Farmduck Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 https://www.nrl.com/draw/?competition=111&season=2021 Here is a list of who each team plays twice: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-draw-2021-who-every-team-plays-twice-rugby-league-news/news-story/4eadf975dd8e7c89319fc530c5d1897c Storm get a tough draw. They play 6 of this year's top 8 twice. Broncos also get a "tough" draw. Only 14 of their games are on free-to-air prime-time Thursday and Friday night slots. By comparison, Wests Tigers get 2.

DavidM Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This is the time of year when I see the draw and get bemused about how it all works . Draws should end up a level playing field , but by definition of not playing everyone twice it’s not . I’m sure there’s meant to be logic behind it somewhere , beyond me though . How do they work out who you play twice , and at times you don’t play a team for 18 months then play another twice in a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That's the thing with having 16 teams in the division, to play everyone home and away that'd be 30 league games a season, considered too many.

They finish bottom in 2020 and yet the teams they play twice in 2021 are 8 of this years top 9 plus the Cowboys. The teams they play once next year are this years 10 to 15 placed teams plus the Raiders. I know the NRL is pretty fluid in quality and strength but they have been handed a really tough draw and I don't know how it is determined (I am not a Broncos fan, just using the first team on this page as an example NRL draw 2021: Everything you need to know for your team - NRL) "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic?" — Sam Harris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
