[Suitman]

Raider Pete aside he will shout us all when we play in Canberra.

Seats in the box I would imagine.

He also said something about getting us some time with the best bitches in Canberra, I'm not sure if he meant hookers, or female dogs though.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Sounds great.
Your shout?

Suity

I'd shout you a road trip to New Zealand if we were playing them.

Yes as long as it's a road trip.

Ah yes, the Stuart Kelly cup is alive again. Luv watchin the eels at Lang park. Unless miracles happen, cant see the donks flourishing under the guidance of the twisted testicle

Sadly the full draw is NOT yet out. This is the 'round by round' draw which is indicative of whot we will play each round.

The full draw for the NRL only becomes available a few weeks before games are played. That tells us what DAY we actually play.

Also, on the draw (as I can see it anyway) it doesn't say where we play. Just who the home team is (ie, is it an ANZ game or Parra stadium).

Would be nice if the NRL could lay down the law when negotiating the new TV rights deals and actually state what day everyone plays well in advance!

If you are just worried about Parramatta playing home games. Any game unless it is against the Dogs of the Rabbitohs is at Parramatta Stadium. Those two are the only teams we play at ANZ during the regular season as we have a reciprocal rights agreement with ANZ Stadium for those clubs.

Some of the Away games though, were do we play the West Tigers, were do we play St George Illawarra, these are also not answered by the current draw.

Good to see that we start at Parramatta Stadium.
Won't be easy against the Broncos, but it's a good early test for our new-look side.

 

[Pazza]

Can't wait to neck the Broncos!

Thanks MiTS - I know who we play at ANZ, just making the point that a draw which does not include dates, times or locations is not a full draw!

It might be that we can deduce locations (although as you point out, we can only know our home games based on current arrangements) - but we still don't know which of the 4 days of the weekend our particular game might be!

Can't wait for the NRL to pull their socks up and get professional about their draw! Let us know in advance when/ where/ what time and not just whom we are playing!

Only when FOXTEL/Nine doesn't have such a say in what games it covers on what days, a full season draw with dates/venues in place will become a reality. If the AFL can achieve this no reason why the league can't push for this when the rights are up for negoitation again.

And we have all know that is coming next year or when ever the new TV Deal starts, the constant bleating on about it gets a little bit tedious, for mine.

Having said that, I don't have a problem learning the dates 5 weeks out, to organise travel, I always seem to get cheep flights to the games, but hey that might just be how prepared I am for the draw to come out.

 

[strider]

yeah i don't really have a problem with them holding back exact dates and times .... its better than getting 14th v 15th as the main game on TV on a Friday night :?

 

[mickdo]

Frankly, 5 weeks ahead doesn't bother me

 

[born an eel]

we just want more sunday afternoon games, so what ever it takes.

seems that the markets have a permanant booking so we might have missed out there :crazy: seems they can commit to a schedule and stick to it :lol:

i think the markets would love a sunday game to bring in some customers the last time i checked it out the stallholders outnumbered the punters about 3 to 1 :sarcasm:
