Manly Warringah Sea Eagles

Play twice: Bulldogs, Sharks, Rabbitohs, Warriors, Eels, Knights, Cowboys, Raiders, Panthers. Play once: Wests Tigers, Roosters, Broncos, Titans, Dragons, Storm.

Starting point: Manly begin their season under new coach Trent Barrett at home against the Bulldogs in a blockbuster Friday night clash at Brookvale Oval. They have a 10-day turnaround for a meeting with the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval, before a tricky string of matches against the Roosters (away), Rabbitohs (home) and Warriors (away).
 
Tough run: Between Rounds 9-11, Manly take on the reigning premiers North Queensland, travel to Suncorp Stadium for a clash with 2015 grand finalists Brisbane, before taking on the Sharks at Shark Park. It is a three-game streak that could prove critical for the Northern Beaches club at the backend of the year. The Sea Eagles are also slated for seven Monday night games in the opening 20 rounds.

Show-stoppers: There is plenty of intrigue in the opening round Friday night blockbuster against the Bulldogs with a new-look Manly outfit hosting former coach Des Hasler at Brookvale. There will also be plenty of spice in the Round 7 clash with the Eels with plenty of player movements in the offseason. Kieran Foran is the high profile mover, but there is also Darcy Lussick, Clint Gutherson and James Hasson coming up against their former club.

Origin impact: (Byes: Rd 12, Rd 18.) Manly have a pretty decent bye schedule, the only game they play during the Origin period is in Round 15 against the Titans, meaning Nate Myles is likely to miss a match against his former club, while Daly Cherry-Evans may be spared from travelling to the club he famously back-flipped on

Lack of Sunday games confirms my decision not to renew membership this year.
Rugby League is a weekend sport, get all the games back to Friday night, Saturday/Saturday night and Sunday.....the way it should be!!!
Yep. Personally, Sat night suit me best, so at this stage I can get to one game this year.
 
A Monday to Thursday roster is BS though would love to go back to Friday to Sunday.
There are some short turn arounds and travel in that draw.Rounds 4-7 will be tough on the team
 
One Sunday afternoon game in the first 21 rounds at Brookvale and seven Monday night games. Interesting. How did the Broncos fair re Friday night games?
 
I just checked Brisbane mainly Friday and Saturday nights with one Thursday night and Sunday afternoon Guess what no Monday night.
