When is 08 draw out??

[humpy]

Season ticket renewal just came in for my Roosters. Does anyone know when the draw for next year is out?? Going to be travelling for a while after mid season, and just want to make sure home games are not stacked towards the end of the season??

i know it is usually due around this time, but does anyone have a set date?

 

[Red Bear]

isnt it early november at the nrl conference they work it out?

 

[Timmah]

End of October according to something I saw.

 

[mattyg]

i thought it was late november...but i'd be very happy for it to be earlier...i wanna plan out next season

 

[Timmah]

It's rarely late in November... normally it's been the first 10 or so days... maybe out to the 15th but never that late, not for a long while anyway. As I said though, I'm sure they mentioned it would be late this month this year.

Gallop is on BSB after 8, Ive emailed them to ask them to ask him if and when the NRL will ever get into the 21st century and release a full season draw like other codes can manage rather than just the first few weeks.
I await the typical pass the buck "Oh we're contracted to Channel 9..." reply if it gets asked.

I'd like to see them make na event of the Release of the Draw. Nein or Fox could get a panel together, comprising CEOs, coaches, prominent players and media hacks to go through the draw from every angle. What they like, what they don't like, what they would have preferred and the reasons for some of the decisions made.

It would promote interest in the NRL and give us footy tragics more to talk about round the water coolers in the off-season.

good idea but realistically what are they going to talk about from say round 6 onwards.... they cant discuss form cos the first 5 rounds have not been played yet, they dont know of injuries or anything like that.....i think it would be a waste of the coaches ceo's and players time to televise a draw.

Well....he didnt disappoint.
Fat quaddie basically labelled league fans fickle...."AFL fans will watch any game at any time..."

"Start winning games and you will get FTA exposure" - Gallop.

How many FTA did the Warriors get?

 

[_Johnsy]

in 07 i think in december, an early xmas pressie

 

[mattyg]

just looked through the older threads. It appears as though the draw was released November 14th last year. I'll expect around the same this year.

Yeah exactly. We have our best regular season since 2002, finish 4th and still only get 2 ch9 games.

We'd be better of finishing last.....then we will get 10 games.

 

[Timmah]

In all fairness - the Warriors are a New Zealand side and they are seen LIVE on Sky Sports every week. Sure, they have fans in Australia, but it is quite difficult to schedule a game on Channel Nine in NZ due to the time difference.

so why did penrith have so many :?

gallop is a twat so f**k him

would sky sports be pay tv in NZ?

But the winning games comment is crap - look how many FTA games Penrith got.

 

[NK Arsenal]

Have the teams even handed in their 1-15 thing yet?

 

[Timmah]

That was the one thing that baffled me... Penrith getting so many games. We're used to Newcastle and St George Illawarra being Nein darlings but Penrith was an odd one.

And I highly doubt we'll see a 1-25 schedule come out... once again the AFL will book their nights at Telstra Stadium and f**k our draw for the umpteenth season.

F*ck off Timmah, stop defending Nein. When they are fair to RL, I'll be fair to them.

 

[Timmah]

Stop defending Nein?

I'm not defending them but there are generally practical explanations. Clearly I've come up with one you can't retort

What a load of horsesh*t. Why don't you just get on their payroll?
