When was the last time we played Parramatta twice in a season?

I guess we can expect to see Round 13 v Warriors shipped off to NZ, another 2 points given up.

 

[Tommy Smith]

That's an insanely tough looking first nine rounds.

I'd be ecstatic with a 5-4 start after that sequence...

Although perhaps it's Rnds 10, 11 & 12 we should be concerned about against the Sharks, Knights and Cowboys!

 

[Non Terminator]

Could see trips to Townsville, Wellington and Melbourne between Origins.

Rounds 12, 13 and 14 it looks like we will go to Townsville to NZ to Melbourne.

We have very few low drawers at home - just Cronulla, Canberra and Melbourne. Excellent from a crowds perspective, we don't have to play sh*t clubs like GC and Nth QLD.

Only complaint otherwise is same as yours - only one game against Parra, and its not til August. f**k Cronulla, why can't we play Pawwaaa twice?

 

[Southern Rooster]

3 of the first four at home we really need to win the home games at the start of the season next year. It could define the whole season. Teams will be wary of us next season now and we won't be able to slide in under the radar in 2011.

Round 1 is where your season begins and ends. I think the mental scarring we give you to kick off the season will damage your psyche so much you'll barely scrape into the finals.

Well, at least that's better than what you lot "achieved" this year after the usual round 1 thrashing.

Was this year your 2nd best finish in the last 21 years? Must have been close :lol:

We made the finals once, and then almost made the finals this year. So probably yeah. But if you graphed our last 20 years you'd see it's beginning to spike the last few years, we're on the way up.

What happened to the Roosters this season? A whole lot of overacheiving imho. I guess you had to make a grab at some glory before our era starts and shuts you out of premiership contention and back into our shadow for another decade.

 

[Timmah]

Wow, Bunniesman, have you come onto this forum (LU as a whole I mean) deliberately to be a belligerent wanker and get everyone offside? Fair dinkum, relax dude.

I almost got laid one night... Does that make me Errol Flynn?

It’s a good looking draw. The only complaint I will have is if we take the home game against the warriors to NZ. This year it sort of made sense given we only played them once but next year we play them away in round 5.

Additionally if we do move the game, between rounds 8-16 (9 weeks) we will have 2 byes, 1 home game and 6 “away games” ( one being the game in NZ). That would make it a very tough mid-season draw.

Also I am a bit bemused as to why we didn’t get one of our byes before an origin game, we play Newcastle, Storm and Canberra all before origins and we will most likely be without Carney/Pearce and Myles at a minimum. The Storm face the same issues at us but the other 2 will field strong sides.

Am I here to make friends? Not really.

Am I here to discuss rugby league, share my opinion, and hear other peoples opinions? Yes. And If in the process of doing that I annoy some people, that's not my problem.

Official website draw page says Round 6 v Brisbane will be at Bluetongue Stadium (home game).

 

[adamkungl]

when's our first trial? I'm bored.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

v Bullscum @ Henson I guess.

Thanks for last years news.
