So What are our thoughts on the draw???

[super_coach]

I think it’s the best draw we have had in some time. Turn around are good and most of our time slots are good.
Only play the Storm and the Chooks once is a bonus. If there is such a thing we have a good start playing non top eight teams for the first few weeks.

Have not researched how we are placed around SOO games. Iam disappointed that we sacrificed our home game again for the magic weekend in Brisbane, but I guess there is a monetary reason behind it.

anyway no excuses guys with draw...get the job done

First half looks great with lots of day games, but then for some reason we play all the local Bankwest derbies in a row during the Origin period again Must be the NRL trying to limit the sub 10k crowds as much as possible. It's disappointing because these would all draw 20k+ if played at a more favourable time of year. We then go back to a heap of day games to finish the year which is nice.

Good to only play the Storm and Roosters once, and avoid road trips to Brisbane and Brookvale.

At first glance it looks pretty favourable. Seen a few break downs on twitter saying:

* only play 1 2019 Top 8 side in first 7 weeks
* Storm without their Origin players (Munster, JAC, Finnucane, Kaufusi at the minimum)
* as SC mentioned Storm and Roosters once
* 12 games v Top 8 sides/12 against bottom 8
* 5 day games at Traditional grounds
* Souths at Leichhardt on a Sunday will be insane
* Manly taking their home game against us to Gosford. Sharks play us at Kogarah
* Souths 3 days after Origin 3

So yeah overall I'm pretty happy with it, up to us now to make the most of it

It looks good. We now have to win more than our fair share.

and that will depend who we sign over the next month or so. Bit of gossip going around that their is a big signing to be announced end of the week.No names but all the usuals are being thrown around,Lomax,Moylan etc but two new names, Frizzel and Chrighton.
Of course they would be in the 100 to 1 market...but you never know

 

[The unknown]

It's like the NRL / Draw scheduler said hurry up and make the 8 already you incompetent f**ks

I like it.

First point - Todd said he's proud of the draw so as long as he's happy........

Interesting that Crighton is now mentioned, would rather more game time and not start on the bench perhaps. Radley certainly has gone past him.
Crichton & Frizell would be happy to be pushed by Madge but who is the better option? Can Crichton pass a ball coz Frizell can't. I'd take the Dragon pair though.

Was looking forward to the trip to Cows new stadium, bummer. No game against Broncos in Brisbane either. Looks like just the Sharks game for Magic Round and a GC game for me. And a trip to Sydney see us in the GF at the SCG of course.

Yep, atm we are equal leaders of the 2020 comp

Nice run home with Titans, Bulldogs, Cowboys.

I wonder which of these will be the game we lose as heavy favourites to seal 9th position.

 

[Vozzy]

In terms of teams we play it is pretty fair. There are a string of games from the time we play parramatta where we don't really have a proper home game. Playing parra at bankwest becomes an away game then our next game is the the sharks in Brisbane then I think we play canberra at scully park. I think it's a run of like 8 games where it is pretty much away games really. I rather they play say parra at leichardt or campbelltown and the Knights at bankwest

 

[Tcoggs]

Better draw than previous years.......BUT we will still manage to lose the unloseable games now and again and run 9th...

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

When we're 12th at the start of round 21 having not had a game at Campbelltown since March, I expect Campbo to be packed to the rafters.... lol

Dumb f**ks using OUR home ground round to play at Wankfest Stadium against Parta again in 2020 is just plain pathetic.. pure money grab and throwing 2 competition points away. Obviously the club learnt zero from this year... oh well good to see we are still being run by halfwits.

Seriously!!! How can this club be so friggin stupid.

 

[The unknown]

Meh, we get belted at a sold out Leichhardt anyway. Honestly can't remember the last time a "home" advantage has actually been advantageous to us

Occasionally in the early rounds we jag a win there. Never when there is any pressure on.

 

[Tiger05]

We just have to perform better but some better cattle would help. Mind you we had the Turd when he was playing well and we did nothing.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Probably the easiest draw we've had in 10 years. Unfortunately it coincides with the weakest team we've had in 10 years. Granted the team will be improved but my prediction again is 9th

Depends who we sign, but yeah it's looking pretty grim

 

[The Charlatan]

Can whinge about plenty of things for 2020, but this draw isn't one of them. Certainly got kissed on there arse there.
