Broncos finals fate on the line against Eels tonight
Storm v Roosters live on Channel 9 Melbourne on Friday
Latrell Mitchell’s Rabbitohs v Cowboys on Saturday
Two NRLW games live and free

The two premiership powerhouses of the last decade, the Storm and Roosters, will electrify Friday Night Footy this week to herald six big NRL and NRLW games available Live and Free on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Live on Channel 9HD in Melbourne, Storm maestro Cameron Munster will be out to provide the lightning strike that halts the Roosters’ late-season surge of six wins in a row at AAMI Park.

But the red-hot Roosters have their own lightning in a bottle. The No.1 player in the world right now, captain James Tedesco, is in scintillating form after their demolition of the Tigers last week, one of the biggest wins in NRL history.

At risk of slipping out of the finals race, the Broncos must get a handle on Mitchell Moses and the Eels in Brisbane tonight on Thursday Night Footy from 7.30pm in Adam Reynolds’ 250th NRL game.

The Cowboys will have a king-size assignment on Saturday Night Footy from 7.00pm: trying to lasso Rabbitohs superstar Latrell Mitchell as both teams look to claim a big scalp and send an ominous warning to their rivals ahead of the finals.

The NRLW enters Round 2 with two games on 9GemHD. First up, the only clubs to win a premiership in the competition so far, the Roosters and Broncos, from 1.00pm Saturday, before the Titans v Knights NRL/NRLW double-header on Sunday Footy from 3.00pm.
 
The best commentary team in the game will cover all the action, with rugby league legends Andrew Johns, Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Johnathan Thurston, Sonny Bill Williams, Paul Vautin, Brad Fittler, Paul Gallen, and premiership-winning coach Phil Gould weighing in on the biggest moments right across Round 24.

Then on Monday Night on Channel 9, 100% Footy hosted by James Bracey with Phil Gould and Paul Gallen wraps up the rugby league action with the latest news and the big talking points. Catch-up is available on 9Now or via podcast.
