2023 Draw

[eddiesmith]

Newcastle the team to not play during magic round, not a bad thing really.

can’t believe the articles pushing it as a loss for Newcastle!!! Yeah, every team would be gutted not to have to travel to QLD again and play a home game at Suncorp v Donkeys.

I’d have taken a bye round 1 to be honest. We don’t often get 2 points and bunnies will be tough.

So, barring a draw, Dragons will be 9th after Rd. 1…

Rnd1 home game. Cool.

Nah, better off getting a rest a few games in

You’re right. I just want 2pts after round 1.

 

[Eion]

Ha fair enough, would be nice to see for once.

 

[Mr Angry]

Lang Park, so close to Redcliffe.........

 

[lolesi]

Eels round two.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Eels round two.

Again? Tough start. Making up for last years draw already.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Dragons round 4

 

[roboshark]

Again? Tough start. Making up for last years draw already.

We knew they would. So much attention in the media by the usual suspects

 

[R-15-3]

Looks like we have avoided the bye in the first month of footy.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Yep all byes accounted for so far.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Lang Park, so close to Redcliffe.........

Yeah . a slap in face to sunshine coast fans, but on positive note it might swing over a few disgruntled Boncos fans or Brisbanites, looking for a team nearby to follow. NRL marketin g must have done their homework on it (haha!)

 

[Ozzi_78]

Round 1 - Souths
Round 2 - Eels
Round 3 is from this list
Canberra
North Queensland
Melbourne
Titans
Round 4 - Dragons

Avoiding the bye in the first month and a round 1 home game is a great result.

Avoiding the bye in the first month and a round 1 home game is a great result.

And if that round 3 game is at home even better.
