NRL draw to be released on Wed 4 Dec

[Scooter]

The NRL draw will apparently be released at noon on Wednesday 4 December.

[glennb]

The NRL need to make an announcement to announce when the draw will be announced. It was meant to be this week, but the NRL stuff it up again. If the did not panda to the media and did their job like a real administration things like this would not happen.

5 of the last 7 away, tough draw

[blazza18]

The NRL do a really poor job with the draw.

How do we not play in NZ ? They're one of our bigger rivals yet NZ miss out on it this year ?

Don't get Souths at home which is a bummer. The game always sells well.

The run home is difficult with all the travel.

We only get 4 FTA games while the Tigers get 11 ? Disgrace really.

[Inglis#3]

The most infuriating aspect of the draw is the Broncos being given 10 straight Friday night games to start the season. For a competition that constantly claims it's all about fairness, this doesn't seem very fair to me.

Anyway, on the Storm's individual fixtures the start of the season seems fine, I've got no problems with it but they've made the run towards the finals as difficult as possible for us. Not what we needed seeing as the Big Three and most likely Hoffy will be coming out of another grueling Origin campaign.

Could someone please confirm for me that we'll only be involuntarily forced into playing without the Origin boys once next year rather than the two games we had to play without their services this season?

Both Dragons games on a Monday and not playing tje broncos til the last round....on a Thursday.

What a lima lima lima duck joke.

The final rounds of the season aren't scheduled until later in 2014. It won't be a Thursday. You can pretty much lock in Friday, though.

What is FTA?.

Free To Air. Unless you are being facetious due to the fact that we so rarely get them that we may not know the meaning, in which case... Ha, I get it.

cracking way to start the year

Arch nemesis' at ten paces in God's country
Games against Melbourne are my personal favorite
So much on the line up tempo bash and bargeathon

Rd 2 game is going to be a huge one for Storm against panthers. Cam Smith breaking Matt Geyers club games record and Billy`s 250th. I will definitely be making the trek over from sadelaide for this game.
