The NRL powers-that-be have been kind to the Warriors in putting the draw together for 2025

The NRL powers-that-be have been kind to the Warriors in putting the draw together for 2025

21 November 2024 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

The Wahs will play this year's Top 4 finishers just once next year - the joint fewest - and will play Top 8 opponents just 10 times, the second-joint fewest.

The Warriors have NO five-day turnarounds where three clubs have three and another four have two.

They also play three teams coming off the bye round, while three teams don't do that at all.

The 2025 schedule will feature the lowest number of five-day turnarounds ever delivered in an NRL draw - at 21, it's five less than last season and nine less than 2023.
