Well of course we get Penrith and Brisbane twice, they are big ratings and crowd games. Thats pretty much every year. Same playing Dogs twice a year.
Have we ever won a MR game? All I can remember are defeats and some truly bad ones.
We beat the Warriors. Jake Arthur scored and his dad cried.
I just alway find it funny that it is in Brisbane and yet it is an away game for them each year. The NRL couldn't give the Broncos any more of a leg up.
Yep 100%. It should be home games for Brisbane, Dolphins and Titans at a minimum. You could argue for the Cowboys too. But no, Parra are like the dopey 5th mate who keeps doing everyone favours.
Then again this is the first time we've had home game at Magic Round. Manly have hosted a home game every year of Magic Round. Same with Souths.
We played Tigers R2 then again R7 last year and I don't seem to remember anyone sooking then.
Exactly. If we were the best team in the comp draw is irrelevant.
There is no hit job on us, it is simply we are a big draw card on ratings and crowds so we play the other big draw teams.

Same with Souths and Roosters playing twice, Brisbane playing all QLD teams and Melbourne twice.
Every year without fail we will have Penrith, Dogs, Tigers at least twice.
Lets face it you are never going to get a perfect draw. I mean look at it last year you draw Canberra twice and think sweet they are a tip for the spoon easy games. Turns out Canberra are good then you realise you have them twice and complain we got screwed. Like we have no clue who will be good and not and makes the draw look better or worse simple as that.
Who knows we could draw Dragons, Tigers and Titans twice and say how good is this. Then those 3 are great teams and we all think NRL are doing this on purpose.
