2017 Harold Matts

NSWRL have released the draw. The full draw is here at

http://www.nswrl.com.au/content/dam/nswrl/documents/20161103 Harold Matthews 2017 Version 1.6.pdf

Dogs have got 1 Parra, 2 Illawarra, 3 Wests. 4 Penrith, 5 Central Coast, 6 Balmain, 7 Canberra, 8 Norths and 9 St George

 

Tough first two weeks.

 

Similar to the SG Ball, We should beat wests, central coast, norths and st George. Parra and Penrith always tough. We did beat Parra in a trial but that was just a grading hit out. I think We play Penrith this weekend so that should give us a good idea of where we are at.
