2020 NRL draw re-release

[Generalzod]

If where still including the 2 last games that where played why not just continue with the last draw????

 

[AJB1102]

At least the Chooks could never claim a genuine 3peat.

 

[Canard]

At least the Chooks could never claim a genuine 3peat.

They can't claim a genuine repeat either.

The GF results will look like this in the future:

2019*
2020*

The old draw had some teams playing each other twice within the span of a couple weeks (who knows why), and now they want to get every team to play each other once first, then have the 5 hand picked match ups at the end.

While writing this I realised that could be because they think those last 5 rounds might be allowed crowds, so they will basically engineer 5 rounds worth of well drawing matches

Does anyone else, like me, loathe the media’s use of the word “reveal” for every 2nd bloody headline they put out, like they’ve uncovered some amazing secret through journalistic skill... Like they’ve found Tutankhamen’s f@@@ing tomb...

“Braith Anasta Reveals his top 5 grand finals”...

What a f@@@ing scoop!

Wouldn't surprise to have repeats in the first three rounds.

...every team to play each other once first...

This should be the starting point every year.

Well according to triple m it appears that the whole session will be played without crowds, and that’s including origin.....

This year is definitely an asterisk comp unless of course the chooks win in which case it will be legitimate.

No one knows yet. They will prob do TBA for the last 6 or so games to hold out hope

There is no home with no crowd, not fussed, more interested that they spread the games around.

A hygiene thing no doubt, much spit and nostril cleaning, then your head gets rubbed in it.

The wife hates sport for that reason, germ free lady.

After games, and I'm not sure how universal a practice this is, they completely surface spray the entire ground with a detergent.

Hard to do when you have grounds that are shared etc

Some could say Sharks wasn’t genuine... I am sure Sharks fans don’t care.

91 unlimited interchange rule was changed mid season. Again could use the argument not genuine... No Panther fan cares.

As with this. Once the season is done no one will care

 

[Mr Angry]

Poor Cowboys get a brand new stadium and cannot use it.

Why bring the players to high populations, would have thought Townsville better.

But OK.

 

[The unknown]

I agree, cowboys should be allowed to use their shiny new stadium

 

[Generalzod]

No crowds no atmosphere hell Let’s just start the competition lol

 

[TheFrog]

Canberra faves for the comp @TAB. Can't argue with that. They'll be very highly motivated after last years F/ups in the GF.

They deserve it.

 

[TheFrog]

Does seem a bit odd to give Melbourne two “home” games in Sydney, could just as easily made those Bunnies and Raiders home games, or one of them at least.

That said I’m not too fussed, Storm play well on the road, just glad we can start talking about the comp again and not iso breaches or anti-vax dipshits.

By May 30, AFL will be in full contact training, maybe the Raiders game will be in Melbourne.

Would be a cost issue. Penrith is better than Campbelltown and Newcastle better than CCoast. Easier to have the setup for a few grounds given the cost
