Well, much tougher start to the season. Cows and then the sharks.

[-GD-]

Perfect

[Bay53]

Clearly a game between the premiers and 3rd from last season, following on from a classic final is not something channel 9 viewers would be interested in.

[zim]

My bulldog's mate explained our lack of channel nine games:
"Its Shannon Boyd, they cant show his face to children before 9pm."

Makes perfect sense now.

[-TW-]

Good time slot, will still be a pleasant evening temp at that stage

[Matt]

Looks like they want last yrs top 4 to beat up on each other early in the year to give others a chance.

[Sid]

Can't wait to see what 3 games made it onto FTA instead of the Premiers taking on the team who finished 2nd! They should be crackers!!

[Turt]

Aside from it not being a FTA game, I think it'll be a good timeslot.
Should cool down to a pleasant temp by that time.

Premiers vs 2nd don't sell us short a spot it was a good season.

[-TW-]

Technically 3rd..

[simo]

We lost to the team that lost the gf. Technically 4th

[Notaroboticfish]

We drew with the Knights. Technically equal last.

[Notaroboticfish]

Apparently in Round 2 there is going to be the blockbuster on Thursday night you were all eagerly anticipating. Bulldogs vs Roosters

Don't forget Friday night Broncos vs whoever.

NRL draw: Canberra Raiders to get chance for Sharks revenge in round two after Viking Clap mock

The Canberra Raiders will get a chance to test their premiership credentials in the opening two weeks of the season when they play the last two NRL champions in a brutal start to their campaign.

But despite finishing second in the 2016 season and playing two of the top-rated teams, the Raiders will be snubbed from free-to-air coverage with their first two rounds to be played on Saturday nights.

Round one (March 4): North Queensland Cowboys v Canberra Raiders at Townsville.
Round two (March 11): Canberra Raiders v Cronulla Sharks at Canberra Stadium.

Great to see the NRL produce a video showing highlighted matches for the 2017 draw at the press conference. None of which involved the Raiders. Twats.

[Sid]

Just watched the draw released live by Todd Greenberg
He literally didn't mention Raiders once. Not once. Bryce Cartwright and Moylan were mentioned more times. round 1 between Broncos Vs sharks about half a dozen times

[hrundi89]

There was a brief moment of the Viking Clap in the video.

As much as I have been skeptical about some people's obsession on the issue in the past after the season we had last year I would expect a bit more.

[-TW-]

Trip to Melbourne, very nice

Bathurst trip again

[Sid]

Tough draw. I think we play everyone from last years top 6 twice?

At first glance, it's a lot tougher than last year. Who the hell knows how things will pan out over the course of the season, though.

[sms316]

I make that to be three FTA games at a glance. Good value.

[hrundi89]

5 FTA games.

Wait...so are 9 telecasting the 6pm game?

[Guy Incognito]

Maybe he was scared if he mentioned us someone would question him about our section in the middle of the season with only 1 home game in a 7 week period.

[Botman]

Yep, the chickens of last years draw has come home to roost a little bit
No part of that draw I can see that you could say right now "we can make a huge run here"

But we're an excellent team, as long as we do our job most teams,even the good ones can't hang with us at our best

[Green_Hammock]

I knew they were waiting for us to have a really good season before giving us 3 fta games instead of 2!

[hrundi89]

Well there you go. 3 in 20 rounds.

Dragons, Tigers and Broncos. At least we should win at least 2 of those.

Broncos one is off a 5 day turnaround away. I've written off that match as a loss

I think rounds 5-14 is our best bet of getting a roll on IMO.

easily our best streak opportunity. But as others have said, we are now a team that most other teams should be penciling in as a tough one
