That has got to be the worst fixture i've ever seen. We have a great home run early on in the season though. Manly round 1 is exciting

[Chip]

Bring it on, I say.

[absentee]

Only four home games in the second half of the season.  Looks like we get the same two byes prior to Origin 1 and 2, though so that's good.  The ANZAC Day game against the Warriors is on again which I'm really looking forward to already.  I'm glad that the NRL is allowing it to become a tradition.

Hopefully the Manly game is on a Friday night - that would be a great way to kick off the season.

[glennb]

It will not be a Friday night game.  Will not get any Friday night home games early in the season, if at all.

[Freeze]

Here's a thought, with the last two games away, David stagger avoids having to present the Minor Premership Trouphy  to us at AAMI Park. Where of course we would give him a rousing welcome - NOT 

And yes I would NOT put it past him doing that.

[MENACING*STORM]

Unfortunately the Storm v SeaEagles match won't be on a Friday night.  The Rebels will be playing the Sharks on March 11th.

Looking forward to some road trips to Townsville and Perth

I cant believe some of the comments about how the draw favours Storm.....
I can not see how it does when I would think you would be better to have home games
at the end of the season not the start.... have a read of some of the comments posted.

It is what it is and there's nothing we can do about it.

If I still lived in Melbourne I'd be pissed though - 4 home games in half a season would suck (although not as badly as my current average of getting to 2 games all year. )

[bula]

Yep I think its a disadvantage, if anything.
Its a new team and will take some time to get things together.
A really tough finish with Manly at Brookie, the Dragons and Roosters.
Oh well, if we're good enough we'll be there.

[luvin.the.storm]

Yeah get us realy sucked into the season then BANG no home games for over a month, nearly killed me this year going without footy for just a month..
Looks like FoxSports will be my best friend for the 2nd half of the year 

[Surandy]

Looks like FoxSports will be my best friend for the 2nd half of the year 

That suits me fine as I won't have foxtel for the early part of 2011.

[The Eagle]
