2023 NRL draw

[eels_fan]

Multiple Reports have us starting with

Storm
Sharks
Manly
Panthers

and of course Penrith get a bye in Round 3 just so they are super fit and ready haha

 

[the phantom menace]

Four top 8 teams... ending Round 4 with two wins would be a good outcome.

Anything more (3-1, 4-0) would be a bonus, though anything less (including 0-4) starts to look a bit like our 2018 start to the season.

Top 8 from what year?
Did Manly make the 8 this year or were they one of those teams that weren't the other 7?

Weel spotted - I forgot their catastrophic decline after the Pride jersey game!

Before they stopped playing for each other (and talking to each other?) they were a top 8 level side.

Looks like we are playing the broncos in Darwin and at the Gabba next year.

Geez, with that start to the season Matto’s selfish decision could become even more costly

Once again we get screwed with a tough draw, Matto missing the first 3 weeks looks even more selfish now.

We only play Dragons & Tigers once.

Agree should be a match up we do twice.

Interesting to see how we start. I suspect we'll know where we'll likely be after the first 5 weeks.

We play 3 times before Origin, against Cowboys, Manly and Warriors. The first two teams should be impacted with the Trbo's and DCE out for Manly and plenty for the Cowboys, where we should really only have Junior out.

Also interesting to see what sort of team both clubs bother putting out for our first trial against the Panthers. They will have the World Club Challenge the week later.

The Bye in the last round is interesting, a freshen up for the Finals or get to go on the end of season trip before everyone else.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Noticed the Manly Home game is on my birthday.

Week before origin so no Turbo or DCE to deal with as they will either be injured or playing origin.

We haven't lost on my birthday since i was born. Only played a couple of times though.

And Seibold's last visit to Commbank was 58-0.

 

[JokerEel]

We get a bye leading into the finals!

BA could be in Bali before september then.

Matterson really stuck it to the NRL by missing games against two top 4 teams and Manly at Brookvale in the first 3 weeks. Take that NRL!!
