Although we’re now ‘only’ less than two months away from the NRL season, it still seems like an eternity for those of us who live and breathe rugby league.
Right now I am looking forward to anything involving a ball that isn’t round being broadcast on my screen. No this is not a shot at soccer, or cricket, both of which I am huge fans, but to put it bluntly, I miss my rugby league.
Below are ten of the rugby league themed moments I am looking forward to in 2017.
11. Sharks vs Broncos
I think I speak for every NRL fan when I say the thing I am most looking forward to in 2017 is round one kicking off and the return of the greatest game of all.
The Premiers kick off the season and their first ever title defence, by hosting one of the red hot favourites to be there or thereabouts in October. Maloney vs Milford, Holmes vs Bird, Gallen vs Gillett. Anyone else feels like this is the longest NRL off-season ever?
Let’s watch some football!!! Round One is jam packed with mouth-watering fixtures, although right now I’d take a depleted Knights second eleven playing off against the Manly nines side if it meant the return of rugby league.
