http://www.nrl.com/draw/telstrapremiership/draw/tabid/11180/default.aspx Apparently reduced 5 day turn-arounds also which helps a lot. Cowboys first four games all still in QLD which I'm quite happy with.
I just don't get this 6pm kickoff. How do they expect people to get to some of these venues? Dead set impossible.
Just perusing the early markets for next year. Reckon Easts, Souths and the Warriors are all undervalued. That kind of makes sense given their records last year. I feel like Brisbane and Nth QLD are slightly overvalued. Canberra are hugely overvalued though, again due to 2016. Their draw is much, much harder this year. They've got the Cows, Sharks, Broncos, Storm and Panthers all twice; so every top 6 team from last year. They do get a bit of a cake run around Origin time with two byes and 4 home games in the space of 6 weeks (which is absurd) but 3 of those home games will be against a full strength Cowboys, Brisbane and Melbourne so it's not overly easy. And they end the year with 4 out of 6 games away, having to go to Souths, Cronulla, NZ, and Melbourne. $10 is terrible value imo. Easts at $13 and Souths at $17 are much better propositions.
I don't know about that. I really like the balance and make up of their side. Will come down to experience especially in the halves but Moylan and Wallace will compensate for that to some degree.
