2016 season - draw release

[BuffaloRules]

What are we going to do on Tuesday and Wednesday nights next season with no NRL on?

Bring back the Amco Cup maybe?

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

But amateurish how the QLD cup releases their draw before the NRL does

Obviously they dont have the same number of powerful interests making conflicting demands...

 

[Timmah]

It's worth noting only the QLD Cup draw is out. None of the fixturing is actually set (i.e. time or day). When the NRL Draw is out this weekend whenever that might be, it will have fixturing for the entire opening 20 rounds.

Anyway, more leaks tonight from the Tele including Manly v Eels @ Brookvale in R7, Tigers v Manly MNF R2, Knights/Eels R12 at Hunter Stadium and Roosters v Warriors in R5 Sunday 2pm (not sure on the venue, probably Mt Smart)

Don't understand this, unless it's mel v nq & manly v bri.

The NRL will today announce a double header at suncorp stadium involving broncos cowboys storm and manly as part of 2016 draw

It would have to be yr above scenario ..

Those games would attract 50,000 to Sun.Corp
The GF replay would get the same by itself

Why would you d.iddle yourself out of 50,000 fans :sarcasm:

[muzby]

haven't you fixed your sig-quote yet?

 

[rabbitohs95]

Rabbitohs v Rooters R1 AND 6

Can't believe they thought this would be a good idea :crazy:

 

[beave]

Manly and Melbourne have surrendered home games in May and moved them to Suncorp for that double header against Brisbane and NQ.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

bold strategy cotton

 

[azza29]

Storm v Cowboys at Suncorp makes only slightly more sense than the semi they played at SFS in 2005. Can't understand why either club would give up a home game to play in Brisbane.

Cows & Brissy away back to back early in the year, part of a pretty f**king tough opening couple of months for saints. Will know fairly early if we're contenders or not

 

[Lockyer4President!]

Broncs and Cows play twice but only play the Tits once each it seems?

There are only three QLD teams in the NRL, I just don't understand why they don't all play twice.

 

[Big Salad]

Is that three consecutive Channel 9 games I see for the Raiders in rounds 12-14 :O

Look out for flying pigs today.

 

[beave]

2nd year in a row we dont play on the GC.

You know, for a club that is somewhat struggling and part owned by the NRL, you would think they would schedule one of their better drawing away teams every year.

Without being a negative nancy, but the way shit has gone today with the tv deal, im not surprised at all.

 

[Lambretta]

What a f**king dog shit draw this is

Having games on five days really ballses things up

We lose Bulldogs and Sharks to the graveyard of midweek football - thank you Fox and Channel 9 you absolute f**king twats and the only 5.30pm Saturday game has been taken to the Central Coast which isn't included in my season ticket

With my family commitments on a Sunday I now have to decide if I bother buying a season ticket for 4 games with an option on a possible three others

Wankers

One of them is a big bye round so they likely had no choice for that week
