In 2006 the ground hosted the New Zealand national rugby league team again when they played the New Zealand Residents.[2]
In 2011 the ground hosted the New Zealand Warriors where they played the Newcastle Knights in a National Rugby League warm up match. The game served as a fundraiser for the region after the Pike River Mine disaster.[3][4]
