The Draw - Get ready to be annoyed

[Darkone]

Due to our success,

we will be the new media broncos with Friday night games galore,

hopefully the first 6-8 rounds to avoid the radical summer being forecasted.

[Guest]

All I want is at least one SEQLD game. Please!

We will play Manly in Round 4 on Friday night in the grand final replay.

Round 1 - Rabbits v Easts at ANZ Thursday night
Round 4 - Easts v Manly at SFS Friday night (March 28th)
Round 9 - Easts v Wests at SFS Friday night
Round 11 - Bulldogs v Easts at ANZ Stadium, Friday 23 May
Round 13 - Storm v Easts at AAMI Park, Sunday 8 June

I'm looking forward to the draw.

WCC v Wigan - televised.
Foundation Cup - televised?

At least 12 home games, with the possibility teams like the Tigers and St George playing their home games at Allianz.
Hopefully this includes plenty of Afternoon/Twilight footy and minimal Monday/Saturday night in the dead of winter footy.

Plenty of games in local areas i.e. Parramatta, Penrith, Homebush, as well as having a game in NZ almost guaranteed.
Hopefully we play one or two games in SEQ.

2014 looks good.

I have heard the WCC will be televised on GEM, and I'm pretty sure the foundation cup last year was on Fox Sports.

I don't mind a few Saturday night games throughout the season, especially at 7:30. It's always good to spend a night out at the footy, which can be a pain in the arse to get to on Fridays and especially Mondays. The roosters always seem to put a lot of effort into making Saturday games enjoyable too.

However Sunday games are always great, especially the 2 o'clock games imo

This means that for the second time in two years, we will be without our origin players for the away match against the Dogs, as the first origin is on May 28.

Yes.

Why would any other team care when we play our WCC???

They are preparing to try and be the one playing in it the season after.

This is for us. Our celebration and reward for winning the comp in 2013.

I don't give a fark when others plan their trials. And I'm sure they don't give a fark when we play our WCC.

I agree with you Harry, with the exception that they'll pay close attention to how we play in the WCC game.
We are the team to knock off next year and everyone will be wondering how well our pre-season has prepared us for the year.

It's a great ground mate.

Shame the Titts fans/marketing have no idea how to make it feel like a home.

Soulless. And that comes from some of their own.

poor bastards will never know what the Turner stand felt like.

[Guest]

Lets hope there are a few games up North this year. No point in neglecting the fanbase up there.

Fact; Gods country is getting an Easts 2014 clash... The T weed is a waste of time.

[Guest]

So the 2014 Draw is out tomorrow. My mail is that we will have no Byes before Origin. That means three games without our Origin players. If this is true, and we'll know tomorrow I suppose, it seems pretty unfair. Teams with considerable Origin representation usually get two Byes before Origin, or at least one.

I suppose the NRL have got to keep it even somehow?

Morts at 7 and Sonny at 6 isn't too bad anyway.

Isn't Bronte the Rabbits beach?

With or without the gum-boots? baaaaaaah!
