2018 Finals Scheduling

[Illawarra Tiger]

This is proof that the NRL is No Real Leadership.

Dumb scheduling again.

Friday should have been Easts v Cronulla

Saturday Brisbane v St George
Melbourne v Souths

Sunday Penrith v Warriors

In the old days it would have been
Roosters v Warriors
Melbourne v St George
Souths v Brisbane
Sharks v Panthers

3 games in Sydney!

 

[Valheru]

The thinking is that South's ran 3rd and if they lose.. they deserve more break than a team that ran 8th

Souths wouldn't be playing 8th spot

ROOSTERS V CRONULLA CANNOT BE FRIDAY

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Sydney Roosters will beat Cronulla Sharks
Melbourne Storm will beat South Sydney Rabbitohs
Brisbane Broncos will thrash St George-Illawarra Dragons
New Zealand Warriors will beat Penrith Panthers.

 

[McLovin]

Sydney Roosters will beat Cronulla Sharks
Melbourne Storm will beat South Sydney Rabbitohs
Brisbane Broncos will thrash St George-Illawarra Dragons
New Zealand Warriors will beat Penrith Panthers.

Okay

 

[t-ba]

Warriors playing at the same time as the All Blacks

Real Brains trust down at Moore Park

 

[Jamberoo]

Storm will get 25k regardless of AFL

The town has 5m people ffs..

Yes but if there weren’t 90,000 people 500m away which means traffic chaos, no car parking and packed trains/trams, then perhaps another 5k would go.

 

[Jamberoo]

How many times?

ROOSTERS V CRONULLA CANNOT BE FRIDAY

Why is that?

 

[t-ba]

Why is that?

Turnaround too short for Cronulla.

 

[user_nat]

Why is that?

5 day turn around. Same reason Broncos/Dragons isn't Friday.

 

[DIOGENES]

There are things called time zones
Penrith vs Warriors is at 7:30 pm NZ time
All Blacks vs Pumas is at 5:30 pm NZ time

If anything the timing is ideal for NZ TV

No it isn't

 

[DIOGENES]

I stand corrected

 

[Vozzy]

They should just do a double header in Sydney at ANZ on the Saturday or even Sunday if your scared of AFL. Roosters will winge about playing there but Penrith do aswell. Plus Out of Roosters/Sharks/Penrith/Warriors the Roosters even in Sydney would have the least fans turn up

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Never should have a double head game ever in finals

 

[Rabbits20]

If Cecchin is refing the game on Friday Storm will win.

With NAS still probably out and Chambers definitely out we have a chance.

Last time we beat them 30-20 a few weeks ago and that was without GI or Jenko.

Croft may struggle too. The Storm seem more vulnerable compared to last year though!

 

[meltiger]

A (e.g. we always drive in but that is not an option now), r.

Try getting the train or tram

It’s a 5 minute walk at most ffs

It’s not like the game is up against two powerhouses it’s Melbourne vs Geelong.

The AFL game won’t have a single impact on numbers over at AAMI

 

[King hit]

Favourites for the premiership

- Roosters
- Rabbitohs
- Storm

Smokeys

- Cronulla
- Brisbane

Who I think will go out quickly

- Dragons
- Panthers
- Warriors

 

[Card Shark]

I suppose they gave the Warriors the early game on Saturday so it’s not too late NZ time & people would watch.

Trouble is, no one will watch anyway with the All Blacks on at the same time.

Should be played 7pm Friday.
