those few cameo appearances from former players (like tommy rudonikis). put you in my top friends list so all my mates go see it keep up the good work!
I was at the Storm v Titans match tonight and thought with the big screens at every match it would be a massive boost to this film if they showed a bit of the openning sequence (on field action) on the big screens before the semi finals.
Its in the NRL's interest for this flick to be a success so they should do it for free!
Just imagine, the crowd are getting ready for a big game then that comes on with the music that goes with it, then the title comes up THE FINAL WINTER. People would be asking 'what the hell was that!?'
Mr Gallop seems like a reasonable man. Why not ask him?
