2014 Roosters draw

[Guest]

Love Friday night games, so I'm a happy Chook!

Saturday suits me over Monday or Sunday games.. So I'm happy too!

You sure?? I've always recalled it as a 3pm kickoff.

Been 4pm kick off for a while

[horrie hastings]

Is that right ? only one Sunday arvo game?

I like my Sunday games in winter at the SFS but none scheduled in the first 20 rounds.With my work roster this year meant I missed no home games except Monday night ones.Whats the bet with all the Friday and Saturday night games next year my roster will change so I wont get to them, lol

Mate, I have put a serious dent in them this year and still have a least 4 months left at the moment.
My old roster meant that I used to work every second weekend and had a late night finish every second Friday, used to be able to make the Saturday games with this roster but meant I missed some Friday night games and quite a few Sunday games.My current roster Mon to Friday and only a late finish on the Monday meant I could make all the games even finishing at 6pm on Fridays I was only a 20 min walk to the SFS, so would only miss the Monday night games.

Couldn't be bothered going back any further and the score lines were depressing me (5 out of the last 6 were losses except for last year) but here are the times:

2008: 3.15pm
2009: 3.00pm
2010: 4.00pm
2011: 4.00pm
2012: 4.00pm
2013: 4.00pm (34 -10 win)

I'm not putting the other scores up.

As for the 2014 draw I think it's pretty good for the Roosters, not great in the sense we play six teams twice from the top 8 this season (but so do the Eels, Tigers, Manly and Brisbane) but who knows which teams will improve/worsen next season so it’s a bit of a lottery anyway, remember the Roosters ended 13th in 2012 – let’s not go there.

Origin is a nightmare for some teams and potentially we will lose four (Jennings, Maloney, Pearce and Cordner, Friend eventually) but we still have all the Bros.

Travel wise the trips are well dispersed and despite the hard run home (Warriors, Storm and Souths) that may be beneficial.

For mine I like the Friday and Saturday games, a good break between most games and no Monday night games (yet) is a bonus.

1 Sunday afternoon home game is a shocker IMO.
The West Tigers got 5 I think.

[bondi-boy]

Not a bad draw, last 3 games will be tough. One of the Roosters home games is at Mudgee, was supposed to be the Eels clash.

Baaah!

im loving this draw, I hate any sunday game, specially the 3pm game and we have only one sunday game which is 13 weeks in wooop

Sunday 3pm is the best time to watch footy.

[roosterproud]

I prefer 2pm sunday games as I know it wont be a nein televised on delay game with a shit full of adds and warren dribbling on about a brand new series on nein from 8.30 this Tuesday...blah blah blah blah

Agree...Sunday arvo the prime time.

Hate the night games.

Agree with the comments from Mickey, Vasco and JFC about the 300pm game on Sunday being the prime game for many spectators to go to the ground and watch a game of football on a sunny winter afternoon. Personally for me I love going to the game at 300pm on a Sunday arvo. I also have to rearrange my work schedule to get to the Friday night games but that can be done.

However if the boys have many Friday and Saturday night games especially early in the season is better as it will help players capacity to defend their title in IMO with cooler night games in the warmer months of early Autumn plus more 7 and 8 day turnarounds.

Playing more often on Friday night is a good opportunity for the club to recruit new fans e.g. the untapped Asian demographic in Sydney from having more (free-to-air) TV exposure.

So pleased there is a game in Brisbane next year. Pitty there's no game on the GC.
