The NRL 2025 season opens in Las Vegas with Ben Hunt joining the Broncos amid team adjustments.

The NRL 2025 season is set to launch with a historic double-header in Las Vegas on March 2, featuring the Broncos facing the Roosters and the Rabbitohs taking on the Sea Eagles. The Broncos have made a significant move by acquiring Ben Hunt, who will step in for the suspended Ezra Mam alongside Adam Reynolds. Once Mam returns, Hunt is expected to transition to hooker, enhancing the team`s flexibility in key positions.

The Roosters are grappling with a forward crisis, prompting coach Trent Robinson to make necessary adjustments. Sam Walker has been confirmed as the starting halfback. Meanwhile, the Raiders are deliberating on Jamal Fogarty`s future, needing to make a decision by Round 6 regarding his contract for 2026.

The Bulldogs find themselves in a tough spot with Toby Sexton, whose future hangs in the balance after the club`s failed pursuit of Ben Hunt. The Sharks` Nicho Hynes aims to rebound from a dip in form, while Braydon Trindall looks to build on his development. The Dolphins are focusing on young talent Isaiya Katoa, supported by veteran Kodi Nikorima.

The Titans are experimenting with Jayden Campbell and AJ Brimson in the halves under new coach Des Hasler. The Sea Eagles boast a strong pairing in Daly Cherry-Evans and Luke Brooks, while the Storm`s duo of Jahrome Hughes and Cameron Munster remains formidable. The Warriors are tasked with filling the gap left by Shaun Johnson, and the Knights are engaged in a heated halves battle with Tyson Sharpe`s surprising switch to five-eighth.
