It’s the final round of the regular season in the NRL, and Super League is also reaching the play-offs at a rapid pace – which means every game this weekend is worth tuning into.

In total, there are a staggering 21 games available to watch between Thursday and Sunday this week, and plenty of ways to get your rugby league fix.

Here’s how to watch everything.

It’s the final round of the NRL’s regular season, and it starts with a cracker between Brisbane and Melbourne live on Sky on Thursday morning.
