so unless the very unlikely happens & the Titans beat the chooks

its Melbourne V Parramatta at AAMI on either the Saturday arvo/night , or Sunday
& the Roosters V Broncos at Allianz , on almost certainly the Friday night

the bottom 4 finals are a lot less clear with some footy today to make things a lot clearer
regardless , there'll be no final played in Townsville .. so the other 2 finals will be at ANZ & Allianz & be at ANZ on Saturday arvo/night to avoid the Swans at the SCG , & the Allianz final on Sunday depending on what they do with Melbourne.
The thing is either the Sharks or Manly may be forced to host a final at ANZ which they ordinarily wouldn't do & for mine it shoud be the lower finishing of the 2 , the Sharks will finish higher then Manly so should have dibs at Allianz & if the eagles finish 6th , they go to ANZ.
so
finals week 1 I think will be

Friday Night Allianz Roosters V Broncos
Saturday Afternoon ANZ stadium with either Penrith or Manly hosting
Saturday night AAMI park Melbourne V Parramatta
Sunday afternoon Allianz Cronulla hosting

I reckon it'll be

Manly v Dragons 25k

Sharks v Penrith 28k


Think manly will be too strong for the riff today and surely Dragons beat the doggies.

Dragons / Sharks win

Sets up 2 semis of

Roosters v Dragons 40k

Parramatta v Sharks 35k



Parramatta / Roosters win

Prelims

Brisbane v Paramatta 52k

Melbourne v Roosters 28k


Grand Final

Brisbane v Melbourne 82k

My prediction anyway.

Whoever finishes 6/7th has a mammoth task ahead of them..

Broncos V Dragons at Suncorp 45000
Parra V Sharks at ANZ , 40 to 45000

Prelims
Storm V Broncos in Melb 30000
Roosters V Sharks at Allianz 40000

The NRL have said they won't shy away from a SFS fixture on saturday. They want it to be 8PM to try and entice AFL fans to go to both apparently.

Dragons will most likely progress to week 2 no matter who they play. They have the wood on Cronulla, Manly and Penrith.

Funny scenario considering they limp into the 8

hmmmmmmm
going to both would be nice, some might go , but its the NRLs own fans who'll be punished if they do this..
with 40,000 plus people already in the Moore park area as NRL fans are trying to get in there too for the game next door , or battle traffic leaving the area at the completion of the AFL
it'd be a nightmare & would affect the NRL crowd , people simply wouldn't go
ANZ is free & a better option in this situation
let every ticketed member of the competing clubs in for free & every junior pass holder regardless of where they're from too to all Sydney finals.
Gotta get the lazy so & so's off their butts

reckon the NRL are cheering on Titans here..

48,000 at suncorp v maybe 19,000 at sfs

they'll get a big crowd at Suncorp either next week or the week after regardless
but the Broncos hosting a prelim will draw a bigger crowd then one at the SFS , so maybe they're cheering a bit yeah

as for 19K next week at the SFS
only if the cows are playing

any combo of Sydney sides there will do considerably better then that
