SYDNEY ROOSTERS v WESTS TIGERS

[King Salvo]

Exactly. Draw is a farce. How many teams play Melb twice a year aswell? Seems like we’ve played them 3 times a year minimum for the last decade.

If they stick with the current format it will look like the following when more teams are added

18 teams play each other once and only 7 teams twice
20 teams play each other once and only 5 teams twice

You can imagine when 20 teams who the Roosters will play twice - Storm/ Broncos/Souths/Parramatta - and either Dragons or Penrith

Currently a 204 game regular season with 17 teams so with more teams it will be more games so broadcast rights revenue should increase and sponsorship revenue and opportunities as well - i.e naming rights of the conferences and divisions for an example.

Surely when new teams are added they will have conferences when 18 teams and conferences with divisions when 20 teams

• 18 teams - 2 conferences of 9 teams - play teams in your conference twice and other conference once - 25 rounds - 250 game regular season - Top 4 in each conference qualify for finals - top 5 if a 10 team finals series.

• 20 teams - 2 conferences each with 2 divisions of 5 teams - play all teams once and teams in your division twice - 23 rounds - 230 game regular season - Top 2 in each division qualify for finals ( 8 teams) - if 10 team final series - 3rd placed teams play off for the last 2 finals places.

Geez! When i looked at our lineup the only way we can possibly lose is if we deliberately throw the game. Just too much talent to lose. This is a must win match.
