Getting a bit bored of this 'we've got an easy draw based on which teams did and didn't play well last year'. It doesn't take into account where we play them, when we play them, playing against teams coming off a loss, after a bye, after a win, after a long turnaround, after a short turnaround. And then there's our own psyche to consider. E.g we play Manly and Melbourne back to back. Two very tough games and a challenge I've no doubt BA will underline with his pencil and say to the team 'lets win these two on the road and make a statement that we're the real deal'. If against the odds we win these I predict we'll lose to Penrith the following match because we'll take it a bit easy after passing such a massive test.
The point is it's impossible to tell from here which games we'll be expected to win and in what games we'll be the underdogs. How many games have we thrown away after being installed as favourites? How many have we won against more fancied opponents? Seriously all we can do is take one game at a time.
Agree, there is no easy game in the comp. The breakdown of 5,6 day turn arounds is also interseting not to mention some teams play better footy during the day and some the evening. Its all relative.
"I believe the recruitment issues and inability to land the biggest fish is from a combination of where we are in the recruitment pecking order I said above and the fact we've committed to not spending overs . Unless we spend overs we won't get…"

Poor titans lol
The reason the titans draw is so hard is cause there are soooo shit. If they dropped down to the qld cup they would complain about a tough draw
Its a pretty simple point even for you, we have an easy draw, just basic facts.
Bwahaha
the rankings dont take into account that we have a equal high amount of 5 days turnaround compared to broncos zero
How many is that?
3 or 4
Eating humble pie.
