First five rounds of draw released

[SDK]

Doesn't work that way mate. They will release the next few rounds a couple of weeks before kickoff to ensure they stay 8 to 10 weeks ahead.

Has this changed from recent years? Has been only about 5 weeks/rounds ahead. Never had 2 tranches of the draw released pre season before either.

NRL Schedule Change
15/12/2011 3:34:24 PM
A venue clash in Canberra in has caused a slight change to the round five schedule with the kickoff time for the Sharks match against the Panthers now set down for 5.30pm.

With the Canberra v Cowboys game moving to Monday and with a reshuffle of the game schedule, Sharks fans will need to make their way to Centrebet Stadium two hours earlier than the previously proposed start time of 7.30pm.

The changes sees the 2012 Heritage Round (Round 5) now feature a Super Saturday night in Sydney while Round 2 will showcase a Sunday night clash between the Storm and Rabbitohs.

On the Saturday night of the Panthers-Sharks round five match on Saturday, March 31, that clash will be followed by the Eels against the Sea Eagles at Parramatta Stadium and the Roosters against the Warriors at the SFS, both at 7:30pm.

The Raiders, who were originally scheduled to play the Cowboys at Canberra Stadium on March 31 at 5:30pm, will now move to 7:00pm Monday on April 2.

In Round 2, the Storm-Rabbitohs clash, originally set for 5:30pm Saturday, March 10, will now be played at 7:00pm on Sunday, March 11 as part of a Sunday triple-header, while the Gold Coast Titans-Canberra Raiders match on Saturday, March 10, now kick-off two hours earlier, at 4:30pm (5:30pm NSW time).

The changes have been made due to the result of venue availability in Melbourne in Round 2 and Canberra in Round 5.

The NRL apologises for any confusion caused by the changes which have proven inevitable given Stadium commitments.



Round 2 changes
March 10 Titans v Raiders - Skilled Park - Saturday, 4:30pm
March 11 Storm v Rabbitohs - AAMI Park - Sunday, 7:00pm

Round 5 changes
March 31 Panthers v Sharks - Centrebet Stadium - Saturday, 5:30pm

I might be wrong but I'm almost certain they will release a few more rounds a week or 2 before kickoff.
