I've got 13 wins. May just sneak into the 8.
2023 NRL Draw
- Thread starter ManlyArmy
- Start date
40 nil
It's only a game ...
In 2022, we had a couple of tough matches (Panthers & Roosters) to start the season, but overall, we had the easiest draw with the least amount of games against top four & top eight sides. If a team is be truly competitive, it has to be able to win against all comers, regardless of the draw.

I think 14 wins was needed last year.
I’d love us to have a successful year and make the 8, but much will depend on injuries.
I expect Tom to break down again and our forward stocks aren’t strong to start with , so for me about 10th / 11th ( again ).

As long as Tommy stays healthy for at least the first half of the season, we should have enough brownie points in the bank for us to scrape into the 8 somewhere.
That’s an extremely big IF.
We all love Tommy but let’s face it he’s a walking time bomb.
Yeah, he's just about had every part of his body patched up in some way. Hoping that the patched up parts hold up well for Tommy to have another stellar year like 2021.
Yes the draw is pretty tough. However, the multiple games against 2022 top eight opposition, will either steel us for a finals run, or take that opportunity away by mid-season. My prediction is top six by the end of 2023, and six or seven wins out of thirteen from the top eight teams.

I'm hoping they're not in the running
Let’s be a little positive , maybe we can jag 2/7, or even 3/7.
But I agree it’s a harsh draw.

We play the Knights in Mudgee in round three. I have been to the two previous matches there which resulted in huge wins, so Glen Willow is a happy hunting ground. I've just booked my accommodation in Mudgee and will again make it a three-day holiday. My advice if you are thinking of going is to act now to secure accommodation as the Mudgee landlords jack up their prices when the RL comes to town.

I think it's a pretty good Draw although i would prefer at least 3-4 rounds before they bye as it's enough game time for staff to assess the teams peformance and adaption to the new Coaching.
A tough draw can really harden a side if they have all the right pieces in place, which i'm not quite sure we have.
1 Hard nose forward and an elite strike centre and we are there.

That was going to be my only chance to get to a game too. Boo.
