Correct - looks like the north-western corner. Nine would’ve shipped in the table and props, among other things.

Looks really pokey and rushed together by the size of it, are those WWOS engraved wall panels separate to the main wall in the Suncorp studio? They seem to be.

I believe so, much like how they would also do it at (for example) Accor Stadium in Sydney, and likewise with Seven for their AFL telecasts.

Is it just me, or is the NRL promos & ads this year not matching the actual on air package?
Refresh coming (?)

Going to be bold here, predicting a refresh come Origin 1 and it’s in the works currently.
I’ll come back to this in a few months saying it either aged well or poorly.

Challenging conditions even for commentators at a very windy Brookvale with mention of loose roof tiles.

NRL on Nine will host a Multicultural Round celebration like no other this week when the biggest rugby league rivalries on the field are mixed with the greatest cultures in the world, and it’s all live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission Peter V’landys kicks the round off when he shares an insight into his own journey as a Greek migrant and his life growing up in Australia, before the Raiders host the Sharks on Thursday Night Footy from 7.30pm AEDT.
In the pregame coverage from GIO Stadium in Canberra, Raiders captain Joseph Tapine and Sharks enforcer Addin Fonua-Blake discuss their culture and what it means to them. Raiders coach Ricky Stuart gives his take on how the green machine get the win at home and the clubs highest point scorer in history, Jarrod Croker, also joins the show live.
The longest running and most fierce rugby league rivalry takes over Friday Night Footy when Latrell Mitchell returns for Rabbitohs v Roosters. Mitchell’s fellow Indigenous All Star teammate Cody Walker chats to the panel live, while the man who has stepped foot in both camps, Roosters forward and NSW State of Origin star, Angus Crichton, gives his insight into the rivalry.
Two of the biggest names in the game will meet when The Eighth Immortal Andrew Johns interviews supercoach Wayne Bennett before kick-off. Nine’s Sam Thaiday visits the home of 2024 NRLW Dally M Medal winner Olivia Kernick for a light-hearted edition of the classic Their House segment.
A new chapter in one of the NRL’s greatest modern day rivalries will be written on Sunday Arvo Footy, when the Manly Sea Eagles host the Melbourne Storm in the Battle of Brookvale at 4 Pines Park. Manly and Queensland captain Daly Cherry-Evans will be out to rally his side behind the 14th man that is their patriotic home crowd at the suburban venue. They’ll need to be at their best to overcome last season’s grand finalists who have no shortage of x-factor that can break the game open with Harry Grant, Cameron Munster and Ryan Papenhuyzen all locked and loaded.
The game is available on Channel 9 in Melbourne alongside every Storm game in 2025 on the 9Network.
In commentary exclusively for Nine’s Wide World of Sports is rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns and fellow premiership winners Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Phil Gould, Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler, Paul Gallen, Darren Lockyer, Millie Elliott and Sam Thaiday. Hosted by James Bracey and Danika Mason, plus women’s internationals Ruan Sims and Allana Ferguson, sideline reporters Marlee Silva and Emma Lawrence. Calling the live action is Mat Thompson, Peter Psaltis and Brenton Speed.

Manly to hold crisis talks with Channel 9 over Daly Cherry-Evans’ on-air bombshell
Manly and Channel 9 will meet after their relationship evaporated during Daly Cherry-Evans’ on-air revelation he would leave the club at season’s end. Plus, Staggs’ multicultural round centrepiece.
Cherry-Evans then made an exclusive appearance on the network’s 100% Footy program last Monday week, wearing casual clothing with no Sea Eagles branding, despite being Manly’s captain and key ambassador.

It was always inevitable that the Battle of Brookvale would get a mention whenever the Sea Eagles and Storm face off at Brookvale Oval.
Footage from that 2011 fight was shown on Freddy and the Eighth on Wednesday night, and also on 100% Footy on Monday 24/3 when Daly Cherry-Evans (the only player still playing in the NRL today from either side) appeared on the show to discuss his departure from Manly.

Nathan Cleary’s Panthers looking to claw back their winning ways against the Dolphins, a heavyweight bout between the Broncos and Roosters plus the Knights and Wests Tigers on Sunday make up a whopping weekend of footy, live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Australian Kangaroos and New South Wales Blues fullback Dylan Edwards joins NRL on Nine before he makes his return from injury, when the Panthers aim to avoid a five-peat of losses on Thursday Night Footy, against the Dolphins from 7.30pm AEST at Suncorp Stadium.
Nathan Cleary’s former understudy at Penrith, now Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa, shares his journey in a special feature story before he takes on his junior club, and the Eighth Immortal Andrew Johns selects his top five prop forwards of the modern era.
A rivalry between two of the NRL’s heavyweight clubs will head up Friday Night Footy when the Broncos host the Roosters. The best of the Broncos will chat live to NRL on Nine with flashy fullback Reece Walsh, coach Michael Maguire and a special edition of footy show segment Their House, when club legend Sam Thaiday visits the home of returning recruit Ben Hunt.
We dive into what makes Broncos machine turned man Payne Haas tick, and the last Broncos premiership captain Darren Lockyer, reflects on the good times from their 2000 Grand Final victory against the Roosters.
From the chook pen Roosters captain James Tedesco will preview their chances and injured halfback Sam Walker gives his thoughts on their new halves pairing, which features local junior Hugo Savala.
The Newcastle Knights will lean on their patriotic home support against the resurgent Wests Tigers on Sunday Arvo Footy. In coverage from 3.00pm proud Cessnock Goannas local junior Fletcher Sharpe shares his journey to the Knights, we kick it with the kids with a new Sunday Footy Sidekick joining the broadcast, and we chat to the Thompson family before brothers Leo and Tyrone Thompson play NRL together for the first time for the Knights.
We’ll enter the Wests Tigers jungle with a look back at their 2005 premiership victory, chatting to coach Benji Marshall and star recruit Jarome Luai before the panel weigh in on how much their prodigious halfback Lachlan Galvin is worth at this early stage of his career.
