NRL 2026 NRL Pre-Season Challenge

[Jonno13]

Anywhere on tv to watch the World Club Challenge or no interest from TV channels this end of the world?

12-0 10minutes in. Broncos looking very shaky

16-0 Hull kick to come 21st minute

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Hull loses to York, Hull humps Brisbane... Ata Hingano > Adam Reynolds confirmed

 

[Jonno13]

Is it on NZ tv?

This game would have been a good excuse to work from home.

Is it on NZ tv?

not sure.

Saw it posted and work and saw it posted so was checking the Sky Guide. Can't find it.

Mind you I was looking at Saturday at first thinking Friday UK time. Then I saw AEDT.

It used to be annoying when it was played on Mondays Aus/NZ time.

 

[Teets]

Losing to York, then beating the Bronx a week later is crazy.

 

[juju]

Broncos embarrassing the NRL.

They're lucky the nrl acts like it doesn't exist and most fans aren't even aware of it. So much for expanding the game.

The NRL is looking at buying a share in SL or even the whole shebang.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Super leagues already into their domestic season with a couple of competitive games played and teams match fit.

I’ve heard some NRL teams are getting beat by C grade teams still early in preseason so no surprises if the 2 teams form are vastly different.

Hull KR had only played one Super League game, losing to the newly promoted York Knights. Let’s not pretend they were in their prime.

 

[Mr Drag]

Great to see King Hiku score a try!

Fair enough and I guess the timing of it doesn't help. Wouldn't want to injure players before the season starts for what is essentially a meaningless game that most treat as a trial.

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

Who was treating it as a trial? Did Brisbane run out some promising under 21s or something?

I reckon they threw that game against York
Broncos thought all they had to do was turn up
If you are five percent off in attitude yes you can lose

Lots of chat but a super league team can be as good as any nrl team, its the consistency that the SL struggles with and where they would fall down if they played nrl

 

[LeagueJunkie]

That was impressive
