WHAT IS THE NRL?

Fast facts

Sydney Roosters were the last club to reach an NRL Grand Final a year after finishing last, achieving the feat in 2010.

Extinct club North Sydney Bears have the unwanted record of the longest premiership drought, going title-less in their last 77 seasons of existence.

Melbourne Storm legend Cameron Smith holds the records for most games (430) and points (2,786) in NRL history.
