I believe you'll still see that happen, although you're being a little conservative with the use of one team

But it’s hard to go past the Bulldogs-Sea Eagles showdown in Brookvale on Saturday afternoon as the game with the most intriguing sub-plots.
Ciraldo, long regarded as the best up-and-coming coach in the NRL, will get his first chance to show what he has done with a vastly improved Canterbury side that will include two-time premiership-winner Viliame Kikau and former Parramatta hooker Reed Mahoney.
Seibold, who could be announced as Des Hasler’s successor at Manly in the next few days, will complete his NRL resurrection when he takes control of the Sea Eagles side.
Manly will welcome back superstar fullback Tom Trbojevic, who hasn’t played in the NRL since injuring his shoulder against Parramatta back in round 11 (May 20) this year.
Josh Schuster is expected to start the season in the No.6 jersey alongside skipper Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves following the departure of veteran Kieran Foran to the Titans. The Sea Eagles have also lost Dylan Walker (Warriors), Marty Taupau (off contract) and Andrew Davey (Bulldogs).

NRL draw revealed: Who your team will play in round one of the 2023 season
Next year’s NRL competition will kick off with grand finalists Parramatta against the Storm, while Tim Sheens’ Tigers will close out the opening round at Leichhardt Oval.
Like the way they call it 'Brookvale Oval' 🙂
(And we definitely have amends to make after the last time we began a season with a shiny new coach and a Round 1 game v Dogs at Brookie...)

Well done NRL. 3pm kick off in the first days of March? Will be 40 degrees out in the middle & on the hill.
Apparently full draw to be released Thursday / Friday this week.
That's when you find out about the work, fitness wise, that you've put in, in the pre-season.
Up against the Riff....good luck with that Broncs..
Yep, it'll be out on Thursday.

I don't understand why the NRL has scheduled the 'Fins first home match to be at Suncorp rather than their local patch. Yes, Suncorp can attract a larger crowd but surely the 'Fins deserve help from the NRL to be competitive on the field, and to reap the financial rewards the crowd would have contributed at the Leagues Club post-match.

Good chance for us to win a game in Round 1 !!!
