NRL Heritage Round Schedule

Wednesday, February 13

 

The NRL has today released full scheduling details for one of the highlight rounds of the Centenary season.

 
One hundred years on from the April 20 kick-off that started it all in 1908, the Harvey Norman Heritage Round will bring together teams in a series of history-based ‘head to head’ encounters.

 
Clubs will wear special heritage jerseys and face rivals based on the era in which they entered the competition.

 
Wests Tigers will play South Sydney at the historic SCG while, in another clash that dates back to 1908, Newcastle will wear the red and white colours of their 1908-1909 season against the Sydney Roosters when they clash at Gosford’s Bluetongue Stadium.

 
The Heritage Round kicks off on Friday, April 18, with two blockbuster Sydney and Brisbane derby matches.

 
The Eels and Sea Eagles, who joined the competition in 1947, will renew their great rivalry at Parramatta Stadium while the Gold Coast and Brisbane – teams that first entered the premiership in 1988 – will clash at the Titans’ new home ground, Skilled Park.

 
The Dragons and Bulldogs, who first entered the competition in 1921 and 1935 respectively, face off at ANZ Stadium in another classic all-Sydney clash.

 
The Sharks and Panthers, who entered the competition in 1967, clash at Toyota Stadium while the Cowboys and Warriors, who joined in 1995, do battle at Dairy Farmers Stadium in Townsville.

 
The round culminates on Monday, April 21, with premiers Melbourne travelling to Canberra to tackle the Raiders.
