In Round 3, Wests Tigers return to Campbelltown Sports Stadium for a huge clash against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, with the Sunday afternoon game the first time the Bulldogs have played in South West Sydney since 2011. Wests Tigers' first away game of 2019 is a trip to the foot of the mountains to take on the Penrith Panthers at Panthers Stadium on Friday night. After not making the trip north of the border at all in 2018 Wests Tigers' Queensland fans will get to see the team early next season with a Round 5 game against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.

Only two rounds will be directly impacted by State of Origin.

Eels confirm 'a few issues' holding up contract talks with Jarryd Hayne

Parramatta could start their NRL pre-season without star Jarryd Hayne as contract negotiations look set to continue into the summer. Barely a month has passed since the grand final, but the Eels will be one of the first clubs to begin preparations for the 2019 campaign next Thursday. Whether Hayne will join them is under a cloud, with Parramatta CEO Bernie Gurr suggesting the parties are unlikely to strike a deal by next week.

"I don't think it's imminent in the next few days. It wouldn't be in the next few days," Burr said on Thursday. "We're still talking to Jarryd. We've obviously expressed our desire, and let that be known publicly that we'd like Jarryd to stay at our club. "But there's a few issues to work through before we cross that bridge." Gurr's comments come just days after the former NFL convert was linked with a possible move to St George Illawarra. Pressed on whether the club would like Hayne's future to be sorted out before day one of pre-season, Gurr said: "Obviously we would.

Kiwi skipper praises wife for remarkably courageous act

New Zealand supporters can thank the fortitude of Dallin Watene-Zelezniak’s wife for his assured performance in their upset of the Kangaroos. In the lead-up up to Saturday’s first Test against England in Hull, Kiwis skipper Watene-Zelezniak revealed the remarkable attitude of his heavily pregnant wife Purdy, who wondered if she was going into labour pains in Sydney on the eve of the trans-Tasman Test in Auckland.With her husband having just been unveiled as the country’s new captain, she decided not to be a distraction.“She didn’t want to tell me because she knew how big this game was for us and New Zealand,” Watene-Zelezniak said.

“After the game she told me and I caught the next flight back in the morning.” It was a triumph all round for the Panthers fullback, whose inspired display helped the Kiwis to a 26-24 win. And he was back in time to welcome the arrival of daughter Indigo. Leaving his young family behind days later for the England series was a wrench, but the 23-year-old has unfinished business.

Des Hasler returns to Sea Eagles as coach

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are pleased to announce the appointment of Des Hasler as Head Coach for the next three years. A premiership winning player and coach with the Sea Eagles, Hasler returns ‘home’ to a club he coached to two NRL premierships and three grand finals from 2004-11. After taking Manly to the finals from 2005-2007, Hasler delivered the Club’s seventh premiership title in 2008, a record-breaking 40-0 victory over the Melbourne Storm. In 2009, Hasler coached Manly to a World Club Challenge victory before leading the Sea Eagles to the finals later that season. He backed it up with another finals series in 2010.

The Sea Eagles then won their eighth premiership title in 2011 under Hasler with a 24-10 victory over the New Zealand Warriors. Hasler was named the Rugby League International Federation Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2011. As a Sea Eagles player, Hasler played 257 games over 12 seasons for Manly, winning premierships in 1987 and 1996. Sea Eagles Chairman Scott Penn welcomed Hasler back to Manly.

Wallabies lose Hodge for spring tour with broken ankle

The Wallabies have suffered a cruel injury blow with Reece Hodge ruled out of the spring tour after fracturing an ankle.Coach Michael Cheika revealed the setback after the Wallabies arrived in Japan on Sunday ahead of Saturday's third Bledisloe Cup clash with the All Blacks in Yokohama.Utility back Hodge, who has played all nine of Australia's Tests so far in 2018, is expected to be off his feet for at least two months, with Cheika yet to decide on a replacement for the four-match tour.Prop Angus Cottrell is also out of Bledisloe selection contention after straining a medial ligament, but he will remain with the squad and is expected to be available for the European Tests against Wales, Italy and England.Hodge
also suffered his injury in training and will fly straight home, leaving Cheika desperately short of proven outside centres as the Wallabies strive to finish what has been an otherwise disappointing year on a high.Hodge has worn the gold No.13 jumper in Australia's past six Tests in the absence of injured specialists Tevita Kuridrani and Samu Kerevi, who only made his comeback from a biceps tear during Saturday's Byron Bay Sevens.Kerevi will join the touring squad in Japan and may be forced into an international return at least via the bench against the All Blacks."He got two [sevens] games under his belt. He's on his way up here, he's had a good block of training and, yes, he'll be a little bit underdone but he's got a lot of experience as well," Cheika said.

Rugby: Illness rules out Jack Goodhue/SBW show, so roll on England

The test against the Wallabies in Yokohama might tell us more about where the Australians are at than the All Blacks given the remarkable fightback from Michael Cheika's men in Salta which overshadowed even the Kiwi comeback in Pretoria a fortnight ago.Can the Wallabies build on their second-half performance against the Pumas when, down 7-31 at halftime, they won the test 45-34? It was the biggest ever comeback in Rugby Championship history, and owed a fair bit to the departure of Argentina No 10 Nicolas Sanchez after 28 minutes as well as a vastly improved effort from the visitors after a Cheika spray at the break.

If momentum counts for anything in this game, it would appear the Wallabies have it.Cheika's position as coach appears safe but could have been on shaky ground had his team not responded against the Pumas, to whom they lost on the Gold Coast, and now he and his team might have a little more to play for than the All Blacks.The world champions weren't stretched in beating Australia in Sydney and Auckland in August to put away the Bledisloe Cup for the year, and they lost the corresponding test, also a dead rubber, in Brisbane last year.There might be more scrutiny on Steve Hansen's men this time after their epic tests against the Springboks in Wellington and Pretoria, the latter won 32-30 with the final kick of the game.

Incredible act of respect from Tongan crowd amazes fans

The historic clash between Australia and Tonga had it all, with over 50 points on the scoreboard, a controversial eight-point try and a near sell-out crowd. But one thing everyone seemed to agree on was the incredible atmosphere produced by the underdog’s fans – and they even produced an incredible moment of respect by singing the Australian national anthem as well. The 26,214 strong crowd at Mt Smart Stadium was an overwhelming sea of red and white, and the infectious harmony they produced had people talking. As Australia held off an inspired Tongan side, rugby league fans took to Twitter to express their utter amazement at the singing that was broadcast for much of the match:

At times, it was difficult to hear the commentators over the blaring chorus – one could only imagine what the players could hear. Australia prevailed 34-16 over a resilient Tongan outfit, but their singing fans would be proud of their efforts regardless – and it certainly didn’t go unnoticed from either side. “What a crowd,” Australian skipper Boyd Cordner said after the match. “It’s all about growing the game and look at this. This is what rugby league is all about, it was a pleasure to play in front of all of you tonight. “It is an experience we haven’t experienced before.” When the post-match commentator noted the Tongan supporters had even sung the Australian national anthem as well, Cordner said it was incredibly humbling.

Tonga fightback falls short against Roos

Kangaroos proved why they are world champions by overcoming a determined second half Tongan push to prevail 34-16 in their historic Test match. The Mate Ma'a were behind by 20 and had forced the Kangaroos into a fourth straight line dropout when the sellout Mt Smart Stadium crowd broke into hymns. And their prayers were answered when Solomone Kata crossed, instantly reviving memories of that near upset of England in their World Cup semi-final last year.However,
that was as close as the rising powerhouse got as James Tedesco restored the Kangaroos' lead in the 64th minute and effectively sealed victory. It was the contest Tonga - led by former Kangaroo Andrew Fifita - had been calling for since just falling short of a World Cup final on the same ground in 2017. And the fans turned out in their droves, with thousands lining up hours before kick-off to produce a sea of red and create a memorable atmosphere in Auckland. Unfortunately for the Tongan throng, their side started slowly.

Dragons great's brutal Jarryd Hayne declaration

St George Illawarra don't need Jarryd Hayne to push for next year's NRL title, according to former Dragons centre Matt Cooper. The Dragons have been linked with making a play at Hayne this week, who remains unsigned by Parramatta as negotiations continue over his stay. The Dragons wouldn't publicly comment on speculation when contacted earlier this week, but it remains questionable whether they would have the room within their salary cap to offer a sizeable deal for the two-time Dally M Medallist.

Cooper played with Hayne as a youngster at State of Origin level, and while he was unsure if the reports were accurate he didn't believe there was a need for Hayne in the Dragons' roster next year. "If we were to sign him I don't know where he would play," Cooper told reporters at the Dragons' announcement of an NRL game at Mudgee. "We do have a great side at the moment. As much as he is a great player it would be hard to fit him into the side if we have a healthy side."If he signs here that would be great, he's a great player and leader. But in saying that I think we've got the side that can win the comp next year."
