The downside of the finals is the Sharks are playing at home, it can't get any worse then this. Poor stadium that isn't sufficient for finals footy. It really is embarrassing for our code, i mean why cant they just move one more game to Allianz? Yeah I know its closed for resurfing of the pitch but why not one more game![]()
Definitely not ideal.Its a joke, this is the 3rd since 2022 and still the same issue. The NRL needs to do something about this. They changed the rules years ago for suburban grounds because years ago you had Dragons, Eels playing at the suburban grounds and fans cracked it when you can only get 15 to 20k, locking other fans out.
Then they changed it back because they got poor crowds at Allianz and Homebush when Manly, Penrith and Sharks hosted finals.
Back in the 90s, every finals was at Allianz or one or two at Suncorp.
It's the record. Previous record was 5,968 which was what the Warriors drew against the Raiders in late August.7,195 at the NRLW in Hamilton. Can anyone confirm if this is a record regular stand alone game?
Why’s he sooking about a turnaround when he’s resting his whole squad?![]()

They’ll host Brisbane in their qualifying final and coach Ricky Stuart has made it clear he believes it is only fair they should play on Sunday, declaring they have earned the right to pick when they play.
“We’re minor premiers and we need the maximum turnaround as possible from the Sunday game tomorrow,” Stuart tpld reporters on Saturday.
“We’re going to be playing against a team that’s got nine days, so it’s an unbelievable advantage (for Brisbane).
“That one extra day is what we deserve for being minor premiers.”
It looks like Stuart has had his wish granted, with Fox League revealing the likely schedule during coverage of Super Saturday while Michael Maguire also told ABC Sport he was informed his side’s first finals clash will be on Sunday.
“We’ve been told Sunday mate, Sunday at 4pm,” Maguire said.
