I agree with you there. This NSW Cup Final should have at least been a curtain raiser to one of the Prelim Finals this weekend. It would have more exposure there, and would at least have been given a mention in the First Grade telecast.
Although I don't mind the idea of the NSW/Qld Cup next weekend. It is a good trial. I hope it works out in some capacity in the future.
As for the game being at the SFS tomorrow. I know there will be three games there (Sydney Shield at 10.30am / Ron Massey Cup at 12.40pm / NSW Cup at 3.10pm) but I cannot see a crowd there at all. Apart from family and friends, I don't see many neutrals attending. Should have been at a suburban ground like Leichhardt Oval where they had some semi-finals played there, or at Kogarah Oval where they play the odd lower grade game there.
