  • Tough start but I reckon if we can be mid ladder and stay injury free we can finish in the top 8. The last 8 rounds, including the bye, we could collect 12 or 14 points out of a possible 16 given some of the teams we play.

  • Not our worst draw, we play 3 top teams twice and I think we can go close in those matches 

  • 6 out of our first 9 games are at home. Commbank 

    That has to be something sort of advantage

    our Byes are well spaced also 

    • Though around 12 for first bye is tough. 

      • I reckon that's good timing, getting them early doesn't really benefit you at all.

  • I don't think we can complain too much about this draw. Even though we have a horrible start having to play both last years grand finalist's away in the first 2 weeks, we only play 3 of this years top 8 teams twice & as LB mentioned, we have the least amount of travel out of any team.

    I'll take it

  • If you want to win the comp it should not matter who we play. There are no easy games in the nrl

    • Excellent response Kendoza. No such thing as a fair draw when we don't play everyone twice. Even then people would complain when we play them.

      We should be a in a spot where we are a good enough team to beat everyone.

    • That's true and I've said as much myself in the past but if you aren't a real premiership contender and are trying to build for a tilt in the near future a bad draw can really set you back. I don't think this is a bad draw overall but that start could break us.

      • But we do have 6 of our first 9 at home.
