    Based on last year's form:

    • No real hard stretches that scare me
    • Plenty of home games
    • Pretty friendly re interstate travel
    • Play the teams 1 & 2 twice however only have teams 3 & 4 once

    Better than what we usually get given

  • Whilst it isn't a terrible draw I don't think it is as easy as people think. The eels play 13 games against top  8 teams from this year,  no other club plays more, we have tough away games in the first 4 rounds against the storm and manly plus a home game against arch rivals the dogs who are on the cusp of signing ben hunt. We also have a tough run at the back end of the season. 

    I rate it 7 out of 10

    • Lot of talk about Eels playing 13 games against top 8 teams of this year. Let's be honest, of the top 8 teams of this year, Panthers/Storm/Roosters were miles ahead. The other 5 were average at best (lucky even) and the Roosters will be interesting given how many players have left or still injured for a good half of the season. 

  • 7/10

  • The first month is tough. Having back to back home games only twice is tough also.

"Yeah true. Lee Hangipitalis was on SEN saying they can't do it, then brought up why just R360 not Union or AFL even? 
Thats why I was doubtful, but they've done it and I'm all for it. More likely players will try to sue the NRL to let them in but as…"

"Restraint of trade and non-compete are legal in Australia. They're often flimsy and super hard (sometimes impossible) to legally enforce.
But this idea that restraint of trade clauses are illegal in Australia aren't correct. Basically every employer…"
