Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2801336, member: 1899"] It's a total non-factor as far as premiership credentials. Melbourne met Cronulla in Rd26 of last year, smoked them and look how far that got them when it was all said and done. The same can be said about 2013 and 2014. In fact, Broncos fans should be able to remember the last regular season game of 2000 where the Roosters completely shut the Broncos out and won emphatically. Now that isn't to say I agree with the scheduling. I think it's a lousy move from the NRL since neither side is going to commit to the contest as they would have in say Round 24 and I think they put too many eggs into the one basket. In saying that, I much prefer it over the 2014-16 schedule where both matches would be over and done with before the Origin season commenced. That was ridiculous for a number of reasons, but especially last year where the only high profile games Brisbane had left were against Melbourne. Even then, having one during the Origin period was ugly and produced a total mismatch which was a shame because it drew a really good crowd. [/QUOTE]
