Full Rooster Draw (AI likes us)

[caz]

the logistics might be good but it's not a soft draw when you look at who we've drawn to play twice - both gf-ists and both prelim losers. three of those teams will probably be the top 3 favourites. you'd expect to be playing only 2 in a bad year.
we play only 3 of the bottom 8 teams twice and one of those is souths who aren't a bottom 8 team. nothing to worry about but it's not a soft draw

Not jumping up down about the draw this year. Play Riff, Storm.and Broncos twice. Play a few of the cellar dwellers once. Two byes leading into SOO will be handy. If we don't make the top 4 it's not caz of the draw. It'll be caz we dropped games we shouldn't have. I've forgotten how many we lost this year after leading at the 60min mark. Hopefully, DCE can help close these ones out.

I’m hoping too but sadly our errors are what is losing games not a lack of elite players. Even with our best players how do we expect to win with errors in the double figures? Our roster has changed many times but not the error rate. Top 4 is unlikely unless we are much more disciplined.

Yes, certainly a tough draw in my opinion as well, be difficult for us to maintain week on ability for the entire extended season, let alone the timed run home.

Good to see the NRL maintaining the Bronco's WFH as has been longstanding.

It’s the AI that does the draw. All its fault apparently

Ah yes, ye olde "the computer did it" excuse.

Lol yes. It seems to have a glitch in the so called ‘unbiased’ programming always having us playing the vermin in the final round every single year.

We talk about first week bye, byes at SOO time - is a bye in the last round an advantage.? I know it’s a guarantee 2 points but no chance for for and against points. With the concussion protocols is a last round bye now seen as being valuable?

Late season byes are gold, not just final round.

5/12/18 is a poor result for us. Late in the season players are busted, and a week off for everyone is to die for.

Last year we lost to the Titans, Souths, Parra and Tigers all teams we were expected to beat.

Hopefully the coach does a better job this year of preparing the team for games we are expected to Win.
We need to start well and Win the early games, another thing the coach has never been able to achieve.

Let’s sack the bastard!

I just want early and I know being greedy the late season wins. Wins at the start are gold in terms of confidence but potentially showing other teams who we are. Hopefully no more of the other teams attitude towards us of - if we just hang in there they will eventually implode. As mentioned elsewhere hopefully DCE gives us that resolve we have been missing.

[horrie hastings]

At least there is a decent gap where we don't play the same team twice in a short period like this year where we faced both Brisbane and Penrith twice in the first seven weeks.
