Just like that, a new NRL season is almost upon us which means clubs are beginning to put the finishing touches on their preparations ahead of the upcoming trials.
As always the Indigenous vs. Maori All Stars match and the Charity Shield between the Dragons and Rabbitohs will be the main drawcards across the pre-season trials starting in February.
But there are plenty of other reasons to tune in, with the trials to likely mark the first game in new colours for the likes of Adam Reynolds, Josh Addo-Carr and Nicho Hynes.
Every club will play at least two trials matches before the regular season commences on March 10th. Read below to see who your club is playing and when.
All times are AEDT.
