Manly Sea Eagles
Teams they play twice: Wests Tigers, Warriors, Rabbitohs, Knights, Dragons, Raiders, Titans, Eels, Storm.
Teams they play once: Roosters, Bulldogs, Broncos, Sharks, Panthers, Cowboys.
Day-by-day breakdown: Thursday - Two, Friday - Four, Saturday - Thirteen, Sunday – Five.
Five-day turnarounds: 1 (Rd 11).
Kick-off: Des Hasler's second stint in charge of Manly begins with two matches in the opening four rounds at Lottoland plus one 'home' game in New Zealand. The new coach has a chance to make an early impression on the club's disgruntled fan base, although all three of those matches are against 2018 playoff sides.
Toughest stretch: Rounds 2-6. The second Des Hasler era gets underway with a fairly even season draw that features the tougher games and away trips fairly well spread out. It's arguably trickiest in the early stages: they host premiers the Roosters in round two before travelling to Christchurch to play the Warriors followed by a home game against the Rabbitohs before heading up the M1 to face a Knights side that bested them twice in 2018, then heading in the other direction to meet the Dragons in Wollongong in round six
And another thing: In round three the Sea Eagles take a home game to Christchurch for a second straight year. The move ended well for the Warriors last year as they romped to a big win in the two teams' only meeting. Manly face the Warriors in New Zealand twice in 2019 with a Warriors home game at Mt Smart Stadium in round 21 but Manly have had a happier time there, winning their past four.
