The Sea Eagles host the New Zealand Warriors in round 13 of the 2022 NRL season.

Robert "Rocky" Laurie, the first recipient of the Dally M Medal, has died aged 66.

 

The former Eastern Suburbs and South Sydney five-eighth played 122 first-grade games between 1976 and 1982, scoring 28 career tries.

 

He was awarded the Dally M Medal in 1980 following a remarkable campaign with the Rabbitohs in his final year at the club. To this day he remains the only South Sydney player to have ever won the coveted award.
