how long does an nrl game go for

An NRL game lasts for 80 minutes of playing time, split into two halves of 40 minutes each, with a 10-minute half-time break in between. However, due to stoppages such as injuries, penalties, and other interruptions, the total duration of an NRL game typically extends to about 90 to 100 minutes, and sometimes can last up to almost three hours in rare cases with multiple stoppages. The game clock stops during these interruptions, and the final whistle is only blown after the last play following the 80 minutes is completed.
