Brisbane and Parramatta kick off round three on 28 MayBitter
Sydney rivals face off on the Friday nightThe NRL has avoided a headache by not scheduling any teams with non-vaccinated players for matches in Queensland in the opening two rounds. Under a reworked draw announced on Friday, Brisbane will kick off the NRL’s return when they host Parramatta on Thursday night of 28 May to start round three.
South Sydney will clash with arch-rivals Sydney Roosters on the Friday night, as another highlight in the schedule which only included rounds three and four. Games will be played in NSW and Queensland, with the NRL still to determine what venues will be used.
