Do you realise that Parramatta meets Easts again in round six? That's the same two teams just four weeks apart. Yet we only get to play Penriff for the first time in round 25.
The RL fans are being screwed by TV scheduling. The NRL should be ashamed of itself, foregoing a fair competition for all clubs in favour of Brisbane and agreeing to the wishes of others. For example, it allows the Cowboys to play their home matches on a Saturday night (yes, I know why), yet knocks back other clubs' request to play on a Sunday afternoon. It is a disgrace that all clubs don't play each other once in the first 15 rounds. Is that too sensible for the NRL to understand?
I know that from round 16 to 26 not all clubs would get to play each other twice, and accept this. But is it not the NRL's role to administer a 'fair' competition?
