From NRL.com

• The Roosters' toughest string of fixtures comes at either end of the season with two blocks of three games materialising into litmus tests to see where they are at initially and then how they are tracking with the finals imminent. In the first three rounds of 2015 the Roosters face all three of their opponents from the 2014 Finals Series in the Cowboys, Rabbitohs and Panthers. In the same vein, their final three fixtures will see them come up against Brisbane, Manly and South Sydney.

• While the outer layers of their draw are set to be difficult, the fillings of the tricolours season looks slightly more friendly, especially when State of Origin comes around. With byes scheduled prior to Origin I and III, unless James Maloney and Mitchell Pearce earn a NSW recall, Aidan Guerra and Boyd Cordner are likely to be the only stars missing from their Round 14 clash with the Warriors in Auckland. Elsewhere through the Origin period the Roosters meet Melbourne (after Origin I), Cronulla, the Dragons and Gold Coast in between. While a streak of three away games sits in this period, the Roosters should have enough manpower to come through that time of year relatively unscathed.

• The Roosters have a happy away schedule with trips to Townsville (Round 1), Brisbane (Round 6), Melbourne (Round 9), New Zealand (Round 14) and Newcastle (Round 22) the only five times they'll travel out of Sydney over the course of the regular season. They also have an equal spread of games with the club pencilled into play four Fridays, five Saturdays, six Sundays and three Mondays in the first 20 rounds.

• The Roosters play the Dragons twice at Allianz Stadium in 2015 with the 4pm clash on Anzac Day the centrepiece of a 10-hour NRL extravaganza. Other must-see clashes are the Friday night meeting with the Tigers (Round 8), a Sunday afternoon game against the Warriors in Round 19 and the final round thriller against the Rabbitohs.

Jennings? Tupou?

Looking at that draw, it does absolutely nothing for my beer drinking habits

1 Friday Night game, 1 Saturday game at 4 pm

2 Monday night games, which I will not attend as I flat out refuse
I hate Monday Night Football and I refuse to participate

Sunday games galore? Who needs a Monday morning hangover
I don't drink on Sundays

Utter f**king gash

 

[Valheru]

Ha-Ha I am feeling you lambretta. The positive is that we have some big clashes in the last 6 weeks likely to be a Friday and we have 2 Friday night games at ANZ against Dogs and Wests which I will attend. Also, the Sharks home Sunday game is Easter Sunday so may as well treat it like a Saturday

One thing I don't understand is the NRL said one of the reasons the draw was delayed was to ensure Monday night games are at small venues to look better on TV and then we get given 2 Monday night home games against Penrith and Melbourne.

Jennings? Tupou?

Tupou is on the decline. Disappointing this year.

That young winger coming through Nene will probably be a better player than Tupou.

Agree 100% - Tupou was a complete space cadet this year, and every time he was out Nene McDonald had a blinder. I honestly couldn't work out why they kept starting Tupou...
