The Tigers would struggle for the rest of the season and secure a third straight wooden spoon, but there were some good signs in 2024 that sharp improvement could come next season.It’s the most wonderful time of the year. In the Raiders’ changing rooms, a post-match haka also took place to celebrate the life of Quentin Pongia, sparked by Jordan Rapana after Ricky Stuart invited the 1994 Canberra premiership-winning side into the sheds.
The Roosters gun was handed a four-game ban for the incident, which saw him rubbed out of game two and eventually the series. Then in the second clash, the Roosters put the hurt on the Dragons, scoring 10 tries in a 60-18 rout at Allianz Stadium. Red V bosses, and Shane Flanagan, denied the request and the incoming coach made it clear the veteran No.7 would remain at the club.
In only their second NRL season, the Dolphins were a single game away from making the finals under Wayne Bennett. Now the Dolphins will have to find their feet under Kristian Woolf, who has replaced Bennett following his departure to the Rabbitohs.18. HORROR SEASON SPARKS WAYNE’S RABBITOHS RETURNTheir coach, Jason Demetriou was sacked, and superstar Latrell Mitchell spent periods sidelined due to suspension before his season ended following a photo emerging of him standing over a white powder.
He’s previously led the Rabbitohs to two preliminary finals appearances and a grand final, going down to the Panthers in 2021, the first of what’s now four straight titles.Wayne Bennett returns for a second stint at the Rabbitohs in 2025.It’s a fair assumption to think a Dally M winner eligible for any nation would be picked to play for their country. But not Olivia Kernick.
It still remains to be seen why the Tricolours gun was left out, but it’s one of the most confusing selection decisions in recent rugby league memory.Source: News Corp AustraliaThe 2024 Pacific Championships were big for the Jillaroos, desperate to avenge last year’s shock loss in the Pacific Cup final.
Overall, Australia ended the tournament with a 122-4 aggregate across their three games, and it’s fair to say it will be hard to beat the Jillaroos in years to come.Source: Getty ImagesCraig Bellamy’s Storm were the best team throughout the regular season, and as such won the Minor Premiership. However, a ridiculous individual season from halfback Jahrome Hughes, which earnt him the 2024 Dally M Medal, still saw Melbourne consistently dominate their opponents.
Tonga surged out of the gates and led 24-0 after 34 minutes in a contest that looked dead and buried, before Stacey Jones’ outfit fought their way back. However, after the Roosters gun had a solid game, Edwards was still parachuted into the No.1 jersey as the preferred option after Tedesco’s 23 straight NSW appearances.
Manly’s clash with the Bulldogs ended his unwanted record, tallying the most first grade games without a finals appearance across 11 years. Stephen Crichton emerged as one of the game’s best leaders, while Bronson Xerri, Connor Tracey, Jaeman Salmon, Josh Curran and Kurt Mann all become integral members of the club’s top 17.
They may not have been officially announced yet, but the NRL has all but confirmed the Western Bears and Papua New Guinea will be the next two expansion teams in the NRL. A number of New Zealand bids are now vying to be the 20th team in the future to create a rivalry with the Warriors and complete the 20-team model.9. BRONCOS IMPLOSION ENDS KEVVIE REIGN
The team went from second in 2023 to 12th in the space of a year, prompting an end of season review and Kevvie Walters was made the scapegoat for a disappointing campaign. However, Queensland bounced back to seal a memorable one point win in game two, on the back of a clutch field goal from Lauren Brown to set up a mouth-watering decider.
The Broncos were minor premiers before being upset 14-0 by the Sharks in the semi-finals, while the Roosters upset the Knights 25-16 to advance to the final. Not many experts gave the Blues a chance of upsetting Queensland’s dominance in the State of Origin series after two straight wins under Billy Slater.
However, it was a team effort in a gritty performance in game three that saw the Blues become the first NSW team to win a series decider in enemy territory since 2005.Source: The Daily TelegraphIn a nailbiting count that came down to the absolute wire, Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes beat out Roosters fullback James Tedesco to the 2024 Dally M Medal by a single vote.
Every year in the NRL a coach is sacked mid-season, but few could have predicted Brad Arthur would be one of the dominoes to fall after guiding the Eels to the 2022 Grand Final.It emerged Arthur’s sacking was part of an audacious and failed plan to land Wayne Bennett, with the Dolphins coach deciding to return to Souths over joining Parramatta.
In the second round against the Warriors, Coates came up with a stunning last-minute match winner that had to be seen to be believed. Thousands of fans flocked to America to be a part of the season opening weekend and filled plenty of seats in the state of the art Allegiant Stadium, home of the most recent NFL Super Bowl.
