The weekend’s rugby league closed out tonight with a brilliant Championship matchup between Widnes Vikings and Halifax Panthers, and the coming week has even more to offer.
With the NRL starting it means we’re treated to some rugby league from down under on top of Super League and Championship fixtures.
The action gets underway on Thursday morning and goes right through until Monday evening when the week is rounded off with another brilliant Championship fixture.
Thursday 2nd March
Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm: 9:05am on Sky Sports Arena
Warrington Wolves vs Salford Red Devils: 8:00pm on Sky Sports Arena
The NRL season kicks off with last season’s runners-up Parramatta welcoming Melbourne and it serves as a morning game to warm fans up for the evening’s Super League action. That action sees the resurgent Warrington host Salford who are coming off a loss to Hull KR.
Friday 3rd March
Penrith Panthers vs Brisbane Broncos: 9:05am on Sky Sports Arena
St Helens vs Leeds Rhinos: 8:00pm on Sky Sports Arena
Friday sees the two sides who contested the World Club Challenge in their first home games as they aim to defend their respective titles. Penrith host Herbie Farnworth and the Broncos whilst Saints welcome a winless Leeds Rhinos to the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Sunday 5th March
The Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters: 5:05am on Sky Sports Arena
Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins get their first ever competitive game underway on Sunday morning and they’re in for a stiff test as they host the Roosters.

Championship leaders Featherstone host a Bradford side that ended Toulouse’s unbeaten start this past weekend. Sean Long’s men have been scoring an average of 57 points a game so far meaning Mark Dunning’s Bulls will be in for a stiff test.
