The NRL do some dumb shit but in general I've found them to be pretty flexible when it comes to common sense scheduling.
I expect a genuinely favourable time slot will be agreed for week 2 or 3.
What will be most interesting is we would likely host the GF Qualifier in the Sunday avo slot which would lead to a raft of calls to move big matches back to Sunday avo
This is the perfect time slot for the Wahs - hard and fast track on a Saturday afternoon. Not too late.
Can you smell an upset cooking???
I just have this feeling that Webster has lined up Penrith deliberately. Beat the defending two time premiers at there place week 1 (knowing you have a safety net of week 2 at home)and your belief that you can win the whole thing must go through the roof.
One game to earn the right to a semi-final.
Webster v Cleary. I just have this feeling that we are going to take them on. And I have this feeling that the NRL really don’t want a 3 peat…
Watch the body language of the Wahs players and staff all week. Something is up.
I reckon they have targeted Penrith all year. To be the best you need to beat the best.
