With the 2024 NRL season fixtures revealed on Monday morning, the anticipation for the upcoming season can begin to build.
From the first round trip to Las Vegas, to a grand final rematch in Round 3, chances for players to visit their old stomping grounds and blockbusters from one end of the season to the other, there will be a reason to tune into most matches throughout the season.
But Zero Tackle have picked the ten you should be locking into your calendar now.
Here are the matches you can't afford to miss in 2024.
4. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters, Round 8
When: Thursday, April 25, 4:00pm (AEST)
Where: Allianz Stadium, Sydney
Anzac Day. We could leave this entry there and that would be enough to explain why it's a must-watch.
It seems that form goes out the back window when the Dragons and Roosters meet on the sacred day every year, with more often than not close encounters being the result.
If the action after the first whistle isn't enough reason to tune in or even attend, then the pre-game is as 50,000 stop in their tracks to the point you could hear a pin drop to remember those who served.
Anzac Day is a triple header in 2024, but the Dragons and Roosters will always hold a special place on the rugby league calendar.
