[edit] Participants

From the sixteen teams that are participating in the regular season, ten teams come from New South Wales (nine from Sydney's metropolitan area), three from Queensland and one from each of Victoria, the ACT and New Zealand.

Just two foundation clubs from New South Wales Rugby League season 1908 are playing in this, the 100th season of the competition: the Sydney Roosters (formerly known as Eastern Suburbs) and the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Of these two clubs, only the Sydney Roosters will be playing their 100th full season, as the South Sydney Rabbitohs were a defunct premiership club for seasons 2000 and 2001 due to their expulsion from the competition following the 1999 premiership.

[edit] Schedule

The 2007 NRL Season kicked off on Friday 16 March 2007 with eight games each round. Monday night football returns during the 2007 season, the first match in which we will see the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs clash on 19 March 2007. The opening round also saw two matches at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium, the first featuring reigning champions Brisbane against fellow Queensland side the Cowboys, while the second match featured the new club, the Gold Coast Titans. The finals series will be contested over a period of four weeks, culminating with the NRL Grand Final being held on Sunday 30 September 2007.

Another change from the previous season includes a reduction in the number of byes per team in the season. With an odd number of teams contesting between 2002 and 2006, the draw meant that at least one team would have to have a bye each weekend. With the inclusion of the 16th team for the 2007 season, the National Rugby League had the option of reverting to back to the system used between 2000 and 2001 where every team played each round. This system will not be used however, but rather teams will be given just a single bye during the year, grouped in periods that will assist clubs around representative fixtures.

[edit] Sponsorship

Telecommunications giant Telstra once again hold the naming rights to the premiership season and for the seventh season the competition will be known as the "Telstra Premiership". For the second time however, a change has been made to the Telstra Premiership Logo, to coincide with the tel-co's own new logo. The logo is now much more similar to the original NRL logo in style.

Spirit producers Bundaberg Rum are sponsoring Monday night football - to be known as Bundaberg Monday Night Football. Electronics wholesaler Harvey Norman is expected to continue their support of the State of Origin Series, as is AAMI and their association with City vs Country Origin.
