Round 7 Game Day guide

Gates open: 5pm

Defence Force curtain raiser

The Australian and New Zealand Defence Force Rugby League teams will play a curtain raiser at AAMI Park on Anzac Day, with kick-off at 5pm.

Blackout ceremony

Fans are encouraged to be seated by 7pm for the pre-game blackout, which pays tribute to ANZAC service men and women and has become a must-see event in Australian sport.

An immersive and moving experience, the blackout sets the tone for the contest to follow.

Fans can grab purple stickers inside gates 2 or 7 to cover their phone torches and create a sea of glittering purple light.

Blockbuster Thursday night football

This will be the tenth meeting between Storm and the Warriors on Anzac Day, with Storm having won six, including the last three, while the inaugural clash in 2009 at Olympic Park ended in a draw.

The Trans-Tasman rivals play for the Michael Moore trophy, named in honour of Storm's inaugural football manager.

The ANZAC medal will be awarded to the player judged best afield.
