An annual highlight on the NRL calendar, the Roosters v Dragons clash on ANZAC Day will headline the week in front of a full house at the new Allianz Stadium for the first time. The stirring build-up to kick-off, featuring the Last Post, will be captured by Wide World of Sports with exclusive access to the ground from 3.00pm on Tuesday. 

ANZAC Round fires up on Thursday Night Footy when superstars Latrell Mitchell and Nathan Cleary face-off in Rabbitohs v Panthers. 

The Panthers have been the Rabbitohs’ kryptonite in recent seasons, beating them in a Grand Final and knocking them out of the preliminary final in 2022. However, this year the teams seem closer than ever, and don’t be surprised if passions spill over. 

The Brisbane Broncos will burst on to Friday Night Footy when they meet the Eels in Darwin.

Sitting pretty at the top of the table with Adam Reynolds pulling the strings, Payne Haas leaving a path of destruction and Reece Walsh ripping through the backfield, the Broncos look ominous but need to keep it going against the Eels, 2022 grand finalists.

And Sunday Arvo Footy pits the trying Tigers against Tommy Turbo’s Sea Eagles. The Tigers are desperate to get into the winners circle and face a tough task in containing a bruising Manly forward pack and Origin stars including Daly Cherry-Evans and Jake Trbojevic, Tom’s tireless brother.
