2011 draw?

[redwhiteandbluester]

You're right, the suburban grounds are lovely - Brookvale is an exception though. I'd prefer to play the Merge at the G though - for the novelty of it, and play Wests at Leichhardt - both on Sunday arvos.

On another note, did you see that Warriors Under 20's side run around this season? A bloke called Shaun Johnson (played touch against him) runs their team around the paddock - all class for a youngster.

Yes Brookvale is a shithole and Manly fans always seem keen to affirm themselves as candidates for the most feral supporters in the comp (giving Souths a run for their money). 2010 was a nice year where that trip wasn't on the itinerary (same as Newcastle, another dump).

And also a game at Kogarah or Woolongong (we don't get enough St George away games because of Anzac Day games at SFS).

Wollongong is having a major upgrade at the moment,not sure whether even Saints will play there in 2011.

Love to seethe Roosters play the Tigers at Leichhardt Oval,it is the best suburban ground to watch football at because you are so close to the action.Ashame the facilities aren't up to scratch now but who cares.

Are we the home side next year (2011) for the ANZAC day clash? I'd love to see at least one traditional rivalry game at the SCG. Souths or the Dogs would be great.

Leichardt rocks. Their fans are pretty normal too. It feels like a family day at Leichardt.

From memory where the teams finish on the table in 2010 has no relevance on the draw in 2011.

I believe that all Clubs give the NRL a 'wish list' of teams they would prefer to play at home and the dates if it's an ANZAC Day clash etc.

Then these details are given to an outside source who feeds the details into a computer programme and from there the draw is compiled.

Clubs get some of what they want, but not all. And there's no use whinging to the NRL because they've outsourced the process and probably for good reason, so they aren't accused of bias towards certain clubs.

So our chances of getting games in Qld are higher if the GC and Broncs put us on their 'wish list' for home games.

The 2011 draw comes out in November from memory.

Personally, I would like to see us play all our home games at the SFS, as well as any others that other clubs want to bring to the SFS..

The SFS is our house..

Me too. I've been waiting years to play at Leichardt!

We have 11 home games at SFS. Is the 12th game being played in NZ or Gosford?

Partly true but where the teams finish determines who plays which teams once and which teams twice.

Do you reckon the Knights and Roosters will vs at Bluetongue again next year?

No, the club will not be playing at Bluetongue (thank God) in 2011.. The club has announced for the membership package that there will be 11 home games at the SFS and one in NZ (Christchurch) in 2011.
