The Final Winter

Rugby league is arguably the toughest form of football on the planet played by men that play the game hard & lived even harder. Set in Sydney in the 1980s the movie is a drama about the effects upon the players, supporters and the game itself as the sport grows from being the semi-pro suburban game it's been for nearly 100 years into a fully professional international sport. Superbly written and acted by Matt Nable, a former football player along with other former players mixed in with some internationally recognised actors, the story is a realistic snapshot into the lives of people for whom the game is a weekend escape from their otherwise ordinary lives. That's all about to change as big business realises the potential the game holds leaving those clinging to the old ways in their wake. The Final Winter featuring Matt Nable and Nathaniel Dean is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates. It's a drama and sport movie with a better than average IMDb audience rating of 6.9 (312 votes).
