The final draft for the last six rounds of this year’s premiership has been published in the Sunday morning News Limitedย newspapers.
Canterbury Bulldogs and Brisbane Broncos are the big free-to-air winners with five matches to be shown in prime time.
In favourable news for all sixteen clubs, there’s an elimination of teams having to back up five days after their previous fixture. ย This has been a concern for the Rugby League Players Association over the last couple of years.
