Although we’re now ‘only’ less than two months away from the NRL season, it still seems like an eternity for those of us who live and breathe rugby league.

Right now I am looking forward to anything involving a ball that isn’t round being broadcast on my screen. No this is not a shot at soccer, or cricket, both of which I am huge fans, but to put it bluntly, I miss my rugby league.

Below are ten of the rugby league themed moments I am looking forward to in 2017.

I am perhaps the furthest thing from a Manly fan as there could possibly be, however, the emergence of young Jake and Tom Trbojevic has me circling Manly fixtures with excitement.

Jake’s debut for the Kangaroos solidifies what we already knew, that he has a monster representative career ahead of him.

Tom, perhaps the most exciting young player in the competition, looks set to put the NSW incumbents under huge pressure, whilst looking to make a permanent move into the fullback position in 2017.
