The NRL have released both the Round 1 draw for the NRL and also the 2025 State of Origin series dates for both the men and the womens series.

I go through each of the Round 1 games and also the State of Origin series dates with a little chat about each one of them ahead of the full draw to be released on Thursday 21st November at 11am AEDT. Pencil the dates in rugby league fans.
