Even Queenslander's no longer know Brisbane "that's in Queensland" given all the other towns they have claimed which actually aren't in Queensland

Dragons v Bulldogs in the opening round? That's certainly different for the two teams. Don't they usually hold them off until later in the year?

In confirming this, the NRL have also implied the dates for Magic Round - 2-3-4 May. A fortnight earlier than last year, and immediately following ANZAC Round.


The National Rugby League (NRL) today released the full 2025 Ampol State of Origin schedule, which will see the men’s series return to Perth for the first time since 2022 and the women’s series opener to once again feature as part of the four-day NRL Magic Round festival.

I imagine the Race of Champions will impact more than just the first round. When it's been held at other sporting grounds in the past, generally nothing has been played at the same venue for 3-4 weeks afterwards. Maybe that's more coincidental than anything else, though I'd be surprised if laying down a race track and having two full days of racing (plus testing, setup, removal, etc) doesn't have any impact on the pitch.
Pardon the ignorance as I don't follow it, but how the hell do you have a car race inside Accor stadium?

I think they mean a double header at Optus not hbf park.

The premier looks set to get his wish for more rugby league games, with WA expected to host three National Rugby League fixtures next year, on top of Game II of the State of Origin.

WAtoday and 9News Perth understand the NRL will announce a standalone match and a double header at HBF Park when it releases the 2025 draw.
