Summary
Thank you for joining David and I today to cover what has been a tremendous success for the NRL. The crowd turned up, the players delivered, and everyone looks to have got through the weekend scandal-free.
It was always going to be difficult to live up to the absurd hype, but the two matches were excellent demonstrations of how fast, skilful, and concussive NRL footy can be.
The proof of the pudding is now for the suits to determine. Has the experiment been money well spent? Will it prove a long-term investment? Are there more overseas jaunts to follow? Irrespective of those answers, the NRL can be satisfied with their work for this season launch.
There will be more rugby league coming your way throughout the season, and who knows, maybe we get David back to become a full-time NRL expert?
