There's plenty of commentary around the so-called 'favourable draw' for the Canberra Raiders in the 2024 NRL season. The Raiders only play the Panthers, the Broncos and the Storm once next season, with two games against the Warriors.
Of the other teams that finished in the top eight in 2023 - Newcastle, the Sharks and the Roosters - the Raiders will play them twice in 2024.
That's 11 games for the Raiders in the 27-round 2024 season against top eight teams from last year.
