Home:
2011: no game v Cronulla, St. George, Gold Coast
2012: no game v Cronulla, Cowboys, Souths
Away:
2011: no game v Canberra, Tigers, Warriors
2012: no game v Canberra, Tigers, Melbourne
Home & Away stats:
* 2nd year in a row no Cronulla home - bit odd
* 4th year in a row no Canberra away - totally bizarre
* 2nd year in a row no Tigers away - appalling no Leichhardt classic game and huge crowd misses out once again
* 2nd year in a row no home game in 1st rd or last rd
* Assuming rd 2 Tigers home is at Gosford - that means no Brookie home until rd 6 - why is something actually happening at Brookie???
* In 2012 no Melbourne away - that's a pretty fortunate one! (and perhaps not going to NZ in 2011 wasn't bad either in hindsight).
In Aug we play consecutive home games v Newc and Bris - logic says huge chance either Newc goes to Gosford or Bris goes to Suncorp - but that would mean that after July only 1 remaining Brookie game for rest of season! In 2011 we had 3 Brookie games in Aug.
Home games per month:
2011: Mar-1, Apr-2, May-1, Jun-2, July-1, Aug-3
(total 10 - plus May in Bris, July in Gosford)
2012: Mar-0?, Apr-2, May-2, June-2, July-3, Aug-1?
(total 10? - plus Mar in Gosford?, Aug in Gosford or Bris?)
Summary:
Assuming the Aug guess above is correct, I'd be very happy to have 5 Brookie home games in mid winter June-July (2 more than 2011), although it could mean a very odd situation of just 1 Brookie home game in Aug which would be a very tough run home (compared to 3 Brookie home games in Aug 2011).
But surely the oddest part of the draw is that the 2011 Premiers do not run onto their Brookie home ground until rd 6 - why?????
