NSW Cup trial in which we planned to stack cancelled.

Playing everyone last week solves the issue of a weakened Bears team

It’s a tough draw to start the season.

The Sharks will be tough, particularly given so many of our players coming back from off season surgeries.

When season 2025 draw was released I got in early and booked in accomodation in Bathurst and Mudgee.

Received our members email advising pre sale for Bathurst game was 11th February. Wife got on straight away only to learn grandstand sold out.i know the stand only holds hundreds not thousands but it was strange they were snapped up so quickly, some fans/sponsors obviously knew in advance and were able to take advantage by the looks of things.

I held off. Wasn't happy that the Bathurst game would be Origin affected. Mudgee trip is being planned but its in August. Even contemplated going to NZ but again that will be 2-3 days post-Origin and its highly unlikely anyone will back up.

I'll know in a couple months when I try to purchase for the Raiders game if its just a Bathurst thing.

I ended up securing two corporate tickets which includes drink and food package, parking etc. Not cheap, but I stood to lose my pre paid two nights accommodation So all good in the end.

I wouldn't complain if Cleary, Ponga etc were playing. Love the country games.

It's the week before Origin I so unfortunately the sides will be gutted of the best talent.

Both add to our poor scheduling. Mudgee should not be the 6pm Friday game

I'll do Thursday evening leave the Sunday. 6.00pm won't worry me at all. Might not worry Mudgee people either? Just the out of town fans.

Scheduling is a big deal for us this year. We've got a nice stretch in Sydney throughout the winter months but it's still Parramatta. It won't feel like home.

These deals rely on Tourism. I guess they will hope people stick around for a 2nd night and visit the wineries.

1 of those 'home' games is Parra in Parra.

That would of been my choice for Magic Round or 1 of the country games.

Not to mention Playing NQ at Parra at 6pm on Friday... the handful of fans turn up to that deserve a medal.

shockingly bad the way they scheduled some games
