The NRL Footy Almanac (book) was published for the first time in 2012. If you would like to write a report of a 2013 match please contact Nick or John Harms.
Michael Adams is hoping for a big Dragons performance but his highlight is a little more pedestrian.
Joseph Ryan is a Melbourne-based Melbourne Storm fan.
He makes some astute observations about some of the writing on Melbourne Storm matches in The Rugby League Almanac.
For Nick Campton, watching the Raiders play is an experience fraught with a range of emotions, varying from ecstasy to rage to disappointment to soul-crushing despondence. When he dies, his autopsy will read “Cause of Death: The Canberra Raiders”.
Ian Hauser goes downstairs for one last time, and watches his Broncos get beaten by the clinical Storm.
John Harms enjoyed hearing Billy Slater at the East Coburg CC. He reckons the Storm will give you a very good sight this year.
The first game at Shark Park was supposed to be a celebration but was instead filled with emotion and uncertainty. The Titans bear the brunt of the fury of Cronulla.
No matter the opposition, no matter the occasion, the Storm always do what needs to be done. This game against St George was no different.
Nick Campton watches his Raiders take on Penrith behind enemy lines at the Penrith Leagues Club – it’s not pretty.

I’m not sure I like the Thursday night game, especially to kick off the season, but after a summer of mediocre cricket I’m not complaining
Ecumenical Almanac writer Adam Muyt – who writes for both the AFL and NRL Almanacs – has spotted a nice piece about The Rugby League Almanac from Malcolm Knox.
Jon Williams explains how he came to write the Dolphins club song.
The Sydney launch of the 2012 Rugby League Almanac is on at the Alexandria Hotel on this Wednesday, February 20. Come and have a beer on this historic occasion.
There’s something about, and nothing like, an impromptu game of park footy, or soccer, or rugby or cricket or any sport for that matter. Kardinia Park was much like that on Friday night when the Storm hosted the Raiders for a pre-season jaunt.
Craig Dodson believes Anthony Mundine’s legacy deserves more but he only has himself to blame.
Columnist Richard Hinds casts an eye over The Rugby League Almanac.
