Is the Monday night curse back?

[Mr Saab]

Round one - Souffs vs Roosters
Both lost round 2

Round two - NZ vs Eels
Both lost round 3

Round three - Manly vs Sharks
Round 4 = ????

Well Manly play the Dragons and Sharks play the Cowboys. So I can see them both losing.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Possibly.

That would have been a taxing game.

Having Gallen and Smith chain-sawing through you for 80 minutes would be tiring.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Good training session for the Sharks. Cows are in trouble

 

[M2D2]

I think it wont be till round 5 til we find out for sure.

R4 MNF: WST v CAN

R5 MNF: CAN V NQ

Hopefully that means we can read into Manly beating Newcastle (26 - 12) in R3 last year also :sarcasm:

Edit. Sharks dragons was rd2

To be fair I think the Warriors were the only team that were favourites to win their next game.

Monday night hangovers have always been a bit of a problem though, especially from Monday to Saturday. If the NRL had any control over game scheduling I'd say they should look at making the Monday night teams play the following sunday. The same applies to Sunday teams playing the following Friday. It can be a little inequitable when you have certain teams playing nothing but Friday night games for 90% of the season.

The problem with fixed schedualing is that it will cost the game revenue, we must maintain the floating draw to assist with the big payday. It's the old cake and eating it scenario.

 

[Dr.J]

News Ltd not having to pay full fare for TV rights is what has cost the game revenue, not the threat of losing the floating schedule. AFL have a fixed schedule and get more than double per game from Foxtel than NRL despite lower ratings.

How many Monday to Saturday turnovers have the Broncos had?

Very similar game to the second round last year as well, the physicality of the Sharkies was just immense last night. Pity for their fan's sanity is that they put the cue in the rack for the last 10

I thought the Bronx only played on Friday night?
