Show support for your team and win in Telstra’s Tug of War competition!

Telstra is giving you the chance to win the Ultimate NRL Grand Final experience on October 3 in Sydney thanks to the Telstra virtual Tug of War, running throughout the Preliminary Finals.

For your chance to win, simply SMS 0427 MY TEAM (0427 698 326) and the name of your favourite team in either of the Preliminary Finals (either Titans, Roosters, St George or Tigers).  With every SMS received, Telstra will donate ten cents to the Telstra Child Flight emergency helicopter.

NRL legends Trevor Gillmeister (Titans), Bryan Fletcher (Roosters), Wendell Sailor (St George) and Paul Sironen (Tigers) are supporting this great cause and have accepted the challenge to turn the virtual Tug of War into a real physical encounter!  The four legends are hoping to square off in an on-field Tug of War at both Preliminary Finals during half time.  

Lucky fans of both teams will be randomly chosen from the crowd on each game day, to add some muscle to their teams’ effort to take out the Telstra Tug of War challenge!

Don’t miss your chance to support your team and the invaluable work that the Telstra Child Flight emergency helicopter carries out every day!
