COWBOYS
MANLY
NEWCASTLE
BULLDOGS
DRAGONS

AH WELL

It would’ve got us off to a more favourable start that’s for sure

Pamfers have had a rails run 🤬

Pamfers have had a rails run ?

Who has that draw?
Funny Parra and Panthers draws are similar.

Parra-
Broncos
Storm
Sharks
Us
Dragons

Penrith-
Cowboys
Bulldogs
Storm
Manly
Raiders

All the draws balance out but we’ve certainly had a tougher initiation than other sides pushing to make a Mark this year.

Dragons have probably had the lightest start.
Sharks
Cowboys
Manly
Knights
 
To be honest i would rather have the draw hard early as we have had this year, if you have it too easy early on you get a false expectation of your ability and prospects(Dragons)

Yes and no
Dragons ain’t that good but they’ve been given a huge confidence boost with there draw

Get pumped at the start with a tough draw and you’re looking at us
 
our run home is good enough to get us into the 8. whether or not we can get it done is another matter altogether.

I’m glad it’s done . We don’t play the roosters again , or the Raiders I think ? I think we have Souths twice , and the storm once as well . The panthers once as well .
So a big chunk of our poo the bed games have already happened . I’m confident we will be 4 and 4 come round 9 .

AH WELL

Based on recent history, we would have lost 3 of those games
 
I’d rather have a tough draw than a soft draw like the Dragons, who aren’t much better than the above mentioned sides

Only if it was.. too good to be true ?

WE would still manage to lose half those games.
 
Remaining games that are unfavourable:
- Round 6 - Rabbitohs
- Round 13 - Panthers (origin affected)
- Round 14 - Eels (backing up from origin on Sunday)
- Round 15 - Storm
- Round 16 - Rabbitohs
- Round 24 - Panthers

Our favourable match-ups:
- Round 5 - Cowboys
- Round 7 - Sea Eagles
- Round 8 - Dragons
- Round 12 - Dragons
- Round 17 - Bye (we should win this, but don't lock it in yet)
- Round 18 - Broncos (backing up from origin on Sunday)
- Round 19 - Sea Eagles
- Round 21 - Bulldogs
- Round 22 - Cowboys
- Round 25 - Bulldogs

And games that could go either way:
- Round 9 - Titans
- Round 10 - Knights
- Round 11 - Warriors
- Round 20 - Warriors
- Round 23 - Sharks

We have a good draw. Rounds 1-4 were hard. Rounds 13-16 will be hard again. We have good runs outside of those 8 games. We get to play the Sea Eagles, Cowboys, Bulldogs and Dragons twice.

Based on what?

We actually have a decent record against these lower sides of late. 6 wins of the last 7 matches against Cowboys, 6/8 wins against Manly, 6/9 against Newcastle, 4/7 against Bulldogs (including last 2), 4 of 7 against Dragons (but winning 3 of last 4).
 
When I looked at the draw I was happy with it.
Get the hard stuff out of the way, prime us for the rest of the season. Play the next few months hard & fast and head to the back end of the season in form.

We have actually shown improvements the last 2 weeks in alot of areas & maybe the season won’t be all doom and gloom this year

If we could jag 7 wins out of the 8 against those lowly teams I think we’re Smokey’s. But these are also banana peels for us and those teams will improve as the season goes on.
 
I'm hoping the tough start will have a positive effect, it's been a chance to put new combinations and partnerships under duress, hopefully accelerating getting the kinks ironed out

Make a call. How many pts will we finish with
