EELS-EAGLES TO LAUNCH 2015 THERE was plenty of mail at the track from NRL officials (a couple still talk to me) who are in town for this afternoon’s Test match. The draw for 2015 was discussed at Moore Park HQ last week and it appears we won’t be getting a Roosters-Rabbitohs grand final replay for the premiership opener on a Thursday night. I’m told they are looking at playing Manly v Parramatta instead. Anthony Watmough, Will Hopoate and Darcy Lussick against their old Sea Eagles team mates, most likely at Parramatta Stadium.
They must be still looking at the NRL 2014 strategic plan that went wrong thx to those naughty boys from Penrith
Lets have the draw soon. I just hope that we get some good derbies at home cause seeing Brooky packed against a Sydney rival is fact. The AFL have listened to their fans and returned more games to the traditional Saturday arvo timeslot, wonder if the NRL will do the same. Sydney derbies where possible where possible should be played on Saturday or Sunday arvos. At Easter we should be playing all games at Homebush to cash in on the show crowds. I hope we get more home games at the back end of the season cause that hurt us last season.
Think a bigger crowd at one of the "really big stadiums" will be what happens for season opener. Why not Rabbits vs The Wanderers ? Toddy wont have a problem with that . . .
