Hopefully madness irons out Taupau, I don't care if it's illegal

Lovely. You do realise it takes two parties to come to terms to end a contract?

Leichhardt games should always be Sunday arvo.

We struggle to get fans there on a Friday and Saturday night. Good luck getting fans there on a Monday, especially Manly ones.

so tigers play manly,sharks,broncos,roorters,dragons and cowboys once only through the season. Could be a bonus only playing last seasons g/f teams and the roorters once.
the draw could have been worse, not considering the usual 6 of 8 games against 'out of sydney teams' to be played at LO and CSS.

Not sure if I'm a fan of the two away , two home games they seem to be pushing

From Rd 8 on we seem to have 2 home games followed by 2 away games

Don't know if I like it

Prefer one home one away

Inferring nothing tin foil but it is interesting seeing which games have been allocated to our 3 home grounds…

Another plus for membership to ANZ is the 3 away games at the ground...Souff's Dogs and Parra will get reciprocal rights effectively getting 7 games for the price of 4 and possibly 8 if the Dragons game there gets the same as it did last year...

 

[happy_tiger]

Cambo didn't fair well

If you ranked those games 1-12 , the Sharks game would be the only one that is in the Top 8

Looks like we've dodged some bullets here.

We have from what I can see -

Roosters once,
Broncos once,
Cowboys once,
Sea Eagles once,
Storm Twice, however our record against them isn't bad.

Teams we generally beat or SHOULD beat -

Knights Twice,
Warriors Twice, and once to start the year where they will be a new squad.
Eels Twice,
Titans Twice,
Raiders Twice, (yes, I know we lost once to them last year)
Panthers Twice, (I know they touched us up last year)

We have Broncos, Roosters, Rabbitohs, Storm all during the Origin Period.

and our last 4 games are Panthers, Titans, Warriors, Raiders - Historically teams we can beat.

Look, every game is a tough game, I get it - however in terms of the draw, that's got to be one of the softest draws we've had in years.

 

[Eddie]

At first glance it looks a really good draw for us. On Second glance it looks like we have the softest draw in the competition. Couldn't really have asked for much better given the teams we only play once and the the teams we play during the origin period.

First 8 games all look winnable given we have the tough ones at home.

Whether we are good enough to take advantage of it is another story i suppose.
