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.
8. Parramatta Eels vs Penrith Panthers, Round 23
When: Friday, August 9, 8:00pm (AEST)
Where: CommBank Stadium, Parramatta
The Western Sydney derby is always one that has more riding on it, but it's easy to suggest the stakes may be even higher come the back-end of the 2023 season.
In short, if Brad Arthur's Eels find themselves falling short of the finals again, he may not have a job in 2025.
Penrith will be on the run in to try and win the minor premiership again though, and this could be the ultimate test for both sides a month out from the knockout rounds.
