NRL on Nine round 6 fixture – Get ready for an Easter footy feast when Nine’s Wide World of Sports presents four NRL games in Round 6 for free from Thursday to Sunday, on Channel 9HD or to stream for free on 9Now.
On Thursday Night Footy, the man dubbed “The Cheese”, Brandon Smith, returns to Melbourne for his first appearance against his former club when the Roosters take on the Storm. Barbs have been traded in the media between Smith and Storm prop Christian Welch ahead of an encounter that promises plenty of fireworks from two powerhouse clubs.
Nine’s Good Friday of footy brings viewers a double-header. In the afternoon clash, the vastly improved Bulldogs are out to get the chocolates at Accor Stadium against the Bunnies.
Then it’s an all-Queensland clash between the Cowboys and Dolphins in Townsville on Friday Night Footy.
Dolphins Sheriff Wayne Bennett will ride into town with a master plan to round up the Cowboys with his underdog squad. However, the local resistance led by Jason Taumalolo, Valentine Holmes and the returning Scott Drinkwater will be ready for this showdown on their home turf.
Then the Easter edition of Sunday Arvo Footy makes it four games this week when the Titans host the Dragons on the Gold Coast from 3.00pm.
Wide World of Sports has exclusive access to the ground for its commentary team this week, one of more than 140 rugby league games it is bringing viewers for free in 2023.
