With the NRL officially back, it means there are 13 live rugby league games that fans can watch on TV this week and we’ve got all the details.
Round One of the NRL got underway in Las Vegas where Newcastle Knights beat North Queensland Cowboys before Canterbury Bulldogs edged St George Illawarra Dragons in golden point thanks to a Stephen Crichton drop goal.
Twelve of the remaining thirteen NRL teams will be in action starting from Thursday with at least one rugby league game available to watch from Thursday through Sunday.
On top of that slate of NRL action, there are of course seven Super League games with all available to watch but it’s Wakefield Trinity v Hull FC and Leigh Leopards v Catalans Dragons that have been selected as the main Sky Sports matches, meaning they’ll have extensive pre and post-match coverage.
Another massive game to watch out for sees master versus apprentice as Paul Rowley’s St Helens take on Kurt Haggerty’s Bradford Bulls, with Haggerty previously an assistant to Rowley at Salford.
Other games include Toulouse hosting Wigan, whilst Las Vegas victors Leeds Rhinos return at home to Castleford, whereas losers Hull KR make the trip to Huddersfield with both of those games on Sunday.
