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.
4. Round 11: Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles
Friday, May 20 - 7:55pm (at CommBank Stadium, Parramatta
Another contest I look for each and every season. If the Bunnies and Roosters rivalry isn't the game's most heated than it's the Eels and Sea Eagles.
To say these sets of fans dislike each other is putting it very nicely. Let alone on the field where there's genuine disdain for each other.
Last year the Sea Eagles went 2-0 which must have Eels fans smarting for revenge.
Trbojevic and Gutherson is one of the personal contests of the season. I'm sure a certain "King" is sick of hearing just how good his opposite is.
