While the weekend's tournament has been criticised by some fans for lacking more energy and vibe (probably to the cops' relief), plenty of high-profile fans got into the spirit of the NRL Auckland Nines.

3. Injured Warriors star Koni Hurrell opted for a Despicable Me minion.
4. But on day two, he donned a tennis skirt and sweatbands to mimic Serena Williams - with beard. Move over Conchita Wurst.
5. TVNZ's Brodie Kane (second from left) also opted for towelling. The 'coming out of the shower look' was certainly original. And was theme appropriate when the rain fell.
6. Labour leader Andrew Little got amongst the people in the stadium, although failed to raise any photobombing enthusiasm with this selfie. Even his date, Chris Flatt, the national secretary of the NZ Dairy Works, spurned the camera.
7. Prime Minister John Key said he "enjoyed great action", or rather his press-managed Twitter account did. But this looks more lonesie action in the private corporate box.
8. Musician Sale Leilua (who has worked with the likes of David Dallas) evidently saw too much action. He was fed up when the TV camera landed on him one too many times.
9. Dom Harvey was less than impressed with the beverages on offer.
10. But publisher Todd Scott, who runs the NBR rag, was rather taken with the homoerotic décor in his company's corporate box.
