Nine screes the NRL Beanie Round live from tonight.

With survival rates only increasing by one per cent in the past 35 years, the Mark Hughes Foundation has set the goal of raising $3.5 million for brain cancer research.

The Sharks and Dragons local derby fires up Beanie Round on Thursday Night Footy from Shark Park in the Sutherland Shire.

All eyes will be on Dragons skipper Ben Hunt after a dramatic week of headlines, however the Sharks, with Nicho Hynes out to keep his name in contention for Origin III, will be showing no mercy against their crosstown rivals.

In the game of the round on Friday Night Footy, the Storm and Panthers welcome back their Origin stars for this top-of-the-table clash.

Cameron Munster, Brian To’o, Stephen Crichton and Liam Martin have all been named for the game, which Melbourne viewers will see on Channel 9.

Sunday Arvo Footy pits the Manly Sea Eagles against the Sydney Roosters. Both teams’ finals chances are hanging by a thread, making this a desperation game that could decide the fate of the loser in the closest season in years.

The heart and soul of the Sea Eagles, Jake Trbojevic, will make his long awaited return from injury, while the Roosters welcome back young gun Joseph Sua’ali’i to boost their backline.

Don’t miss the pre-game coverage from 3.00pm when the Mark Hughes Foundation trek arrives at the ground with Mark Hughes after their 150-kilometre walk from Newcastle to Brookvale for brain cancer fundraising and awareness.

  1. Im wondering why the Storm v Panthers game is being played at Docklands instead of AAMI Park. I have a feeling that Docklands is too big to host regular NRL games. There is an AFL match between W Bulldogs-Freo on Saturday (which will be delayed in WA). It wouldn’t surprise me if Storm home games would move to GMHBA on temporary basis due to ohter scheduled events.
