Agree about the narrative.
Don’t think the draw is quite as bad as they say though… would much rather play Top 8 teams like Bulldogs, Manly, Knights twice rather than say the Broncos. Even the Dolphins/Raiders are worse for us.

3 5-day turnarounds is tough.
This would be better if it actually accounted for home games not at home though - we have 10 true home games, not 12
Wonder if that is factored into travel distances too?
Kind of ruins the whole thing to not get that right, especially since almost every team is involved in magic round.
I take back what I said about Burgo, he'd have got that right

Yeah cant really complain about travel when we’ve elected to put a game in perth. Plus noones complaining about vegas.
5 day turn arounds is a joke. Theres enough teams and games to reduce 5 day turn arounds or get rid of completely. NRL still letting tv dictate the draw with no regard for the players

Outside of the 5 day turn arounds Our draw is fine, it really ticks me off that they do have the 5 day turn arounds, it is the biggest disadvantage as recovery time makes a big difference to performance. For all of the top 8 talk, we don't know who will be in the top 8 next year and you want to play teams like the storm a couple of times. Rabbits, Broncos could easily end up being top 8 again and not a team like the knights.
Yeah it butts right up against a minimum fair sort of recovery time with very little time to do any decent field prep.
Fixturing would be very complicated with all the many many variables and factors but 5 days turn arounds or more than 2 day difference in break between opposing sides would ideally both be rubbed out.

May as well get chad Townsend to do our socials
I read the article title and thought it was about our chances of getting a Thursday or Friday night game in the last round of the competition!

Why does Chad Townsend always just make everything worse then it already is

Should be no reason why they couldn’t get rid of them with proper planning
Thought ours with Trump was better than we normally do.

Something I don't get, we have 12 home games a year no?
One's gone to perth, and we have 10 at home, so where's the 12th?
