There isn't a week that goes by in the NRL that doesn't give you reasons to watch on the weekend, other than the games themselves.

Whether it's injuries, scandals, or the NRL bosses making broad claims or historical nuances, there is always something to watch for beyond the game.

Here are six things, questions and nuances to watch for as you sit down to watch the footy this weekend.

When the Parramatta Eels met the Gold Coast Titans in round one, the result was about as high-scoring and high-drama as it gets. With nine tries in the first half and only one in the second, it was a strange affair.

The conversation afterwards had nothing to do with the game though. All anyone could talk about was Phillip Sami performing the "Gutherino" in the face of Clint Gutherson after he powered through him to score.

While Gutherson was happy to laugh at the moment, he knew exactly when they would face off next.

“Four weeks (we play them again) – I’ve already looked, we’re already back into it," he told Big Sports Breakfast. 

After their round one performance, this game is sure to be a try-scoring masterclass.

Whether it's just the Eels who will be taking part, is yet to be seen. I'm taking bets for the celebration Gutherson pulls out if he scores.
