Both easts games on week nights. They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

Posted a picture of the draw in case I missed anything and this one has the times on it

Theres a lot of friday night games over all and a lot of away games in the first 10 rounds but I don't mind that tbh.

I think NRL.com ranked us to have the toughest draw but that is mainly because of last years poor results. Our side is so much better this year.

Yes, we are playing the Roosters on a week night twice but they will still attract a big crowd because of the rivalry.

We play the Storm in Perth which is awesome (finally have a 'home' game against them) but it's a bit dumb how we play the Cowboys in Cairns again. It's a shame we're not playing the Warriors in NZ, means I won't be able to get to one of our games oh well.

Over all it's a tough draw but imo it is a good one. With the side we have this year we're gonna give it a real shake! Bring on 2017!!!! Glory, Glory!!!!!!!

What do you guys think?

It's f**ked is what it is.

9 of the games are in my diamond membership pass of which 7 are Friday games, 1 Thursday game and 1 Sunday game only. No Saturday games.

It's hopeless.

I work on Friday nights and will take leave for 2-3 matches. But it's just hard.

Only 1 Thursday game. Thursday's are my day off so I was hoping for more Thursday games.

No Saturday games is terrible.

2 of our Sunday's are interstate of course which is stupid.

How are we meant to make 6pm at Allianz on a Friday. No chance. Might get 7k if you're lucky.

Disappointing.

From rounds 21-26 there will be 5 games I can get too. But when it comes out in about round 14 I hope it's not all Friday games.

The draw is getting worse for us every year.

 

[Rabbits20]

Only play Newcastle and Saints once.

Apparently on Sportsbet we have the toughest draw out of anyone.

Bloody typical.

 

[Rabbits20]

At least we only play Cronulla once and we don't have to travel to NZ.

 

[Rabbits20]

We have 4, 5 day turn arounds.

2 of which are after travelling interstate. Wtf.

After Perth we have 5 days and after Cairns we have 5 days.

Hopeless NRL.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Absolutely defies belief.

 

[callmack1]

The squad we have will handle it.

The draw is not the greatest but I really don't think it's too bad. Bring it on I say.

 

[rabbitohs95]

Our draw is so f**ked. I can't believe the interstate 5 day turnarounds! The rest of the draw is decent but those periods will really test us.

Who knows though, it wouldn't surprise me if half the teams from the 8 this year plummet down.

Too many Friday games is very hard. Especially as I work until 10pm.

Can take leave for 2-3 of them. But it sucks.

Not even 1 Saturday game. Only 1 Sunday day game at ANZ.

It gets worse.

Hopeless NRL.

This is the worst part of the draw. Why can't the NRL structure the draw so that EVERY team has one five day turn around and the rest are dished out randomly to other teams. No way is it fair that he have 4 and other teams have none what so ever.

 

[callmack1]

At least we only play Cronulla once and we don't have to travel to NZ.

I wanted a game in NZ, it's the only chance I get to actually see them play a game in person apart from the nines.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Bloody typical.

We had our turn, won a comp.

 

[themacemaceman]

Hopeless NRL.

Cowboys and Cronulla have 0 5day turnarounds and Melbourne, Bulldogs,Penrith ,Canberra and Brisbane all have only 1 each.
Talk about the rough end of the pineapple!
4 out of 19 5 day turnarounds are ours.... over 20%.

Now that's truth telling.


I'm surprised no one else has picked this up yet, but in our round 18 match against Roosters we will be minus our origin stars.

Why the bloody hell would they have us playing our arch rivals in a split origin build up round.

I'm stumped!!!!!!!!!



Also here is some more truth telling as to why we have a shit draw, we have no byes in week before origin. We will be playing without GI for 3 games.

We should at least get 1 bye in origin period.

I could put money on the fact some teams will get 2 byes in the origin period. I don't even need to look to tell you that. What a complete and utter farce.


Yes we have the toughest draw for the obvious reasons stated buts let rise above this adversity like we know we can.


Geez I'm on a role tonight!!!!!!!

Where is alien!!!!!! Fire up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely you're kidding????????

Sorry but I'm struggling to comprehend this absolute bullshit!!!!!!!!!

 

[Exsilium]

Let's be honest, every year there's a winner and a loser in the draw stakes. It's your turn this year.

I can see it being tough as fans who want to get to games but it's give and take.

I stopped reading into the draw years ago, it never makes sense.

We also had a very tough draw last season.

But this draw is the worst I've seen in ages.
