So, time for Cameron George to have that awkward "it's not me, it's you" chat with the Dolphins CEO.
If the draw for 2023 looks like the draw the last time teams had two byes, they'll often be really poorly spread out so most teams have both in the space of a month, which is just stupid. I think a 12 week gap is minimum.
Obviously, if the NRL are going to stick with the Origin 2 Stand Alone Weekend trick, that's the first bye, but if they do, how can they more-or-less fairly spread out the second one for all 17 teams?? Two Stand Alone Weekends isn't going to fly...
