[DVS Matt]

only play Warriors, Broncos, Eels, Raiders & Dragons once

 

[Dan]

We have a **** run home next year

 

[Jethro]

We have a S**t run home next year

Why is that?

 

[Matabele]

Outstanding - I'll be able to go to the Suncorp game vs Broncos again next year.

 

[Dan]

Outstanding - I'll be able to go to the Suncorp game vs Broncos again next year.

I may join you for that one mate

 

[Dan]

Rooosters > Storm > Sharks > Titans

Titans will be stronger next year if Prince stays fit

Roosters will probably be up there again as will sharks and Storm!

 

[nita]

Booo no Canberra road trip 

 

[Fro]

I'm more interested in the end of the 2008 season personally

 

[Duff]

Yeah, we need to take it one game at a time.

 

[Jono]

Booo no Canberra road trip 

I agree. In addition, we have to go to Queensland 3 times!!

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

last 2 games at home though

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

I can't believe they released the draw in GF week

 

[Chip and Chase]

Are players selected for Australia and City / Country available to play Round 8 ?? I can't remember the protocol. If not then it's a bit rough having the GF replay without Australian Reps available. Also we have to front up to the Broncos with rep players backing up that weekend.

On the flipside our SOO draw isn't too bad, not that the carnt Bellamy will pick any Manly players after we pull down his pants on Sunday.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

players selected won't be available to play for their teams

very bad scheduling again from the NRL

 

[eagle_predator]

I wonder whats with the early 2009 draw release ? Also i ticked off cause we wont get to smash the Peels twice.

 

[ssar]

Cool. Thanks for posting this!

I'll be lookin at possibly going to:

Round 4: April 3-6, Knights v Sea Eagles
(cuz I live in the Newcastle area)

Round 9: May 9-11, Broncos v Sea Eagles
or
Round 11: May 22-25, Titans v Sea Eagles
(never been to Lang Park/Titans stadium, & have friends & family in Brisbane)

Round 20: July 24-27, Sea Eagles v Knights
(especially if it is at Gosford stadium - went to the corresponding game there in 2007, was great)

Round 21: July 31-Aug 3, Wests Tigers v Sea Eagles
(IF it is at Leichardt, haven't been there for many years, gotta do so again soon)

And one or 2 home games @ Brookvale toward the end of the season, i.e. v Rabbitohs, Sharks, Titans or Qualifying finals (week 1 of the finals Sept 11-13).

Sea Eagles!
