Round 9: Everything you need to know to tune in

The fans are back, most teams can play at home and the footy has been thrilling - the Telstra Premiership is in full flight.

After a bumper round that included the instant classic between the Storm and Roosters, Round 9 promises to be just as entertaining as we near the halfway mark of the regular season.

Canberra's clash with rivals Melbourne at GIO Stadium is perhaps the match of the round, while tussles between the Rabbitohs and Wests Tigers and Sharks and Panthers also stick out.

Crowds of up to 10,000 (or as much as 25 percent of a venue) are currently permitted in NSW and Queensland.

A capacity crowd of 1500 Raiders members are allowed in Canberra.

NRL.com will have live match centres which include updates as they happen, in-match highlights and live audio coverage.
