Putting the Storm on in Melb the same time as the AFL and an SFS double header the same time as the Swans - peak NRL.

No way would Panthers v Warriors get a bigger crowd at the SFS than it would at Penrith.

Running a double header at Allianz against an all-Sydney AFL final at the SCG.

If we don’t sell it out, or a huge number only go to one match or the other, it’d be a black eye to the game.

What would be a sellout at Panthers + about 25k at the SFS for the Roosters gsme will now be a crowd of about 30k overall at the double header.

The pig-headedness of this league. Penrith should be at Penrith Stadium. Home finals should be exactly that. Sydney clubs shouldn’t have to go miles out of their area or Canberra and Newcastle shouldn’t have to play in Sydney because someone at HQ watched an NFL playoff match once and went, ‘gee, 70,000 at a playoff, we should do that for our games’.

Disagree entirely. There are quite a few Sydney stadiums that are just not up to snuff with finals football.

The NRL haven't confirmed anything, Triple M are clickbait merchants.

Details have been delayed, I'm hearing the NRL may allow Penrith to host at Panthers.
