THE FRONT ROW - 2021 ROUND 8: Volume 2 Issue 8

OUT NOW - a look at NRL scorelines post-COVID and how much the game has changed; Kurt Mann on Newcastle's road ahead; and why the new conference system could damage the game.

This week Andrew Ferguson analyses the NRL's changes in recent years and their significant impact on competitiveness through scorelines and blowouts; Paul Jobber shares Kurt Mann's outlook on what's ahead for the embattled Newcastle Knights; and Rob Crosby shares his thoughts on where the NRL will have gotten it wrong if they proceed with the 'two conference' system floated in the media during the week - particularly how it might impact Newcastle.

Add in the match program, results and teamlists from around Australia and a look at the UK - you've got a fantastic addition to your NRL match experience.
