Knights and Sharks in steel city showdown

NRL on Nine begins with the battle of the west tonight, and ends with the match of the round when Prince Ponga and his proud Knights defend their kingdom on Sunday, on Channel 9HD and 9Now.

PANTHERS V EELS: BATTLE OF THE WEST TONIGHT
GAME OF THE ROUND: KNIGHTS V SHARKS MEN’S AND WOMEN’S FROM 1.45PM

Kalyn Ponga has taken the Knights to new heights as he dances his side into the finals in a Knights Old Boys day joust for the ages. But Nicho Hynes will be out to dethrone him when he parks the Sharks in Steel City for a sensational serving of Sunday Arvo Footy.

The girls will start the Sunday battle royale in Knights v Sharks NRLW from 1.45pm live and free, leading into the NRL coverage from 3.30pm.

Tonight, on Thursday Night Footy, the Panthers’ premiership march rolls into a bitter local derby against the Eels.

The Eels, who are out of finals contention, have won three of their last five games against the Panthers. With the bye next week, they want to go out all guns blazing in their final game of the season, while a win will take the Panthers closer to securing the 2023 minor premiership.

The Cowboys take on the supercoach Sheriff when Wayne Bennett and his Dolphins feature in an all-Queensland clash on Friday Night Footy.

Then an NRLW triple-header begins a big day of Saturday games on Nine from 11.00am, before “Reece Lightning” Walsh and the bucking Brisbane Broncos descend on Canberra for Saturday Night Footy at 7.00pm against Ricky Stuart’s Raiders.
