On paper, and based on 2016 form, we should win the first four matches.

5 of our last 7 games at home....

Our home games are in two main clumps, near the start and end of the season. The Bathurst game (Raiders) comes in the middle of a period when we don't play at Penrith for 8 weeks. The club should try to get this game changed. The Titans in R20 or the Cows in R23 might be a better choice for Bathurst.

One game at home in 12 weeks is absolutely ridiculous (from 16/4 to 08/7)! And it is Saturday afternoon to make it worse!

 

[Devilous]

No Parramatta at home next season? I can't remember if that's ever happened before! One of our highest drawing games each year gone...

 

[roofromoz]

It's 11 matches at Penrith next year, with no home match in Christchurch. Thought it was a multi year deal like Bathurst. I wonder what happened...

[Kilkenny]

Not thrilled at all with our draw.

 

[The yak]

I thought when round 1 was leaked a few weeks ago we were playing Newcastle in round 1 at home on a Sunday night.

What changed?

This is going to make my work/travel plans very difficult!

Amazing how the Bulldogs and the Eels got the easiest draws! Todd got an easy draw for the Bulldogs and then tried to show that the NRL didn't play favourites by giving the NRL owned Knights a horror draw! The Eels got an easy draw, probably as compensation for last years debacle. And we get one home game in a 12 week period in the middle of the season!
Makes you wonder!

We had a pretty big stretch in the middle of this season away from Penrith too. Maybe it has been requested?

We also always have our two byes done with early. I dont know how much of a role it plays but given our injury history it would be nice to see a later break before the final run home.

The reason for our injuries has been sacked

Round 25 v Dragons

Let's see what f that twig Mansour has the guts to face the man who dropped him like a little bitch. Embarrassing he chucked a 'Lebron' to get off the training paddock.

LOL OK Staff member, I'll take the bait.

You'll have more on your plate than Sauce. Mitch Rein and Mez will be busy ripping you a new one.

By then Saints will be out of finals contention & Dugan will most likely be injured.
I fail to see the interest.

You forgot to add that they will most likely have Nathan's Dad as their coach!

If anyone saw the comrade between Mansour and Dugan from the video where both players were sat with each other and having a laugh about Mansour's injury situation,you quickly come to the realisation that God-King is more of a harmless wind-up merchant than a bitter and twisted troll.
