Hello and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of round nine of the 2024 NRL season and – of course – Happy Star Wars Day to one and all.

If you think because it’s May 4 I’ll be peppering this blog with Star Wars gifs and references, you’re probably right, but don’t let that put you off too much.
My name is Simon Smale and I am thrilled to be here with you this Saturday afternoon as we look forward to three games from the National Rugby League.
We’ll kick things off with the Bulldogs and the Tigers, follow that up with the Titans against the Storm and wrap the whole kaboodle up with a Queensland derby in Townsville as the Cowboys host the Dolphins.
That’s ages away yet though, so get your questions in to us throughout the afternoon and I’ll do my best to answer as many as I can.
