That is a strange match up for round 1, maybe it’s because of Connor Watson

With due respect to Connor, I don't think he would have figured in round 1 scheduling discussions.

(P.s. are you related to Thirteen, Fourteen?)

I like the idea of playing a less than high profile in round one. Just get the win (hopefully) and build from there.

I think the knaughts will struggle next year. Connor held them together all year and Pearce leaving will impact any attack they had

I found it to be a lacklustre round overall. I like our game , but the rest of the round feels meh .

Replacing the Shaun Kenny Dowall cup no doubt ?

NRL have done a really bad job over the past few years with the Round 1 draw.

I'm sure they're looking at medium term engagement numbers over the course of the season and see a peak in terms of Round 1 viewership and turn out regardless of who's playing knowing they can then bank on the big games to draw crowds and viership later in the season but they're pissing off a lot of their loyal customers and early adopters which long term can have devastating effects.

Releasing all pre-season games on Kayo and Fox for the first time ever was such a good step in the right direction.

The Round 1 draw sadly undoes a lot of that excitement and anticipation.

Yes, I am

It’s a great time to play Newcastle. Their halves will be unfamiliar at best !
