Round 1 2026 against?

So i saw a post on FB similar so i will just copy here and get your suggestions.

Who are we playing in Round 1? As mentioned in the post, women's Asian Cup is on during that time with 6 games booked between March 6-10. So Round 1 we will be away. Now we can take out a few who we definately wont be playing.

Penrith - Commbank home too

Canterbury - Vegas

St. George Illawarra - Vegas

Newcastle - Vegas

North Queensland - Vegas

Gold Coast - Stadium used for Asian Cup

Wests Tigers - more likely Easter Monday, if we are to verse them away it would be at Commbank

 

So that leaves

Canberra

Manly

Dolphins

Brisbane

Cronulla

Melbourne

Souths

Sydney

Warriors

 

All away. Who do you think we get and who would you prefer to play? I reckon either Roosters or Broncos. I wouldn't mind versing Broncos straight up. Manly at Brooky maybe, something not right there. Do we want a big travel out of the way and maybe go Canberra or Warriors?

The bye is another option which would be weird as never experienced it. I don't know i would rather use a bye into the season to use the full effects of it. Any byes between Rounds 1-5 are useless i feel.

  • I would say Melbourne in Melbourne. I wouldn't mind Manly at brooky. I doubt we get a bye, first round, people eager to go to the footy and Eels usually draw big numbers. 

    • I agree that the reason we don't get the bye is we draw a good audience. Same with Magic Round we will never miss out on Magic Round.

      I doubt we get Melbourne in Melbourne again. That would be 3 years out of 4 having them in round 1.

      • We'll go up against them in 2027 for vegas

      • My only logic, I remember we had Warriors like a few years running a while back. 

  • My head is spinning out thinking about this blog lol 😆 😅  Ploppo come and help out

    • You must be desperate or Super is paying you more than me LOL

      This blog doesn't interest me much....every team is hard to beat and you cannot control the uncontrollable.

      Barbara said the same when talking about it at the wife swapping party she took me too. Basically said she didn't care who she got in the first round as long as it wasn't you.  LOL...... 

       

      • Thanks for the review of my barbara—she gave you zero stars and said even a scarecrow had more personality 

        • Well its not too many 99 year old's she gets to review .......turning up was a big effort....getting it up would have been a miracle!

  • You can bet your bottom. Dollar round 1 fri nite against the broncos at suncorp

    • We do have a healthy fan base up in Queensland, and probably draw a big number of game goers plus viewers on TV.
