Go to the pub editionNRL>GAME 1Canberra Raiders v Melbourne Storm6:00pm AEST on Fox and KayoGIO Stadium2.08-1.78>GIO Stadium is the venue for a Friday evening clash that carries immense weight for the Storm, who are desperate to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat for the first time since 2012. The Canberra Raiders arrested a four-game slide last week with a nail-biting 36-34 victory over the Rabbitohs in Perth. The Melbourne Storm are in a rare slump, coming off a 14-38 loss to the Warriors. Their defensive systems have looked uncharacteristically fragile, conceding a massive 158 points across six rounds. In their last meeting the Raiders secured a dramatic 20-18 golden point victory. Historically, the Storm lead the head-to-head 38-17Raiders 1-12 3.15Raiders 13+ 4.75Storm 1-12 3.00Storm 13+ 3.50Raiders +1.5 1.99 Storm -1.5 1.82>GAME 2Redcliffe Dolphins v Penrith Panthers8:00pm AEST on Fox, Kayo and Ch9TIO Stadium4.90-1.18>TIO Stadium in Darwin provides a tropical backdrop for a Friday night clash as the league-leading Panthers face a Dolphins side coming off a timely bye. The Dolphins used their Round 6 bye to regroup following a heavy loss to Manly. They remain a dangerous attacking unit, as shown by their wins over the Knights and Titans earlier this year. The Penrith Panthers enter Round 7 looking to avenge their first defeat of the season—a shock 16-32 loss to the Bulldogs. Despite the loss, they remain top of the ladder with a league-best +134 points differential. The Dolphins stunned the Panthers 30-12 in Round 6 last season. However, Penrith has won two of the three meetings between the clubs since the Dolphins' inceptionDolphins 1-12 5.90Dolphins 13+ 14.00Panthers 1-12 3.25Panthers 1.69Dolphins +14.5 1.89 Panthers -14.5 1.91previous thread >>154231208

The Bubblehead Era 2026-2026>An AFL-endorsed helmet company has backtracked on its claims of "superior protection against concussion" and the league is now also facing a complaint lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on the matter.>After the ABC reported on GameGear's headgear, the company removed from its website promotional claims about its ability to protect players from concussion.>Another claim, that the helmet's force reduction reduced "the risk of concussion" when compared to other headgear, has also been removed.>The GameGear headgear is being sold for $215 while its efficacy is still being studied, in a move that has been branded as "potentially dangerous" by leading sports neuroscientist Alan Pearce.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-17/afl-backed-helmet-gamegear-pulls-concussion-protection-claims/106572742

>>154246355The NRL can fix this from happening again by only allowing NRL approved equipment, otherwise it’s a legal issue
>>154246685I dont think theres any reason to stop a player from using it but NRL should jhst make a statement saying that they dont think theres any proven benefit (to protect themselves)
>NRL teams will be allowed to retain gambling sponsors until their deals expire, meaning their logos will continue to be displayed on jerseys until at least the end of the 2028 season.>Sydney Roosters, Penrith, Wests Tigers, Newcastle and the Dolphins all have sports betting brands displayed on the back of their jumpers – an advertising space that NRL teams sell for as much as $750,000 a season – while another eight teams have corporate partnerships with betting agencies.>The federal government’s grandfathering of the bans would allow teams with continuing agreements with betting operators to see them out.>The concession does not just apply to the NRL, but it is the only major Australian sports code in which teams still have gambling sponsorships on their playing attire.
>>154246685There's a difference between approval and endorsement. They approve long lasting mascara in the NRLW but you don't see PVL in Maybelline commercials.
>>154247229>ynr the winfield cup>ynr the rothmans medal
A PVL Maybelline ad would be based
