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.
7. Manly Sea Eagles vs Gold Coast Titans, Round 20
When: Sunday, July 21, 4:05pm (AEST)
Where: 4 Pines Park, Manly
There is one reason this game is on the list - Des Hasler.
The former Manly coach, who has had two seasons on the Northern Beaches, makes his return to Brookvale in charge of a Gold Coast Titans side who, if they can handle the start to the season with some difficult matches, might be in the mix for finals.
Manly would hope they are in the same spot as well, so that could well set this game up as one of those four point turnaround make or break contests.
