5 day turn around has to go

[BULLDVGS]

Just saw a post on FB that talks about this. I'm paraphrasing and might have it slightly wrong, I've lost the post but...

12 of the last 14 games where teams play after a 5 day turn around, they lose. The 2 times teams have won was against teams on 5 days turn arounds.

That. Is. Fucked.

Agree

Typical incompetence from the crooks in the nrLOL

I remember reading something about the AFL having mandatory 6 day turnarounds. Not sure if that’s still a thing but it makes sense if you truly care about player welfare and the integrity of the competition. Teams like the Warriors could probably benefit from that too as they probably lose a day due to travel commitments

 

[enoughsaid]

Nothing to do with the NRL
NRL sets the draw
the broadcasters set the Tv games

Dumbest thing of all is it can so easily be amended by shuffling game days around ...as we have seen with our own schedule where we've played last game on a Sunday and first game on a Friday.

Just blatant ineptitude by NRLol affecting their teams they are supposed to be administering fairly and best practice.

Gambling focused fools.

Just one item of a list of many pieces of evidence that show that this is no longer a sport, it is a made for TV and gambling product.

Soon they will just accept no one attending games probably... bc crowds are just a poor third to gambling and tv.

Don’t forget TV has a say in game day allocations. Or as “no real leadership” refers to them, Broadcast Partners.

You are correct. Only variance is when Anzac Day falls late in the round like a Tuesday this year.

But it should be ultimately up to the nrlOL to protect its cattle in this televised betting product.

Agreed. I think the only way this is going to stop, is for the RLPA to get involved in game day allocations. What doesn’t help is teams like the Broncos getting a plethora of Thursday and Friday night games in Prime Time. Obviously they are a channel 9 favourite. Even in 2022 when they were wooden spooners in 2021 it didn’t change.

When Monday night was around you would rarely see the Donkeys get a Monday Night game and consequently back up 5 or 6 days later.

The NRL seem to pander to them.

They sacrifice protecting the cattle for a few extra million.

Won't happen, the game makes too much money from Thursday and Friday night games

Good thing now for us it appears as though we have nothing but 6 or 7 day turnarounds from here on out.

 

[Freakzilla]

We're 0-5 on 5 day turn arounds in 2022 & 2023.

 

[Lost Dog]

Agreed. Seems as though we are getting the short straw most of the time.

Warriors played 3 in 11 days

 

[Freakzilla]

Warriors played 3 in 11 days

It was 3 in 12 days & that was their decision. They want to play on Anzac day no matter what.
