2023 ROUND 2 - OVERVIEW

If you predicted the top three to consist of Manly, St George Illawarra and the Dolphins after the first two rounds, you’re either a genius or a liar.

It’s the exact situation the NRL faces as we head into round three, with the trio winning all of their games, but most impressively the Dolphins earning their lofty spot without the bye. They had to do it in cyclonic conditions in Redcliffe, as well as finding themselves down 12-0 and with a player in the sin bin.

The comeback was made even more impressive by the fact they hit the lead late in the game, overcame a controversial sin bin to halfback Sean O’Sullivan, composed themselves and were able to score the matchwinner with time winding down.

With their exciting style of play, they are fast becoming everyone’s second favourite team in the league.

It shows Wayne Bennett has well and truly got the message across to his side that they can compete with anyone, and with a game against Newcastle this weekend, they’re a big chance of making it a hat-trick.

If they can do just that, it will set up a mouth watering clash with Brisbane in round four, after the Broncos got one over their rivals the Cowboys in front of a huge crowd. They were tested and found themselves down early, but they fought hard and despite losing Corey Oates with a broken jaw after a sickening tackle, had enough in the tank to share in top spot.

They are at home to the Dragons in what is shaping up as a big game on Saturday night. Adam Reynolds has started the year in strong form, and the veteran halfback is doing exactly what he was brought into this side to do, give the young players structure and teach them how to become winners.

And how good was Reece Walsh? He couldn’t have been any more impressive in his first NRL game in Broncos colours. He’s an excitement machine.

The blockbuster clashes continue in Sydney as well on Thursday and Friday nights, with Manly and Parramatta reigniting their feud from the glory days at Brookvale, and the game’s oldest rivalry, the Roosters and the Rabbitohs meeting at Allianz. Injuries played their part with both the Roosters and South Sydney last week, with a few players set to miss the game again.

If there’s anything Mik Oberle knows, they are shows, rodeos and entertaining.

The talented country musician is making his way back to the Warwick to bring another scintillating performance to the town and promising a big night out for those in the crowd.

“My shows are very interactive ones, where the crowd can really get involved,” Oberle said. “I play a lot of country songs that people know, so they can have a chance to sing along. For some I’ll put the volume right down and expect them to scream the words out. There’s lots of chat and audience involvement.”
