Our Brian Fletcher is a f**king clown who shouldn't be allowed to do interviews

He's right though. That said, if we, and the Broncos, meet in the grand final, then we are at an advantage.

He's not. We don't have a home stadium good enough to host a prelim, a few other teams do, so it is what it is.

The advantages and disadvantages all teams face through the year tend to even out for the most part. Broncos are the outlier with turnarounds and playing at home for an away game in magic round.

Your second sentence is bang on. And that's why those whinging about prelim venues look like sooks imo.

I understand that, and Fletcher acknowledged that, he said that, despite the fact Suncorp can hold a large crowd, it is their home group, which is unfair. I agree with him

finals are all about the $$$$ = bigger stadiums means bigger crowds which means bigger revenue. Simple as that.

look at the perspective that for all Brisbane are gifted - they havent played at Accor much this year and havent travelled for a while - couple that with a high intensity prelim final (should they win) - and a day less rest = they are getting short term gains for long term pain - whilst we are getting short term pain for long term gain.

we just gotta do the business on friday night - nothing else matters at the moment

Fletcher is a whinger, play whosin front of you, so what if they get a suncorp prelim, dolphins get that too if they make it next season, roosters would get one at allianz, we played souffs at accor for the GF and semis, cant control that, just is what it is

They should NEVER get away games for magic round. That shit is ridiculous

I agree with that, I'm not sure what genius thought that was a good idea.

The only thing I can think of is that the "home" team gets the gate and they opt for it. (Or whatever percentage of the gate each home team gets)

 

[jane the pain]

No he's not

They are playing at their spiritual home ground. That's an advantage

It's a perfectly acceptable reality. Our CEO has made us look like weak bitches

According to the readers perspective. Personally speaking, and assuming both teams makes it, I think this may work in our favour.

 

[Fangs]

It might seem unfair, and maybe it is. But Suncorp is a must for semi/prelim finals matches. 52k capacity.

We'd beat them up there anyway so I don't really care.

There has been no suggestion about moving kick off to 4pm to fit into NZ time slot.
Rules for some?

All paid for with taxpayer money. He's looking to get some of it our way.

Clash with AFL in same town.

The Qualifying Final wasn't moved to accommodate NZ either.

Apparently TV said no because it would clash with the AFL on in QLD

Correct.
