I have a feeling it's a request. Storm are similar.
Try to bank early season wins, use the byes to get through Origin period and stay fresh, charge to the finals.

I suppose that makes sense.
Risky manouevure, I'd imagine. Huge risk of burning your players out, right?

For sure, especially if you pick up a few injuries in the process due to a lack of rest and recovery.
On the flip side, use your byes too early and you face needing to play 10+ weeks in a row to win a premiership.
*shrugs* probably no perfect solution.
The scheduling is just all kinds of fucked. It's ridiculous that some teams have had their second bye, before the cows have their first.
Like, what kind of brain dead scheduler allows for that?
so that's a wrap to another weekend we remain in 2nd. The start to this year has been crazy and we have seen quite a lot of movement in the top 4 already with tigers, knights, bunnies and manly all spending time in the 4 at some pt this year. But other than Penrith we have been the only side to have been there since day one: we have now spent 11/12 weeks inside the top 4 and 9/12 weeks inside of the top 2. That's an incredible feat if you think about it.

Weren’t their touting their AI model for doing it not that long ago.
I get its a big job but surely they can at least have human look over it and give the final tick of approval.
