Why are the NRL pushing that fixture so hard?Storm last round, didn't see that coming.
I don't like us going two consecutive byes over origin.. the dream byes over origin is game 1 and 3... not sure which team got that this year, but it's been storm the last few years.People like to play the victim a bit. The draw is fine. Byes fall nicely for us yet again
I think the thought process is NRL blocking the game into 3 periods... start of the year, origin and run to the finals.No issue with the draw from me but I'll never understand the logic of teams playing each other twice within a minimal amount of rounds.
Panthers games round 9 is away game2 home Sunday game at 2pm and the Magic round vs Panthers at 4pm. 3 sunday games at Suncorp?!?!
Still dumb that we can't get the prime 4pm spot for a home game though.
I'm just happy we haven't had an early season bye yet. Having a bye in rounds 1-5 would really suck.I don't like us going two consecutive byes over origin.. the dream byes over origin is game 1 and 3... not sure which team got that this year, but it's been storm the last few years.
I don't mind our byes this year though.
First bye being game 1 fucked us last year, because it was 12 games straight after a shortened pre-season... we looked completely busted by the time we got to it... but having a full preseason this year and game 1 being a week earlier means 11 straight this year and might be more manageable.
I like the Rd 20 bye post origin... creates a reset after origin to focus on the run into the final.
I haven't liked our late year byes in recent years, because if the team is good enough you can potentially rest players creating an additional bye... back end of 2023 we had a bye in like Rd 25 and then rested everyone in Rd 27... I think it can become disruptive... but a Rd 20 bye looks pretty good with Origin finished by Rd 19
Anyone know if there is a breakdown of turn around times for teams any where yet?
Havent you headTigers with 13 Sunday games, Titans with 10. Is the NRL actively trying to destroy Sunday arvo footy?
**** the Sunday games. These players cant play during the day so the less they see of day games the better. Id rather play nights every week and win then play sunday day games and get flogged.2 home Sunday game at 2pm and the Magic round vs Panthers at 4pm. 3 sunday games at Suncorp?!?!

Yeah I've got enough bad juju from day games now. I once got excited for them, but now it is just dread.**** the Sunday games. These players cant play during the day so the less they see of day games the better. Id rather play nights every week and win then play sunday day games and get flogged.
They obviously do it to break us on the eve of the finals.Why are the NRL pushing that fixture so hard?
Third year in a row they've done it and on a fucking Thursday again.
Stop trying to manufacture the storm rivalry into something... they have better rivalries with other teams (manly, sharks, wahs, rorters, panthers), but nah let's keep pushing this one because Bellamy, Qld players and broncos winning a game in 2006.
Storm don't even have that many Qld reps anymore

Force my beloved Mother to come to the game with me knowing her she will say Kate I am not a broncos supporter. I can't smuggle Rosie in even though we do live in Toowoomba. I just have to select my 4 games for next year. I know I want to see Broncos vs Tigers and rub it in my mum's face when we winSunday February 16 - Broncos vs TItans @ Toowoomba Sports Ground 3:30PM
