2014 NRL Draw

[Card Shark]

Also play knights twice SS.

Only 2 Friday games but heaps FTA Sundays, unless they have stuffed up & put the 2pm games as 3pm. We have zero of those - go figure .

 

[ghoti]

Five FTA games is good for our standards...hopefully travelling well enough to pick up another two in the final six rounds.

Fair enough that Nine want to air more games with high rating teams, I think that makes sense for them...but the NRL needed to safe guard their competition and go with a network who will support the WHOLE game. As someone without foxtel, I get jaded with the game halfway through the year having to watch the same favoured six teams run around...especially when it's watching Parra, Wests or St George being f**kin hopeless.

But whatever...I'll just walk up the road and watch the footy from the f**kin TAB instead.

Might I suggest that to enhance the experience when reading through the draw, you have this playing in the background...

Whilst FTA exposure is good for the brand, in terms of a fan watching the games I would prefer every game on Fox ad free, I hate watching CH9 coverage with ads all the time

Shocking run home but overall the draw is too bad, although we miss our annual game v Broncos before a SOO

 

[coolumsharkie]

5 fta games aint bad. Can't be to whingey on the Monday games.. Except for the Souffs game, oh well.

 

[Big LIMA]

I did the results for the Sharks draw based on the most recently played fixture, and I got 16 wins and 8 losses for 36 points (with 2 byes). Pretty good draw from an on-field perspective.

Home to Titans 12-10
Away to Bulldogs 6-26
Home to Dragons 12-25
Away to Knights 21-20
Home to Warriors 28-4
Away to Sea Eagles 18-24
Home to Roosters 32-22
Home to Panthers 38-10
Away to Eels 6-13
Home to Tigers 36-22
Home to Rabbitohs 14-12
BYE
Away to Dragons 22-18
BYE
Home to Sea Eagles 17-14
Away to Broncos 19-18
Away to Roosters 0-40
Home to Knights 14-18
Home to Cowboys 20-18
Away to Panthers 15-14
Home to Eels 32-14
Away to Warriors 18-14
Away to Storm 6-38
Home to Raiders 30-20
Away to Cowboys 4-24
Away to Tigers 30-6

And that includes losses to Parramatta and St. George Illawarra. Add those two wins and its an 18/6 record, which is often the record of minor premiers...

 

[Big LIMA]

Another positive is that we don't leave Sydney until the Round 17? game against the Donkeys. Not much travel involved at all.

Eddie when we are nine i watch it another way, i didnt this year and wont next year watch any games on 9, bar us in the finals, they want to screw us, screw them by not watching it, ratings go down and advertising revenue will follow.

Ratings were down this year, lets hope another year of the same

 

[Card Shark]

Except for the Souffs game, oh well.

Don't mind this timeslot for the Rabbits because we usually win the home game against them on a Monday night. Don't think we play them twice.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

10 games straight on a Friday night, that makes training very easy you know the schedule no adjustments other teams have shortened weeks, this is a joke a complete joke but the NRL dosent care

goodbye liver
Hello rehab

 

[Card Shark]

That is bullshit. Makes it easy to get into a rhythm for footy & good for home life.

They need to mix it up a little bit FFS
