Need to go through it but just quickly
- turn arounds look good
- 5 games then bye 6 games then bye is good... But then we go 3 games bye then 10 games straight
- Only play Storm and Panthers once both away

Looks a pretty good draw.
A couple of good blocks of games then the bye to work on what’s gone right or wrong to start the year, then a full run into the finals to peak.
Lots of 7 day turnarounds and Sunday games.

It’s not shocking and there are always poor choices for days (dragons) and we always sacrifice 2 home games so I suppose it is “ok”

Not that FTA matters as much these days but we have the equal most FTA games with the Panthers and Eels at 12.

Where is the 5 day turn around? Also I see that we are shipped off to Perth for the souths game. Annoying.

I counted 11 but may have missed the bunnies in Perth on Saturday at end of season?

SHARKS (4th)

Games played against -

Top eight: 10

Top four: 4

Bottom eight: 13

Bottom four: 6

Who they play twice: South Sydney, St George Illawarra, Manly, North Queensland, Newcastle, Canberra, Warriors, Canterbury

Analysis: The Sharks play the equal second fewest matches against top eight teams with 10, while they have the outright fewest matches against top four teams with four. The Sharks play the second most matches against bottom eight teams with 13 and equal second most games against bottom four teams with six. The Rabbitohs, Cowboys and Raiders are the only top eight teams they meet twice.


4th easiest draw according to fox sports... All bullshit but whatever I find it interesting. I love that kick off will be so early in March!
