NRL 2020 Draw

[WT2K]

Souths at LO 😳

Interesting that our Bankwest home games are all on prime time Friday night (exc. the Easter Monday game). It seems like WT allocated the home games to each stadium based on time slot rather than opponent. That’s the only reason I can see for scheduling the Rabbitohs (one of the most well supported teams) at Leichhardt

 

[gallagher]

12 games on free to air
1 Thursday night
3 Friday night
8 Sunday

I think 7 Sunday and 1 monday Steve. We got moe Sunday games than anyone.
On a side note the dogs are playing home games at ANZ, Bankwest,Belmore,Suncorp and Perth. They're as nuts as we are.

Final round at LO again :face_palm:

@gallagher I count 8 on Sunday at 4pm. The Easter Monday game is not usually on free to air

WESTSTIGERS 2020 🐯


We should be 6-1 heading into Magic Round. No excuses.

Sorry mate, got my wires crossed. Was thinking home games.

WESTSTIGERS 2020 ?

Brave prediction at this time of year when we don't know the makeup of the teams we will be facing and or who will be in our own team

Eels at Bankwest twice.

Are we just plain stupid or money hungry sell outs.

What about winning.

9th sucks Wests Tigers. Think about winning.

I'm amazed people still think we'd do anything else

@The_Patriot The only problem I see Is that supporters should grow a set ..honestly playing at the most impressive footy stadium in the country , what’s the problem playing Parra at BankWest .. maybe the supporter base should get off there backsides and support there team and show Parra and there supporter base what our club is made of or maybe play at the spiritual ground where the team struggles to beat anyone . No use going to ANZ closing soon what about 2021 grow up and meet the challenge the supporter base wants the team to so why not the supporter base instead of running away !

Nothing sweeter than an away win and singing your song so the opp can hear it... Good teams win anywhere we need to develop a winning positive mentality... Half our games are away games one mores a wuss' way out

Looks good going by this year's form... Hopefully our x2 opponents next year continue this year's form

It’s lovely to see Toddlers doing the the usual looking after the Broncos and their monopoly on the game with 18 free to air games, and good on him for helping out the Bronc’s and their sponsors because they really struggle in that department🙄 and the surprise of all surprises the Storm getting 14 free to air games Wow! I didn’t see that one coming.

Well, you need money to win. The annual profits we are now making don't happen by accident.

I understand that a game here or there can make a difference, but the reality is also that if you limp into the finals by a game or two, you probably aren't going to last long. We should be able to beat Parra at Bankwest at any time, if we are serious about being a finals-bound side.

Some facts and figures about playing Eels - average crowd of 21,484 for all 39 matches since 2000, which is already good. But it goes up to 35,001 for the past 6 Easter Monday clashes we've had. Our average home attendance (all opponents) during this same period 2014-2019 is 14,485. So we more than double our average home crowd when playing Eels on Easter Monday.

We also make a packet taking on the Magic Round game.

Add in Scully Park for the country football effort and that's just 3 games sacrificed in a season of 24 matches.

If your team is good enough, it shouldn't matter that the odd game is played away. Puts you in good stead for finals football when we won't have games at Leichhardt or Campbelltown anyway.

I've said this before, if Tigers can average 30K for Friday night home games and draw the same sponsorship, Channel 9 and NRL would be just as happy to give Tigers those games.

So your conspiracy theory re NRL and Broncos actually extends to Channel 9, who get to select matches every week.

In fact I believe we have 11/24 matches televised on FTA in 2020, which is a lot.

 

[happy_tiger]

not a bad draw to be fair though

Playing the Roosters and Storm only once, with 4 very winnable games to start the year. Can't ask for much more imo.

Yeah but look at all the players we will lose to SOO duties

Playing Parramatta as our home game at Bankwest is Stupid..I don't care what anyone says

Other than that it's a good draw no excuses...

To me it is obvious that the game should have been switched with the donkeys game at ctown.It would have increased our chances in both games

 

[Fraze23]

As a kid whenever the draw came out the first thing I'd look for is who we played around origin time as it usually meant we'd be playing a game we could win. Does anyone have any idea who we've got before origin? I couldn't find it on the full draw.
