No real surprises Round 1, a few towards the end though.

 

[Bodsy]

Pretty Happy with first five rounds, 4 home games, Woo!

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Wow, big opening 3 weeks for Parra. Saints, Manly and Wests Tigers. Hopefully big crowds.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Dont like Parra vs Bulldogs just before the test match and City vs Country. Both teams could be very weak for such a big clash.

Aren't the teams for the Test match and City Vs Country announced on Sunday night i.e. it wont affect the teams the round before?

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

I thought they got the preceding round off to prepare for the matches. That could be 3 games in 7 days

 

[pcpp]

Sigh.... Test match and City v Country on the same day again.

Tigers have Broncos just before SOO 3.......2 points thanks Mr. Gallop

Wests didnt beat Melbourne before game 2 this year, what makes you think Brisbane will be any different.

 

[kia ora storm]

A bad draw for Storm...3 away games to start with...not good.

 

[Green Machine]

Sigh.... Test match and City v Country on the same day again.

Only the NRL could do that

Panthers have a fairly difficult start to the season with a sh*tload of travelling in the opening 8 weeks... with a home game every odd week and an out of Sydney game in between. But the back end of the season only requires us to travel out of Sydney on 3 occassions which will be great if we can survive the opening 8 weeks:

Round 1 @ Penrith
Round 2 @ North QLD
Round 3 @ Penrith
Round 4 @ Newcastle
Round 5 @ Penrith
Round 6 @ New Zealand
Round 7 @ Penrith
Round 8 @ Gold Coast

Although so long as we have the current roster and coach we could have all the big teams before Origin matches and it wouldn't help us out.

I think thats for your new stadium.

 

[thommo4pm]

well once again Saints can't get the opening round at home.
Must be 7 years straight now. Unbelievable.

We must have the hardest draw of the lot after 6 rounds...I'll be more than happy to be 3/3 after 6 rounds.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Do the Minor Premiers still get to choose their round 1 opponents?

 

[Goddo]

awesome we get cronulla, souths, bulldogs, parramatta and broncos twice.

 

[Timmah]

Correct.

[ostrich20]

Do the Minor Premiers still get to choose their round 1 opponents?

I always thought it was the premiers who were able to do that. Obviously not this year....

 

[thommo4pm]

Not looking forward to playing Canberra in Canberra in round 24.

Glad we only play the Tigers once though, they will be the real improvers next year if they have a good year with injury.

 

[thommo4pm]

Wonder if the Telegraph will be pushing for Parra to move the Round 1 match against Saints so an extra 20,000 people can get into the ground.

Or was that just an agenda Phil F*ckface had against Saints.
