2026 NRL Draw

Could have easily just tweaked it if the old computer spat that out , but it didn’t , Broncos V Penrith was selected , so they could have easy just swapped us out with say cowboys give them the bye and us V Knights first round , NRL is poorly run , I like PV and he gets shit done but he has some monkeys working under him
 
Yeah pretty average...again, twice in three year's.

Id hope we play our first game against one of the Vegas teams at home, im thinking that opposition might be still a bit unsettled.

Hopefully this guarantees us a spot at Magic Round even though we are always a home team, weve done fairly well in that
 
Round 1 bye aye .., Well You would expect Benji to put a full strength side together in the last trial game ..

Of course we will play Magic round … we give up a home game EVERY year ..
 
AI learns off past experiences and what’s fed into it, I reckon we’ll see similar bye schedule as last year or the theory about Richo penalised for critiquing Vegas is right

You sound like an AI expert …when are they taking over ?

They don’t just come up with 1 draw … AI produces multiple options and they pick the one they like most ..
 
Why does the NRL care?

Its not like the other home teams in magic round have any other option unless they do what we do

Is that the case ? Manly told them last year they didn’t want to give up another home game for magic round ( with the further disadvantage of having to play the Broncos every year ) so they got the bye instead … as a fan …unless you are attending the weekend I don’t know why it matters playing Magic Round or not, and it’s good timing to get your first bye 8 weeks in
 
It matters to members

And.considering weve done pretty good in the past this weekend id say it matters to us...we usually win plus theres the financial.side.of things
 
We know what happened when we were given the first bye in 2024.

This AI direction is lazy, and I'm shocked about the NRL's thought process.

I would prefer them only give up the home game say every second year …isn’t it better for the members to play the game at their own home ground ? Also… does being the “home “ or the “away” team have any influence on them winning the game in Brisbane or not?
