MON NIGHT DISGRACE

[marga]

7, SEVEN, yes. Seven Monday nights.

Well **** me drunk, we are now the Monday night specialists

Saves me lots of money in 2016.

I HATE Monday night footy (and golden point for premiership rounds - but that's another thread), however... I'm happy when we beat the opposition, regardless of what day of the week it is.

I think that may be my ton. Slowest on record.

At least you get a cheaper Broncos game next year

True. I've booked that one.

It's a good thing that the 2 Thursday night games break up the 7 Monday night games.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

@marga is probably the best travelling supporter we have, but seriously when looking at that draw we will have very little away support in season 2016.

If you throw in the Thursday's as well it's fast become the game I said it would be a few years ago , " virtual crowds" , don't laugh I bet we start to see it within 5 years.

It will be called " crowd filling"

Monday night football is a weekend wasted....
Fark Thursday.... Stupid idea.....

 

[Real Deal]

I hate monday night games. But living in the country, the are the only games i can attend. That is the only upside for me at least.

It was fun while it lasted @Mark from Brisbane. Can't believe the NRL can think this is a fair draw. There will be lots of supporters cheering from home in 2016. Sad really.

I wonder if we were "incentivised" to cop this much Monday night footy...

The donkeys are immune to Monday nights and foxtel which is owned by the same owner News Filth ensures that the ponies are looked after in the draw.

The big scandal is that four of our biggest derbies, Souffs Parra, Dragons and Sharks are on either Thursday or Monday night. Each of those clubs could draw a big crowd at Brooky if it were a Sunday.

The 5 day turnarounds are a concern as the NRL have done little to ensure player health.

My observation of the draw is that our one teams that we play is quite reasonable, The bogey machine absolutely cleaned up with their draw and rightly the top teams from last year have it tougher.

I am excited that we have a game in Perth and Brisbane and I look forward to see what travel arrangements the club can offer for the fans.

If not we have been royally shafted !!

Who knows might be part of ZtH's " grand plan", get rid of the members so they aren't such a pain in the arse!

I did packages for the fans for years, worked well and would have been better if the Sea Eagles would have endorsed them.

Trouble is they wanted a fortune to do this which would have made the packages unsaleable, so I just did them by word of mouth.

Ill be interested to see what they do.

It's pretty dissapointing when a third of our games are on Monday night.

We had a similar draw last year if i recall - so must be a request from Manly to play Monday nights.

It somewhat lessons my excitement for next year

Probably was the same yr the club turned a profit..

 

[manlyfan76]

Well im even more disillusioned with the NRL. Its a joke to havento watch every 1/3 games on a Monday night.

 

[Nordburg]

I'm guessing the propaganda that was being peddled out about how members numbers going through the roof will quiet down a bit now after the draw was released.Not much chance of reaching 15000 now

Who won that game ????

 

[SeaEagle9413]

Who won that game ????

Oh whoops I was referring to this statistic in the article:

"The two years we had seven Monday night games were the two years we were in the grand final."
