Ignoring all the Friday games, I actually like the draw a lot!

The first 3 home games are crackers, we only play the nuffies once, have 4 home games out of the last 5, and we finish at home with what could be a top of the ladder dispute against the dogs.

 

[ningnangnong]

I'll probably make my annual trip up when we play the Cowboys. :rockon:

 

[Charmamba]

well, being that I work friday nights at the moment it's another season with **** all league :( There are only 4 games i'll get to see in 2013.

 

[Big Pete]

So at Suncorp we get...

Manly
Melbourne
North Queensland
South Sydney
Gold Coast
Warriors
West Tigers
Cronulla
St. George Illawarra
Parramatta
Newcastle
Canterbury-Bankstown

Really satisfied with that list, we received all our top drawing sides in fixtures where everyone should be on board. It'd be perfect if we could have got a home game against the Chooks (we've only played them once up here since 05) but otherwise I'm really content with what we got.

3 mondays in a row? lame

 

[ningnangnong]

We play the Warriors twice in the same month... genius draw crafting skills.

 

[Big Pete]

GC & Newcastle games are also pretty close to one another.

Definitely another bug bear, you should play every team once before you start doubling up games.

Is it actually possible to have it setup that way? I'm no statistician :P
Anyone here with a maths brain know if that's technically possible with 16 teams?

 

[Big Pete]

Even if it's off by a week or so it'd be more logical than the current system.

I live for the day when we have enough teams where the teams could play each other once and that would be the end of the regular season.

 

[Kimlo]

Do you mean more teams, say 20 with a 20 round season?
Don't know if that'll happen in the next decade.

I personally like a longer season, more games to watch!

 

[Big Pete]

Yep, but hope it happens so then League can truly give the representative season the time it needs to shine.

 

[Mister Wright]

Which round/s will we be without our origin players?

 

[Son Edo]

Manly and Melbourne in the first 4 rounds with no Origin to stuff it up.

 

[Foordy]

whats with the additional bye thats been added next season?

 

[user_nat]

whats with the additional bye thats been added next season?

Same as this year. Anzac test, U20s Origin and City/Country on a standalone weekend.

 

[Big Pete]

What did everyone make of that weekend?

Personally, I liked it, was good to get a bit of a breather and give the Test match the attention it deserved. Would love it if we gave Origin the same treatment.

Agreed. Definitely would like to see that happen...

And an elimination style comp could be played during those weekends. It could feature NSW cup and Qcup teams, and possibly even NRL teams playing their reserves...
