2023 Season Draw

[Penrose_11]

I see we’re only playing Panthers, Eels, Bunnies, Rorters and Storm once next year. That’s gotta be a good thing. A tough 1st 10 weeks though

Our draw always seems ok at the start of the year... and at the end, but somehow we do poorly...

Good to get those teams just once, but highlights the inequity in the season structure - so much depends on whether the Sharks and Cowboys can back up - they should probably use some broader (3 seasons or so ) metric (think they just use 1?)

Yeah the Sharks last season played every team that missed the top 8 twice, huge advantage

These things aren’t really that worthwhile because the strength of teams change from year to year, but here is a difficulty rating

Nothing magic for us playing the Panthers in magic round

That's a poor decision by the NRL. Why wouldn't they play a top team on such a showcase occasion? Also, I lose my local game at Penrith.

You sound like you're surprised at the quality of NRL decisions? I guess in comparison to Warriors decisions, anything looks good

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Great, now we can all move on from that silly notion that the NRL would ever consider making the rest of the competition play their home games here, or that clubs would act selflessly in volunteering to do so. Yes, that includes you SJ.

It's not just Saturday night piss talk (I hope) but next year will see me at Mt Smart for the very first time.
