The NRL is considering shaking things up with a potentially shorter season as new expansion teams look set to shake up the competition.
CEO Andrew Abdo believes that with more teams in the mix, the league can afford to be more agile with its scheduling.
The NRL is gearing up for major growth, with plans in place for a 20-team competition by the mid-2020s.
The bidding war for the league's biggest expansion since the Super League scuffle is heating up, and it looks like Perth is in the running to join as the 18th team in 2027.
With the league on the cusp of potentially big changes, fans can expect a mix of excitement, competition, and perhaps a few surprises along the way.
The future of Rugby League is looking bright and full of potential, with new opportunities on the horizon for players and fans alike.
So strap in, because the game is about to get even more intense.
