NGĀTI KAHU MARANGA MAI

We take the field for one last game for the 2026 rugby league season but even more special our Little Sharkies start us off vs the Kaikohekohe Cubs.

Rug up, chuck a Milo in the flask and come along to tautoko.

A reminder for whānau that all though league games can be exciting, showing good crowd behaviour is always the best especially around our tamariki.

That’s us whānau, shark and ready.

What does good sideline behaviour look like to you?

As a club and a whānau that values the importance of role modeling good sideline behaviour, we are always trying to work on improving our own including the good old banter. No team is perfect, the passion of the game sometimes brings out the hōhā but it is something we constantly reflect on as a team and ways this can improve.

So here’s some reminders for all of us:
Respect the officials
Encourage sportsmanship
Let players enjoy the game
Remember our tamariki are always watching and listening

BE A KOHA AND NOT A HŌHĀ 🦈🦈

24/07/2026

You heard it here first! 👇🏽
Way better to be a koha than a hōhā

Keep our sidelines positive whether at your tamariki games or watching the bro.
