1st of September 2023. The day it all ended, and our 2023 Season officially came crashing down. It's been a long 178 days since then and I've waited a long time just to start this thread and do this post but we're finally there. Finally, the 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership Season is upon us. With it brings new beginnings, new challenges, new learnings, new hope. What will 2024 bring us? Where will we be come October? Who knows? But what I do know is that the journey to being there at the end, starts now.
We kick off our Season THIS WEEK against an old foe, the Sea Eagles on Sunday afternoon our time. Except this isn't just any Round 1 game. It will be one of the most historic nights in Rugby League history as our game marks the first time an official NRL game has been played anywhere but Aus and NZ. It's such a privledge and an honor to kick off the 2024 Season on American soil in Vegas, and I for one, couldn't be more excited.
What an opponent to do it against too, our old foes Manly. Another traditional rival of ours with our rivalry stretching back almost 80 years now. And boy, has it been one hell of a rivalry that includes plenty of feeling. It's no secret both sides don't like each other. Well, everyone hates Manly anyway. But in all seriousness, it has been one heck of a rivalry that's included countless big games and big moments including plenty of Grand Finals and Finals. Look forward to resuming it again on Sunday on literally the biggest stage in front of a world audience!
It's not going to be an easy game that's for sure. We're slightly down on troops, our backs are already against the wall. Manly are looking pretty good with all their stars back, some new confidence around the joint, and the addition of Luke Brooks. They will bring it. Like us, they'll feed off the Vegas emotion. make no mistake, 2024 Manly are going to be a different beast. But you know what, so are we. If Cody plays, I think we can get this one. If he doesn't, well, it'll be extremely tough. Will go into tactics later in the week as we build up to kick off but for now, let's just soak it all in and enjoy prepping for our first game.
So here we go, strap yourselves in and get ready because the show is about to get on the road!!! The 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership is finally here! Vegas is finally here!
I'm ready.
