As we farewell the month of November and head into the final month of 2016, let's take a look at the month that was and look at the biggest talking points to wrap-up.
TALKING POINTS
1. 2017 NRL DRAW
No Round 1 rivals: The big talking point to come out of Round 1 is that we aren't playing the South-Sydney Rabbitohs.
Instead we will be on the road interstate for a clash with the Gold Coast Titans at CBus Super Stadium.
The last time we went to Queensland in Round 1 was in 2015 when the Roosters went head-to-head with the North-Queensland Cowboys in Townsville.
On that occasion, the Roosters walked away with a big win over the side that would go on to be Premiers.
All Sydney start at Allianz: We kick off our 2017 home campaign against the Bulldogs at home for a blockbuster Sydney derby, but our three games that follow will also be against Sydney teams.
The highlight amongst those four will be our traditional Anzac Day clash against the Dragons, while the Sea Eagles and Eels will also be coming to town for some exciting Sydney Club battles.

The match will be played at one of the country’s most iconic grounds – Adelaide Oval – and will be the first time that the Sydney Roosters have played in South Australia.
The game will be played in Round 16 of the NRL Telstra Premiership against the Melbourne Storm.
