NRL returns tonight with the Brisbane Broncos against Paramatta Eels at a spectatorless Suncorp Stadium. Kick-off is 19:50 AEST (10:50 GMT).  First NRL game with one ref since the 2009 season. No idea how this game will go and could be a close one but selected the Broncos in tipping competition.

Got the Sea Eagles v Bulldogs game in the Sky planner to be recorded on Sunday. I have family in Mona Vale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, so became a Manly fan through them. Looking forward to it. More so when fans are back in the stadiums though. Push it up Manly!

Like seeing games from Brookvale or whatever sponsored name it has. Sundays game is at Central Coast Stadium, Gosford.

Lottoland Stadium. Everyone just calls it Brookie’ though.

Great half, new 6 again rule really speeding the game up although the players look tired already. Parra have come flying out of the blocks.

34-6 for the Eels. Fox Sports had virtual crowd noise which made the broadcast better.

I didn't like the idea of crowd noise but thought it worked well other than the occasional random bits of cheering and applause where it sounded more like a crowd applauding a good golf shot.

It's definitely better in an empty ground than football is, with all the chat of the defenders and the ref mics. I'd imagine it will be the same when Union restarts.

Don't mind the crowd sounds, the only issue I've had is you don't get the "oooooh" when someone gets absolutely smashed, as has happened a couple of times in the last few minutes in the Storm-Raiders game!

Have watched most of it so far this weekend. Parra, Roosters and now Canberra all looked very strong, wouldn't be surprised if that's the top 3. Interested to see what happens with Penrith and Newcastle tomorrow, not convinced either is all that great but whoever goes 3/3 will get a huge boost from that.

Could be neither.

If only Ruben Garrick had his kicking boots on, then Manly would have crushed the Bulldogs by even more than the final 32-6 scoreline. Some great handling and movement between DCE, Tom, Jake, and Curtis. The Sea Eagles must be in the conversation for the Premiers. Weapons all over the pitch. Just hope they remain injury free, unlike last season.

This week is Round 4 with games tonight, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tonight’s game is at Suncorp with the Broncos hosting the Roosters. Broncos lost by 28 points last Thursday, the margin could be higher this week. Tomorrow it’s Panthers v Warriors and Storm v Rabbitohs. Saturday Eels v Sea Eagles and Cowboys v Sharks. Sunday Raiders v Knights and Titans v Wests Tigers. Monday is the Queen’s Birthday holiday with an afternoon game between the Bulldogs v Dragons (07:05 GMT).
