News coverage

Tuesday 9 November 2021

The NRL is set to announced the draws for NRL and NRLW at 11am. You can watch the launch via the Youtube video below:

7:15am: The Tele's David Riccio has tweeted out opening fixtures for both Cronulla and Penrith.

  • Sharks: Raiders (R1, A - GIO, Fri 6pm), Eels (R2, H - PointsBet, Sat 5:30pm), Dragons (R3, A - WIN, Thu 8:05pm)

8:30am: More from the Telegraph on the Raiders, with their regional fixtures. In addition to a Wagga Wagga home game, they'll also make away trips to Dubbo and Mudgee. We expect those to be against Souths and Manly respectively.

Monday 8 November 2021

6:30pm: News Corp have another leak, this time the opening month of games for three of 2021's struggling clubs, the Dragons, Tigers and Bulldogs:

WESTS TIGERS - Melbourne (R1, H - Commbank), Newcastle (R2, A - McDonald Jones), Warriors (R3, H - Campbelltown), Titans (R4, A - Cbus Super), Sharks (R5, A - PointsBet)

BULLDOGS - Cowboys (R1, A - Townsville), Broncos (R2, H - TBC), Manly (R3, TBC), Storm (R4, A - AAMI), Panthers (R5, H - TBC), Rabbitohs (R6, A - Stad Aus), Broncos (R7, A - Suncorp)

DRAGONS - Warriors (R1, A - Sun. Coast), Panthers (R2, H - Kogarah or WIN), Sharks (R3, H - Kogarah or WIN), Eels (R4, A - Commbank), Rabbitohs (R5, A - Stad Aus)

LINK

8:30pm: Another News Corp leak from the Courier Mail this time, with some Broncos fixtures coming through.

BRONCOS - Souths (R1, H - Suncorp), Bulldogs (R2, A - TBC), Cowboys (R3, H - Suncorp, Sunday), Panthers (R6, A - BlueBet), Bulldogs (R7, H - Suncorp), Sea Eagles (R10, A - Suncorp), Titans (R12, H - Suncorp)

The report also suggests Brisbane have five games at home at Suncorp in the first eight rounds. LINK

9:00pm: Canberra Times is reporting the Raiders' home games scheduled from late May to August in daytime slots (Sun 2pm and Sat 3pm, with just one Sat 5:30pm and no night games), and overall appear on free-to-air eight times (up from seven in 2021). The same report suggests Canberra's annual Wagga Wagga home game will be scheduled even earlier in 2022 - last season it was Round 9 (early May). LINK

AFTERNOON: The NRL and NRLW draws are set to be released together on Tuesday. Here's what each season is set to look like.

NRL (Men's) 2022

  • Round 1 (season kickoff): 10-13 March - see further down for reported fixtures
  • 25 rounds over 26 weekends
  • Magic Round Brisbane - Suncorp Stadium. Date still TBC, if matching last year it could be held Round 10 (May 13-15).
  • Origin matches scheduled for Wed 8 Jun (SYD), Sun 26 Jun (PER) and Wed 13 Jul (BNE)
  • No NRL played over weekend of 24-26 June, with Women's Origin (likely) and Men's Origin II (confirmed) played that weekend.
  • It's yet unknown if that weekend will contain any international fixtures (e.g. Pacific Tests)
  • Round 25 (final round): 1-4 September
  • Grand Final (back at Stadium Australia) Sunday 2 October
  • Men's RLWC2021 begins in England on October 15

NRL Women's (NRLW) 2021

  • Two seasons in one year
  • '2021 season' kickoff 27 February
  • 5 rounds (all teams play each other once)
  • Semi Finals weekend of 2-3 April
  • Grand Final weekend of 9-10 April
  • 2022 season to be played closer to the end of the 2022 men's NRL season
  • Women's RLWC2021 begins late October in England

MORNING: The NRL has confirmed the draws for both the men's and women's competitions will be released tomorrow - Tuesday 9 November.

Sunday 7 November 2021

The Tele has another fixture dropped, with the Storm v Sharks clash - where Hynes and Finucane will face their former club - pencilled in for Easter Saturday night in Round 6 at AAMI Park. LINK

The draw release is now expected this Tuesday, after being delayed from a planned Friday release. The NRL had a number of stadium availability issues to contend with, and are planning to release the NRLW fixtures alongside the men's competition, of which we'll see a number of double headers in the early rounds.

Friday 5 November 2021

No draw today as was originally anticipated. At this stage we understand it's been delayed til early next week. Updates to come - and no doubt more leaks across the weekend.

Thursday 4 November 2021

7:00PM: More News Corp leaks - some "former club grudge matches", with the Storm to host Canterbury at AAMI Park in Round 4, and Wests Tigers v Manly (no indication on home team) in Round 9. LINK

3:00PM: 2022 Memberships are on sale for the Dragons, with the club confirming six matches in Wollongong, five in Kogarah and ANZAC Day at the SCG for their 12 home games. LINK

Wednesday 3 November 2021

8:00PM: News Corp now has leaks appearing, with the Grand Final rematch involving South Sydney and Penrith set for Round 4, and two Magic Round fixtures locked in - Storm-Panthers and Roosters-Eels. LINK

Meanwhile, Channel 9's version of Round 1 published a short time ago has a slight difference to ours shown below, with the Warriors and Raiders games swapped. LINK

6:00PM: Round 1 leaked: the SMH has put out the fixtures as they understand them for the opening round of the 2022 NRL season. LINK
