How Is Matariki Celebrated

How is Matariki celebrated?

Traditionally Matariki was celebrated by gathering with whanau (family) and reflecting on the past. The festival’s connection to the stars provided an opportunity for families to remember their whakapapa (genealogy) and those ancestors who had passed away to the heavens. Offerings were made to land-based gods who would help provide good crops, and new trees were planted to signal new beginnings.

        Parramatta have plunged into an injury crisis with Anthony Watmough and Danny Wicks ruled for the rest of the NRL season.

Watmough (knee) and Wicks (shoulder) will both undergo surgery this week after going down in Friday's 28-4 loss to Canterbury.

It has also been confirmed Corey Norman will miss three weeks with a knee strain.

His injury could not come at a worse time with halfback Chris Sandow to miss the next two weeks after being suspended for a shoulder charge.

The blue and golds also have Richie Fa'aoso (shoulder), Peni Terepo (pec), Kaysa Pritchard (pec), Beau Champion (knee) and Kenny Edwards (knee) on their long-term injury list.

The Eels face North Queensland on Monday night in Townsville.
