The Bye

Could anyone enlighten me on how the bye is allocated? Can you ask for a particular round? I'd just like to know how it is determined and I can't find the information on it. A few guys at work were talking about it and it opened up the usual 5 different truths.

Any help would be appreciated.....

Whoever is in charge of doing up the draw just gets on the blower to the News Ltd teams like Brisbane & Melbourne and asks them which weeks they would like, then the rest are just plucked out of a hat and given a bye where it fits best, or gives said News Ltd best advantage.

Don't think there's any play. Teams choose what grounds they play their home games on, pretty sure thats it.

Dates and times are decided by TV networks.

Actually round make up is done randomly by the NRL boffins

I initially started this thread so I wouldn't mind posing another question to you all. I have had a play with the ladder predictor on the NRL website and I think we are going to end up on the same amount of points as the Warriors (28 by my reckoning if we can beat the Roosters). There is a real chance we will miss the 8.

A few years ago Sheens said he'd walk away if we failed to make the 8. Bearing in mind we were favourites for this season before a ball was kicked, missing the 8 (should it happen) must be seen as a failure therefore he should again honour that statement. I accept we have had problems losing Ellis but our problems go way deeper than that. He is stale in his ideas, his selections are mind boggling and his failure to get the best out of players can clearly be seen.

We will probably win the next half dozen games and he will prove me wrong(God I hope so) but sadly I don't think that is going to happen. Frankly he is on the nose as much as Blair is at the moment.
