From a grand final replay to superstar recruits facing their former clubs for the first time, the 2025 NRL season is poised to get off to an explosive start.
Penrith have been handed an arduous start to their campaign to win a fifth consecutive premiership after the NRL ramped up the rivalries in the opening five rounds of the 2025 draw.
The rivalries and grudge matches are also an early highlight. St George Illawarra recruit Damien Cook won’t have to wait long to take on South Sydney, their clash scheduled for round two. The late Saturday game also marks the first time Brisbane coach Michael Maguire takes on a Wests Tigers outfit that sacked him and left him in NRL purgatory until he took over from Kevin Walters at Red Hill.
