2019 NRL Draw

[Sunshine Coast Tiger]

One year would it be too much to ask for the number of times that teams have a five day turnaround be even?

 

[OzDragon]

So only Dragons & Tiggers have 3 5 day turnarounds while riff and souffs get 0.

Seems fair to me....

Spread of games amongst the teams is very good on first glance. Seems a lot fairer than years past!

 

[Lambretta]

So the knights mix has been leaked to the herald

4 Friday
6 Saturday
2 Sunday

The club requests as many Sunday games as possible every year. Second year in a row of only 2 Sunday games.

That is basically my perfect draw
No Thursday games and 10 out of 12 games on drinking days

 

[LineBall]

It says Origin 2 in Perth is 7:40 pm AEST. So almost a twilight kick off in Perth?

Edit: Of course - being Origin it should read 7:40 pm or whenever Channel 9 says they are ready to go.

Round Nine (Magic Round)
Thursday, May 9
Titans vs. Sharks Suncorp Stadium (NINE/FOX) 7:50pm
Friday, May 10
Tigers vs. Panthers Suncorp Stadium (FOX) 6:00pm
Sea Eagles vs. Broncos Suncorp Stadium (NINE/FOX) 7:55pm
Saturday, May 11
Bulldogs vs. Knights Suncorp Stadium (FOX) 3:00pm
Warriors vs. Dragons Suncorp Stadium (FOX) 5:30pm
Storm vs. Eels Suncorp Stadium (FOX) 7:35pm
Sunday, May 12
Roosters vs. Raiders Suncorp Stadium (FOX) 2:00pm
Rabbitohs vs. Cowboys Suncorp Stadium (NINE/FOX) 4:05pm

Perfect opportunity to magic away Thursday Night Football for a week and they go and f**k it up

Move the Thursday game to the Sunday and sell out all three days
Having half arsed crowds on Thursday and Sunday seems a bit daft to me

 

[Hank_Scorpio]

So only Dragons & Tiggers have 3 5 day turnarounds while riff and souffs get 0.

Seems fair to me....

Surely this is something the Players association can have an influence on?

How the NRL spent 5 months working on the draw, and no-one suggested this, is beyond me.

Warriors v Dragons is at the dick and shit show at Suncorp Stadium.

So a Warriors home game then.

I turn my Foxtel subscription off in the summer. Might not need to turn it back on this winter.

The remaining nine games I can either attend or watch at the local.

Cheers for that breakdown.

it was always going to be over 3 days, but 9 wouldn't agree to it.

I wanted to go over to NZ this year with my family to see that game.

Go f**k yaself Greenberg ya f**ken f**khead jabroni.

Poor form, Todd should have personally called every fan to ask them about their holiday plans before scheduling the draw.

I reckon. Does he not know that I stand in the centre of the world and it revolves around me?

The rise in SCG games kind of cancels that out a fair bit. It will look shocking on TV and there wont be any atmosphere there.

^ If you're at the SCG, and a player from your team does something like this, believe me, you won't give a shit that it's being played there.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

We don’t play on dole weeks

To say most of people who live out at Campbelltown way are on the dole is just bullshyte. There are a lot of very expensive housing estates popping up everywhere now.

Lots of families and lots of kids.

Maybe if the West Tigers decided to make the area it’s homebase tather than the quota of fixtures it takes down there the people would embrace the Club more.

 

[Perth Red]

It says Origin 2 in Perth is 7:40 pm AEST. So almost a twilight kick off in Perth?

Edit: Of course - being Origin it should read 7:40 pm or whenever Channel 9 says they are ready to go.

Makes sense that time of year. Its a weekend game so no problem kicking off at 5:40pm WA time, it'll be dark by 6ish and possibly earlier if its one of our infamous stormy June NRL nights!

No NRL club games in Perth this year, sigh. So much for the expansion strategy.
