Well NRL took up exactly where it left off.
It seems the winners in any given round are drawn out of a hat with the teams being notified about the result five minutes before kick-off.
AFL has no dispensed with anything like a serious pre-season competition so the first round is anyone’s guess in a few cases.
Onward.
