We all know the NRL Draw is unbalanced with teams not playing a full home and away schedule. There's also been talk about short turnarounds which the NRL has worked hard to try to balance. What we don't hear about is the massive discrepancy in travel.

Have you noted any effect on game outcome given the distance/number of time zones the team/s travelled? I've got a vague recollection of hearing something like NFL teams scoring x many points less if they had to travel 3 hours or more, but only in one direction. Something to do with circadian rhythms.
