Final line:
THE NRL will release its 2008 draw to clubs today.

Earlier this year? Sure feels like it, i remember most draws being released after end of season rep footy.

 

[Timmah]

It hasn't been this early in a very long time, if ever. IIRC anyway.

Get used to it Parra fans, once Dennis smells that moola, it'll be 3 in '09, 4 in '10

The converse problem with that is the complaints from the Warrior folk that the games are then on too late for them to watch, blah blah blah.

That post makes no sense.

LOCAL derbies and historical sentiment will be the order of the first round as the NRL looks to kick off rugby league's centenary season with a bang. The 2008 NRL draw was revealed with a host of mouth-watering clashes in the opening round starting March 14.

The blockbuster clashes include Parramatta up against the Bulldogs, Wests Tigers versus St George Illawarra, Manly taking on Cronulla and the traditional South Sydney v Sydney Roosters clash.

Melbourne will kick-off their premiership defence against the New Zealand Warriors at Olympic Park.

The new-look draw will see an extra bye with the number of local derbies and marquee matches increased, the key change being a move away from the previous pool system.

Each club was asked to nominate which teams it would most want to play to attract the most fans, based on either traditional rivalry or on the basis of maximising attendance.

The top four requests of each club were met.

Features of the draw see all Queensland teams playing each other twice, and a Heritage round in round 6 as the game celebrates exactly 100 years since the first premiership game.
