Just looking quickly

Positives
- Only playing Melbourne, Raiders and Roosters once
- One five day turn around
- Only 2 games out of Sydney in last half

Negatives
- No Blemore game
- Playing Parra twice in the first 6 weeks (I hate playing teams twice in a short period)
- Round 25 away to Newcastle could be tough if we need a win.
Cowboys twice in first 7 rounds also and they will be out to make a statement next year based on the terrible season they just had.

Only playing roosters, raiders and storm once is a big plus though.

Rounds 7-12 could make or break our season.

The travel between those games in massive we only play in Sydney once and the rest are all plane trips!

Round 10 vs Manly is at Belmore they have made a type error if you read the release of draw

Only 9 games on channel nine won't help us replacing KIA

Yeah I'm pretty it's a decent amount too plus it boosts the crowd average but still losing a home game stings when every win counts.
I can’t stand the fact of losing a home game
The money doesn’t mean anything does it deep down
That is 2 years of us losing a game for magic round,nrl should have had different teams taking home games up there
No valid excuses not to rotate,
I don’t mind spending descent money for myself and the family on membership but want to go watch as many games as possible in Sydney

I think we actually asked to have a home game there. I agree with you that the money means nothing when it decreases your chances of winning.

I totally agree it does make it more difficult to win away from home,
It baffles me to think the club would request to move a home game
Our hierarchy should be thinking of the very passionate 20,000 members and others who fork out money to see the team play
We have home games in Perth and Brisbane
A bit disappointing from a fan point of view

for once im pretty happy with that draw. Its nice not to have to play melbourne in the first few rounds like we have every other year. I think that first block of 8 games could set our season up if we win 5-6. Winnable games from what i see there

A lot of away games to finish the season (2 home games in last 8) is tough. Imperative we get off to a good start in 2020

You can be out to make a statement but you still have to turn up, I think we will have revenge in mind for the last time when they were gifted that win.

Round 1: versing Parra... I look forward to this game! My favourite bulldogs game for 2019 was round 23, parra v bulldogs at BankWest Stadium! I was at this game and it had it all with the final score bulldogs 12 - Parra 6 it was a top game in a great Atmosphere and was a nail biter to the very end. I am so looking forward to their next match up!
