I'm sure when they say Manly v Bulldogs they mean Bulldogs v Manly. And in assuming that.... FINALLY an opening home game!!!

 

[TheDalek079]

I've also heard unconfirmed reports that the Bulldogs will play at least one or two matches at Gosford.

Aren't they playing 12 matches at Gosford as part of their relocation?

Don't the Grand Finalists normally get to choose their round 1 clash?

they used to. A few years back Easts chose to play Souffs, and surprise suprise the bunnies complained about it (something about the match being at the SFS)

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

All I ask is that the Warriors play a game at Suncorp for the first time in three years.

a very odd first round up matchup i think. 2nd vs last??

and for the record you guys had a home game to start off the 05 season so it wasn't very long ago!

 

[Timmah]

All I ask is our Good Friday game v Souths is OUR home game :x

Come R1 2009, it'll have been four years. That is a long time

[HDWicked]

Again the NRL has not looked after Roosters fans in Brisbane! 3rd year running not one game in either Gold Coast or Brisbane! Cmon NRL there are other supporters in Brisbane....we DONT all go for Brisbane or Titans!....

 

[sting]

ffs another year, and saints still don't get a home game in round 1.

melbourne in melbourne should be a cracker though

 

[Timmah]

FINALLY we get home billing for the Good Friday clash.

 

[The Tank]

I f**king hate Penrith v Cronulla in Round 1. I'm a Panthers supporter and even I don't care about that matchup.

 

[Red Bear]

city country the same night as the test match, what the f**k?

 

[Eels Dude]

That's the second time in 3 years we've played the Warriors away in the 1st round of the season. And this year we played them away in round 2. Pisses me off.

 

[thommo4pm]

ffs another year, and saints still don't get a home game in round 1.

melbourne in melbourne should be a cracker though

This will be 6 seasons straight now where Saints have not had the first game at home. Unbelievable. :x

And once again we play the Raiders only once and it's at their home ground. Why can't they play us at our home ground when we only play them once a year?

 

[sting]

This will be 6 seasons straight now where Saints have not had the first game at home. Unbelievable. :x

i reckon:x

still... can't wait for round 3 home game against the scum!

welcome back to kogarah!!!

 

[Red Bear]

and what is glory bound round?

 

[sting]

no idea there's 5 of them... obviously something to do with making a charge towards the finals.. but yeh i wonder what its all about

 

[c_eagle]

Manly's run home is RIDICULOUS! We play Souths in round 22 (we always lose to Souths during this part of the year) and then play teams 4, 1 and then 3 before finishing with the Titans at home.
