11 games in 36 days is a tough ask, and then add a couple of trips across the tasman to Welington/Auckand especially after not really travelling for games.

Yipe I reckon a big part of that recent good run was built off, not having to leave NSW for 2 months. Helped Talay just use the same 12-13 players pretty much, with no taxing interstate flights etc.

Now there is going to be an almost total opposite scenario. I think will be minimum 3 interstate flights (incl Perth) in these 11 games?? Plus at least one TT trip maybe. Uffie will need to use most of the squad from now onwards.

Hopefully they can rejig the draw and so have the  2 planned NZ games (WSW & CCM), in the same week, making 1 midweek (Auckland game?). So avoiding a midweek game back over in Aussie, separating the 2 - like there was last season from memory. But the seemingly powerful Auckland sponsors may have a say in that unfortunately. All moot until crowd restrictions are eased.

And though would be disappointing if Nix now didn't make the top 6, season has actually gone considerably better to date than I thought it would. But is going to be a tough ole finish. Will need some injury free luck from here methinks.
 Maybe something like Midweek (Aus), Sunday(Welly), Friday(Auckland), Midweek(Aus)

But 11 games in 36 days (5 weeks) means there has to be a midweek game every week, until the season ends.

So either they sandwich a mid week game back in Aus, between 2 weekend games in NZ - adding to an already heavy game/travel load. 

Or they make one of 2 proposed NZ games a mid weeker, lessening the travel load.
