An analysis of each team’s NRL draw, with matches against top-four and top-eight teams from 2022 as well as free-to-air games and five-day turnarounds.
CANBERRA RAIDERS
Top-four opponents – 5, top-eight opponents – 8, five-day turnarounds – 1, free-to-air matches – 8, bye rounds – 8, 16, 20.
The Raiders play only eight matches against last season’s finalists, only doubling up against Cronulla, with just one match against all other top-eight sides.
“We’re really happy with it,” Raiders CEO Don Furner said.
“We always ask for day games through winter and we got that through the middle of the year.
“And we’re fairly well spread out with our byes.”
