Finally, the 2022 NRL draw is out. After an ever so slight delay, the fixtures were released this morning at 11am.
Like many others, I have already planned my away trips, secured my season tickets and am clock-watching for Round 1.
For a league fan such as myself every game is a must-watch. That said, some games stick out more than others.
Below are the ten that have me most excited and shape as can't miss matchups.
7. Round 6: Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sharks
Saturday, April 16 - 7:35pm (at AAMI Park, Melbourne)
As the kids these days say, this will be straight fire!
The minorpremiers and superstar Storm outfit will host the Craig Fitzgibbon-led Sharks in a battle that will see both Dale Finucane and Nicho Hynes return to Melbourne for the first time with their new club.
The Storm and Sharks rivalry is a heated one even before the recruitment moves. The Storm are 2-0 in the preliminaries but the Sharks have the win in that grand final.
I have no doubt that both clubs will have this fixture circled from this morning.
