Fun talk: who might we play in round 1?

It is November so the 2024 is draw is due in the next week or two, let's have fun and guess who we could verse in round 1. Now with 4 clubs already named for Vegas, it narrows it down to a 1-12 chance of getting it right.

Nrl have a habit of double dipping on who we play first at times, Penrith in 2018/19. 

I'll go out on a limb and predict Melbourne again. At this stage only round 4 for Easter Monday with Wests is guarenteed.

  • Bye week 1

    Warriors in New Zealand Week 2

    Brisbane in Brisbane Week 3

    Some shit like that probably 

    • Imagine a Round 1 bye. Though with the comp set to be 18 then 20, the days of a bye every week is limited, I think the NRL have clubs that are exempt from it. Us being one due to our fan base.

    • Broadcast ratings are great with Parra all the time which is why we always play at the most inconvenient times.

      No way we'd get a Round 1 bye. I predit we will be Thursday night.

  • Does anyone remember our opening round being in Nz one time against warriors?? 
    our first year with SK. 
    and we won. 
    after the game, this site went crazy with saying, "at last, we have structure" 

    "so lucky we got SK" 

     

  • Round 1 vs the Broncos, in Suncorp, in the middle of the afternoon, guaranteed 40°c.
    5 day turnaround to play the Warriors in NZ on a torrential Friday night and it's -5°c. 
    Then we play every team coming off the bye for the next 8 rounds. All our home games are either the 6pm Friday or the early Saturday game.
    Then we play the Rabbitohs in Indigenous Round. 
    Then back to back away games vs Melbourne, Penrith and the Roosters.  
    We're the last team to get a bye. 
    We're the only team during the state of Origin period not to get a bye at all. 
    Broncos to play at least 16 games at Suncorp. 

    • Mutts way off. It'll be 18 games at Suncorp, the other 6 in QLD somehow.

    • Aw, . So you didn't notice that brad had the cushiest draws for years and now that he had a half decent draw in 23 the Unicorns came out and lambasted the nrl -  poor things.

      Another Unicorn post

      Imagine the club had to travel like nq or the Warriors.   There's no way ba could pull of a top 8 and the Unicorns would always be making excuses. 

      Wait and see in 24 when we don't get the best draw and the kids start throwing toys from the cot and other sites start excusing ba once again.   

      The other site dedicated a whole month of making excuses for brad this year.  The facts are that brad is a failure in the finals bar one lucky game

      • Half decent draw? Even the NRL admitted they 'could do better'. Our draw was horrendous and that was widely acknowledged by everyone. You somehow twisted a fun blog into (yet another) I hate BA blog. Blah blah blah we've all heard it Zzzzzzzzz

  • Round 1 - Cowboys in Darwin

    Round 2 - Storm in Melbourne

    Round 3 - Newcastle in Newcastle

    Round 4 - Penrith at Bankwest

    Round 5 - Bye

    Round 6- Raiders in Canberra

    Round 7- Dolphins in Redcliffe

    Round 8 - Season over

    • No it will be round 11 after BA is extended.
