I'd love the Knights to never play the Raiders in Canberra, or Melbourne in Melbourne.

Round one next year vs the Dragons would be epic - whack it on a Friday night.

Oh and I'd also love the Knights to play just one game at the SCG, but that'll never happen.

Round 1 vs Raiders in Wollongong. Get it out of the way straight away.

Newcastle very early on in the season, will be a massive game.

Broncos at Kogarah. I can't remember the last time they were there.

Home game against the Storm, haven't had one since 09.

For Souths:

-Roosters x2, once in the first round and then once after origin
-Bulldogs x2, one on Easter Monday and the other after origin
-Tigers x2, one of them in heritage round and the other after origin. If heritage round isn't at the SCG it should be at ANZ as we have never hosted Heritage Round.
-Eels x2, one on the Queen's Birthday. The Queen's birthday needs to be exploited by the NRL and I think an annual clash between us and Parra could become a big tradition.
-Dragons x2, preferably at Kogarah
-Broncos in Sydney, for the first time since 2004
-Warriors at home rather than home games against the Titans or Cowboys

For Manly - more Sunday afternoon games, especially when playing other Sydney clubs.

And a home game against the Storm

Not too fussed about playing the odd home game at Blutongue or even Suncorp - if it's good for the club then so be it.

Have Sth Sydney come to Perth for a full two weeks, play two fixtures one after the the other (one an afternoon game please!) and spend the time in between promoting the game, doing some work in the Nth with Aboriginal communities and running coaching clinics for WA Jnrs.
That's a really good idea IMO - but you'd need another club to give up a home game to Perth wouldn't you? I doubt the Bunnies (or any club?) would give up two home games to a different state.

Anyway, for the Warriors, I'd just put my hand up for home games against the Storm and Broncos. The Broncos should come to NZ every year, it always seems to be the biggest home game of the season.

-Knights vs LOL@50uff$ Round 1 Ausgrid Stadium. I want us to make a statement. A statement of LOL.
-I'm not afraid of the Raiders in Canberra anymore. Pencil it in as far as I'm concerned.
-Knights vs Dragons on Old Boys Day. That would be a fiery encounter.

2006, but I see your point. There seems to be a few clashes which never get played at one side's home ground on a regular basis. Wish they'd share it around.

Knights v Dragons was OBD in 2010 from memory, doubt they'd do it again.

I would prefer MNF gorn, but if we must have our share of this farce, out of town teams, Warriors, Broncs, Tit, Cows, not f**king Saints, Parra etc.

Storm, Dragons, Cows, Titans, Manly twice. None of these games during the rep season. We can play 50uff$ then... :lol:

We had a stretch a few years ago where we played the Panthers in three out of five Old Boys Day games :p

You'd still lose mate. It might be the only games we win but 2x SGI are the two
I know. Still the Tigers and Roosters finally cracked us for wins in the Bennett era this year, so I have not lost all hope that one day I'll see us finish in front of the Raiders again. On the scoreboard, at fulltime, no less. Being in front of the Raiders on the league ladder come the finals is a given of course. ;-)

As a Roosters supporter that lives in Qld, I would love to have them play the Broncos, Titans and cowboys twice. Bring on season 2012.

For mine

Every club should play 6 games at each time slot (Friday night, saturday night, Sunday afternoon, Monday night)

Home game against storm.

Play Roosters/Canterbury/Tigers/Souths/Brisbane on a home and away basis each season.
