Watch as NRL star Josh Addo-Carr is pranked by his OWN CLUB with brutal fake player rating following launch of video game RugbyLeague26
NRL star Josh Addo-Carr has been stitched up deluxe by the Parramatta Eels, who caught the flyer off-guard with a classic prank following the highly anticipated launch of video game RugbyLeague26 this week. Former representative winger Addo-Carr, 29, was given a fake player rating of 71 by the club's media team - and the 'Foxx' wasn't happy. 'Whoever made this game has no idea about rugby league,' was his immediate reply on camera. Teammate Will Penisini urged the game's creators to 'check the resume' of Addo-Carr, which includes two NRL premierships with the Melbourne Storm as well as the World Cup in 2021, where he was a standout for Australia. Eventually Addo-Carr was informed the numbers were fabricated - and he was all smiles about the 'crazy' wind-up. Other fake ratings of Eels stars included a very generous 86 for centre Jordan Samrani, a harsh 66 for veteran utility Dylan Walker, 87 for replacement halfback Dean Hawkins and 89 for hard-nosed forward Luca Moretti. Understandably, Italian international Moretti was delighted, and cheekily declared: 'the numbers don't lie.' Meanwhile, scores of footy fans have taken to social media to complain about numerous glitches, bugs and frozen loading screens from the video game. 'Not even joking how did this game get the green light?,' one bemused supporter posted on X. Another said: 'This dross is the best you can come up with? Embarrassing.' A third wrote: 'Cannot put into words how bad Rugby League 26 is'. The avalanche of criticism saw Big Ant Studios - who created the game - release a statement on Thursday night, apologising to those who purchased the game. 'We know today has not gone as smoothly as it should have and we will compensate all #RugbyLeague26 purchasers with some free #ProTeam credit,' the Studio posted online. 'Details to follow. There has been overwhelming demand that also may have caused service issues, and for that we cannot apologise enough.' Panthers superstar halfback Nathan Cleary is the highest rated player in the game with a rating of 93.

Oman in focus at Italian show
On a starry night in the historic city of Chiavari, artists and backstage supporters came in their full swing and witnessed yet another evening of a perfect amalgam of art, culture and above all, for solidifying the existing bonds between Oman and Italy where art, poetry, photography and alchemy came together on stage. A beautiful artistic event was held in Chiavari, where artists and art performances are not new to Chiavari, a city in the beautiful west Riviera in the north of Italy. An evening of the beautiful artistic event was held at the initiative of Baroness Ana Maria Norero, delegate of the Liguri nel Mondo - Tigullio Cultural Association, on the banks of the Ligurian Sea, offering some of the typical Ligurian dishes which were much appreciated by the participants. With authors Luca Moretti and Lucia Oliva (founders of the historical-cultural association Ludica Antiqua), the evening was witnessed by the Ambassador of Oman to Italy HH Sayyid Nizar bin al Julanda bin Majid al Said, Federico Messuti, Mayor of Chiavari, and Mario Menini President of the Association Liguri nel Mondo. Oman in focus at Italian show Titled 'The Tale of Venice and the Incense Route', it is the story of an ideal journey in search of perfection, narrated through the allegorical language of the tale (out of metaphor, a synthetic exposition of the antecedents of the entire artistic project). It was presented as the world preview in Oman, the land of origin of frankincense, since the dawn of time, in Muscat, in the Bait Al Zubair Museum earlier under the auspices of Sayyid Said bin Sultan al Busaidy, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth for Culture, followed by a grand show at the opening ceremony of the Venice Art Biennale, at the Omani Pavilion. Later in October, it was shown again in the Omani capital, at the National Museum, as a great continuation (epilogue). New events are under way in 2025. Oman in focus at Italian show It returned to the Omani capital, with a performance organised at the theatre of the National Museum on the occasion of the epilogue of the celebrations linked to the twenty-fourth Week of the Italian Language in the World. 'The Fairy Tale of Venice and the Incense Road' is a cultural allegory of a journey through time, in search of beauty. It was signed by Luca Moretti, content creator, event manager and a lawyer, along with Lucia Oliva and Luca Rajna, returning from the success achieved in Vietnam last September with 'The Legend of the Areca and the Lost Manuscript', presented at the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Italian consulate in Saigon. "We are glad that it has been recognised as having high cultural value by Oman's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth and Ministry of Information, by the Italian Embassy in Muscat, by International Action Art and by the European Federation of Unesco Clubs," said Dr Luca Moretti. The programme of the day in Chiavari included a theatrical conference that introduced two short films, one narrative and the other with photographic scenes and narration in verse partly taken from the Divine Comedy and partly inspired by it.
