The NRL Pre-Season Challenge is set to kick off on February 15 with 16 exciting matches that will set the stage for the Telstra Premiership.
Reigning champions Manly will be showcasing their new halves pairing of Daly Cherry-Evans and Luke Brooks, while other clubs will also be debuting big-name recruits in their first serious hit-out for 2024.
The Pre-Season Challenge is a great opportunity for teams to fine-tune their combinations and gain valuable game time before the Telstra Premiership season begins.
The format and points system will remain consistent with 2023, with $100,000 in prize money up for grabs, split evenly between clubs and players.
The opening round of the Pre-Season Challenge will feature exciting matchups between the Bulldogs and Storm, Cowboys and Broncos, and Roosters and Sea Eagles.
Additionally, the annual All Stars showcase will take place at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, featuring the best Indigenous and Maori talent in the game.
