2014 NRL Draw

[gronkathon]

As much as I have reservations about ANZ Stadium as a viewing and atmosphere stadium the benefits with this draw for members are flat out amazing.

Access to the Dogs, Souths, Dragons & Parra ANZ away games included in the season ticket. That works out to be 8 games for $75 with the Claws package plus a game at either CSS or LO included to boot

Im pretty sure theyre all live.

As per usual 9 gets the Roosters/Dragons match and Fox Sports gets the Melbourne/Warriors match.

As for the Broncos game I would assume 9 would also broadcast that one.

But it appears there's also 3 Friday games on the 18th April.

How does that work out???

Good Friday

The only bit I don't like is our fixtures around origin 1. We'll play the Dragons without our origin players which is unfair because they'll hardly be affected.

merrit will be right for you guys ..don't worry.

1 Home game in the first 5 rounds. Similar to last year.

1 Home game in the first 5 rounds. Similar to last year.

How the hell did the Raiders get 3 FTA games? Its outrageous. That's more than the last 10 years combined.

And here was me thinking the Milford would get as much FTA exposure playing for Mounties as he would have for the Raiders. My mistake.

Good Friday

Yes I know but when I looked at it first they had two games on at the same time, I assumed one would be live in NSW and other would live into Qld, however theyre both QLD games, what that mean one is live and the other is delayed in both states?

Surely they wouldve put a Thursday night game on that weekend.

 

[tumbidragon]

Can't understand why they haven't made Saints play both Parra and Dogs twice? Surely they are amongst some of the biggest crowd drawers in Sydney. Is the NRL actually serious about getting larger crowds to games...

 

[Brutus]

Rabbitohs home game v Manly at SCG.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chance for 30k plus if form is good.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Knights play the Dragons once and its in the final round :crazy:

How does that even happen ffs?

 

[BranVan3000]

Zero Monday games for Roosters, how did they swing that?

 

[papabear]

Rabbitohs home game v Manly at SCG.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chance for 30k plus if form is good.

will 29500 souths fans will show up?

 

[The Eagle]

will 29500 souths fans will show up?

Who do you even go for? To embarrassed to show your color or are they just dead?

I thought the NRL was learning, this draw is pretty disgusting considering some of the things they could have done and changed in 2014...

Raiders not playing at Parra
Dragons home game against Sharks at Wollongong not Kogarah
Brisbane with a 7 day turn around for the first 10 weeks....
3 times Parra play the same side within a 5-6 week turn around.

 

[saint pebba]

will 29500 souths fans will show up?

lol :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[Card Shark]

So out of the 114 FTA games in the first 20 rounds:
Broncs - 13
Tigers - 12.

Did Benji re-sign & is Lockyer making a comeback?

Ch9 deserve shit ratings. I can semi understand the broncos getting those games but the Tigers?

Are they for f**king real!??

I think the first on your list should be sheeted home to the home clubs and not the NRL. It was Parra's decision to take that game to the NT, and the Dragons as to it going to Wollongong instead of Kogarah.

Your other two points are fair, but as to point 3, Channel 9 has to take some portion of the blame too.

[pennywisealfie]

WTF??? We have to play 2 Monday games this year? Ridiculous. Let the lesser teams play Monday.

 

[Tommy Smith]

A Perth game two days after Origin 1 is also disgusting.

That would be your own fault.
