The draw is released on Thursday, we already have Round 1 sorted against Melbourne. So let's have fun predicting who we play in Rounds 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. Easter Monday game will be in Round 7, so cannot count that.
It would be 0.1% chance anyone would get all 5 rounds right, though fun to speculate.
I have a feeling we will have Rounds 2 & 3 at home. Therefore, great chance Penrith is one of them early in the year. NRL love splitting the two games against us two with one to start the year and one to end the year. However, from last year the NRL chose to have the 4 Vegas teams play each other in the first 2 rounds. So Penrith play either NZ or Canberra in Round 2.
Anyway, here is a throw at the dice.
Round 2 v Dolphins (H)
Round 3 v Dragons (H)
Round 4 v Penrith (A)* Commbank away game
Round 5 v Sydney (H)
Round 6 v Canberra (A)
Round 7 v Wests (A)
Have fun, let's see what everyone would like to see or think we will get.
