NRL on Channel 9 round 6 fixture

NRL on Channel 9 round 6 fixture – Nathan Cleary’s Panthers looking to claw back their winning ways against the Dolphins, a heavyweight bout between the Broncos and Roosters plus the Knights and Wests Tigers on Sunday make up a whopping weekend of footy, live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Australian Kangaroos and New South Wales Blues fullback Dylan Edwards joins NRL on Nine before he makes his return from injury, when the Panthers aim to avoid a five-peat of losses on Thursday Night Footy, against the Dolphins from 7.30pm AEST at Suncorp Stadium.

Nathan Cleary’s former understudy at Penrith, now Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa, shares his journey in a special feature story before he takes on his junior club, and the Eighth Immortal Andrew Johns selects his top five prop forwards of the modern era.

A rivalry between two of the NRL’s heavyweight clubs will head up Friday Night Footy when the Broncos host the Roosters. The best of the Broncos will chat live to NRL on Nine with flashy fullback Reece Walsh, coach Michael Maguire and a special edition of footy show segment Their House, when club legend Sam Thaiday visits the home of returning recruit Ben Hunt.

We dive into what makes Broncos machine turned man Payne Haas tick, and the last Broncos premiership captain Darren Lockyer, reflects on the good times from their 2000 Grand Final victory against the Roosters.

From the chook pen Roosters captain James Tedesco will preview their chances and injured halfback Sam Walker gives his thoughts on their new halves pairing, which features local junior Hugo Savala.

The Newcastle Knights will lean on their patriotic home support against the resurgent Wests Tigers on Sunday Arvo Footy. In coverage from 3.00pm proud Cessnock Goannas local junior Fletcher Sharpe shares his journey to the Knights, we kick it with the kids with a new Sunday Footy Sidekick joining the broadcast, and we chat to the Thompson family before brothers Leo and Tyrone Thompson play NRL together for the first time for the Knights.

We’ll enter the Wests Tigers jungle with a look back at their 2005 premiership victory, chatting to coach Benji Marshall and star recruit Jarome Luai before the panel weigh in on how much their prodigious halfback Lachlan Galvin is worth at this early stage of his career.

In commentary exclusively for Nine’s Wide World of Sports is rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns and fellow premiership winners Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Phil Gould, Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler, Paul Gallen, Darren Lockyer, Millie Elliott and Sam Thaiday.
