For starters every team should play each other once before somebody plays another team a 2nd time, teams that clash during the Origin period should play each other twice so there is no unfair advantage.
Surely in 2023 the above shouldn’t be that hard to achieve.
While I believe the competition should be suspended during the Origin period, the NRL will never do this because of the $$$ that would be lost.
So you don’t think it’s unfair that a team may play the Panthers, Broncos, Rabbitohs, Roosters, Storm twice, and Tigers, Dragons, Titans, Bulldogs once while another team may have it the other way around ?, yeah okay lol.
This seems like excuses, it doesn’t matter if you are playing the storm 3 times a season ffs, you still got to beat them, panthers haven't used a hard or soft draw as an excuse, basically every season has been a soft draw since the 2021 GF, there's no one above us to fear, but the rest of the comp all step up to try to take us down, imagine if a team like parra for example did that for every game they played throughout the season

But surely the NRL could take the time to make things a bit more even, look at the run both of the Knights and the Sharks have again in 2024, when people would say the Sharks buckle against Top 8 opposition they were right.
Its not an excuse, how much money does the NRL generate and they can’t even get the best out of their draw, not very professional.

Here's the contact number for the people who make the draw up. Give them a call. They are in Vancouver.

Aka who gives a f**k, do better as a club, and beat the opposition in front of you, strength of schedule is a myth, every season has a few teams who come out if the blocks better than others, and most will have injures affect their run, there are no easy wins in the NRL,

Mate seems like your the one having the sook merkin, you're blind to the fact that panthers are beating everyone on skill and effort, not some one off ref blunders, its refreshing to see the teams at the top now are the ones that aren't relying on the wrestle and slowing the ruck, its a momentum game now, and if you haven't figured that out yet you need to follow another club who has figured it out or pick up another sport to follow, coz its not going back...

This just shows how delusional you are. Penrith wrestle and slow down the ruck as much as Melbourne at their worst. How the f**k do you think they get and keep the momentum.

yeah i had a chuckle that that... Panthers deserve their premierships but they wrestle and slow down the ruck as bad as anyone (they are very good at turning the ball runner around while he's tackled, usually by pulling his shirt so his head is pointing towards his own goal line, instead of towards the opposition goal line.

The only possible explanation for him thinking the refs are good and Penrith don't wrestle is that he's actually blind.
