No end of season comeback this year so we better get our **** together
Besides the giant break between bye 1&2 the draw doesn't look to bad

Round 7 we play sharks away than travel for a 5 game turn around to vs NZ on Anzac day
Followed by a 8 day turn around

Round 12 we have a 5 day turn around leading into round 13 both away games one at comm bank vs panthers the other vs dragons that leads us to 6 days later home game vs manly

That's it for 5 day turn arounds the rest of it is pretty good

once again as a inner 'ish' sydney based fan there are only 3 games within 1 hour drive I can attend.... selfishly frustrated that panthers is at bathurst, rabits at suncorp and tigers at c-town, no roosters or manly at home. Not much point to this comment just annoyed

Easiest draw in the clubs history

We need to start fast.
The draw starts easy and gets hard at the end.
O'Brien will have to find a way to fire them up.

Whoever did the knights marketing for the draw reveal (posted on X/Twitter) did a great job and deserves a raise!

Celticman98 · Nov 21, 2024

There's no way we will be going a 2023 like run in the last 10 rounds in 2025. So need to start fast for a change.

No game is a easy game regardless of opponent.

Defender1 · Nov 21, 2024

Don't base the difficulty of the draw on this year, there's always a couple of teams drop off from the year before, and a couple improve massively.

HarVeeGee13 · Nov 21, 2024

Yeah and then at the end of the season the commentarati cry about how unfair the draw is despite the fact they were saying different teams had easy draws at the start of the year.

Still no Roosters away game is annoying, been keen to check out the new stadium. Last year was pretty crap as well for Sydney folk.

JOJO82 · Nov 21, 2024

Our draw has been ranked as the 3rd easiest

State of Origin imapct:
Rd12 Away to Panthers without origin players
Rd13 Away to Dragons with origin players on two day back up
Rd15 Home to Roosters without origin players
Rd16 Away to Dolphins with origin players on a three day back up
Rd18 Bye
Rd19 Home to Storm with origin players on a three day back up
An interesting lottery through that period
