The NRL’s pre-season kicks off in only 16 days and a whopping $100,000 payday is on the line for the 18 teams competing.
All 17 NRL clubs, as well as debutants the Dolphins, as well as Super League champions St Helens, will take part in the pre-season challenge, facing both the Dragons and Panthers.
While the competition is set to be littered with rising stars and some of the game’s most exciting talent — NRL bosses have thrown a few curveballs into the mix.
