Would we have 8 games per round if the new gold coast team starts playing in 2007

[Broncos fan]

Is it 8 games per round, with no byes if the new Gold Coast team starts playing in 07???

 

[The Engineers Room]

There will be some rounds where teams will have byes around origin time.

 

[Razor]

8 games a week
25 rounds
All teams have the bye the same round mid-year

 

[PARRA_FAN]

They should have split rounds during Origin time, stuff the bye.

 

[Razor]

No split rounds

That's unfair to some teams

Some teams play matches before the Origin thereby missing their players, but other teams play matches after the Origin and have their players.

Origin should stand alone. The only match of the weekend

I thought it was two seperate weekends for eight teams each of them over Origin period...

I'm not in favor of the stand alone origin game on the weekend.

I think the only fair way would be that each team will have their bye before one of the origins.

So 6 teams get the bye before Origin 1, 6 before origin 2, 4 before Origin 3.

 

[JoeysChiropractor]

Split round for origin with 8 teams playing the weekend before for the first origin, then swapping to having the week after origin 2. And vice versa


Origin 3 all teams have a bye

 

[Mr Saab]

pick the winners and margins will be even more fun

In the initial press release it said they'd all have a bye in the same week. It might have said otherwise in a later press release that I haven't seen, so you could be correct.

Correct me if im wrong but I think its.
2 x Friday Night Games
3 x Saturday Games
2 x Sunday Afernoon Games
1 x Monday Game

And if u have foxtel digital you get to choose which game you'd like to watch on the games that overlap.

You would think that there would have to be more FTA games when 2006 starts. It would be good if there were Saturday arvo games again, with ABC televising. Those were the days

Yes, happy to confirm there will be an additional FTA game per round on Friday Night:

Friday Night - 1 live; 1 delayed
Sunday - 1 live or delayed

 

[Mr. Snrub]

Hoorah!

 

[Copa]

Even better is that there will be RL on the tele 4 days a week.

 

[aussies1st]

4 days out of 7 days not bad at all. About time nine showed games live.
