This Saturday afternoon at 5.30pm, the Brisbane Broncos will take to their home track and do battle with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
In days gone by, it would have lit up television ratings, ignited radio interest and in a more digital age been a stimulus for clicks like few other NRL match-ups.
Instead, the two clubs will battle in what truly is nothing more than a meaningless contest, where one will nab two points against a team equally likely to own the 2021 wooden spoon.
The Broncos have begun the season with two straight losses. The first a bizarre and embarrassing second half capitulation to the Eels in Round 1, the other an equally unimpressive loss to little brother Gold Coast.
Similarly, the Bulldogs have begun the season with nothing more than a whimper; toweled up by the Knights in Round 1 and smacked from pillar to post by the Panthers a week later.
Frankly, it will be tough to predict a winner and only the decent first half performance of the Broncos against the Eels will give them a slight advantage with the bookies heading into what looks an underwhelming contest.

It is hard to believe it has come to this for two clubs with little, but successful runs in their resumes. However, in the cut throat world of competitive sport and off the back of some poor decision making, luck and intuition, the majority of NRL teams will feel confident of locking in two competition points when they meet both the Broncos and Dogs in the 2021 season.
2020 saw the Broncos claim the wooden spoon for the first time in their history. Living a charmed life with super coach Wayne Bennett at the helm for 25 of its first 31 years, the club was a perennial contender, six time premiership winner and runner-up in 2015 with Bennett back in charge after a six year hiatus.
