First five fixtures according to Nine:
The draw is always a crock of shit. So over this garbage. I’m surprised the nrl didn’t jam it right up us and send us to Townsville or NZ for round 5Also to play Sharks again in round 9 and Bulldogs round 12. I hate complaining too much about the draw but seriously? We start the season where we'll have to spend the first two weeks in qld. We return back home to play two Sydney teams, and then away to Newcastle, so we get no advantage of a team travelling to play us at all despite spending the first two rounds in another state. Could we not have at the very least played: canberra @ home or Newcastle @ home?
- St George Illawarra: Gold Coast (A), Dolphins (A), Cronulla (H), Manly (H), Newcastle (A)
