Rugby League Movie

[Fluffy]

I just heard about an Aussie rugby league movie coming out.

Its a typical aussie style movie about a western sydney league team.

Apparently they come up against former greats like Gene Miles and Mario Fenech amongst others in the final and beat them.

The lead guy was in pizza - the asian comedian, his name is ahn ko or something like that

Anyone know aything about it - ill try find out some details at lunch time
