NRL Results come in

The first round of NRL Results is now in, from Round 1, 2008 of the new Rugby League season. Crowd attendances and figures were also healthy as the public came out in droves to watch and cheer on their NRL teams.

While so usual big name sides had wins, other footy sides such as the Newcastle Knights, the Cronulla Sharks and the Gold Coast Titans had nice upset victories and the major upset was the Sydney Roosters accounting for the South Sydney side that was such a strong force in 2007.

Injuries have hit clubs hard already after only 1 round, with several players including Benji Marshall, Sonny Bill Williams and Steve Price shot down in the first match of the year - depth proving to be oh so important in Rugby League these days.
