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.
6. Round 3: Brisbane Broncos vs North Queensland Cowboys
Sunday, March 27 - 4:05pm (at Suncorp Stadium)
For the first time in many years, the Broncos and Cowboys game at Suncorp will be played in the daylight.
It's always a positive when the Broncos are moved away from the Friday night spot but this is a clash that, despite recent results, dictates a marquee position.
Both sides were relegated to little brother by the Titans in 2021 so you have to believe this will be a blockbuster clash by two sides looking to send a message.
Both teams will have new halfbacks and will enter the season with new hope. The winner of this will gain early momentum.
