Cant he get a needle for it

Im gonna bet lefty that Moses will play

Its a scientific fact that concussions are less damaging at finals time ... all the stats point to it

Interesting we are playing Canberra this week and we know Paul kent loves Ricky.

Do you reckon there will be a campaign on NRL360 that Moses should not be playing under any circumstances.

Did anyone notice in Ricky's presser he went straight for the underdog role, saying how hard we are to beat, especially at Bankwest (sic).

Yeah but he does like talking about dogs

 

[strider]

Are we officially at commbank stadium? Or nrl not saying yet? ... it is certain there will be 2 sydney games next week ... and dont reckon they will let sharks be at lendlease park again next week .... but if they are playing the roosters, will the sharks wanna play at chooksville?

Is it better we give up our home final if nth qld gives up there's in the next game

I hope the Raiders turn up to bankwest because it's means they will turn up at the wrong ground.

Given we’re playing Canbra, I’d say NRL will be ok with it at Commbank. It’ll sell out easily, Accor may get more but probably not significantly.
Sharks “home” game will be interesting given the options are the home grounds of their opponents.

Regardless, maybe BA wont want to risk Mitch.

Commbank stadium have posted on FB and Twitter about tickets going on sale Monday.

I assume they have been told.

Commbank isn't a surbaban ground either it's a world class facility. Same capacity as AAMI Park in Melbourne which has hosted prelim finals

We don't need those feral fans ruining our stadium with a home final.

Yeah but melbourne doesnt have a rectangular alternative ... sydney does

Agree being canberra prob means a lesser crowd ..... but we had a pretty sizeable crowd at homebush in 2017 against the cowboys, 41k ... i reckon more raiders fans would turn up

But thats cool ... commbank is good for us

Homebush was our home ground in 2017.

Commbank was being built.

I realise that ... the point was we got 41k to a semi final against an out of sydney team

 

[eels_fan]

No suburban grounds in the semis, so sharks cannot play at home, they’ll be at Allianz.

Commbank is a considered a regional venue so it can host semis so that’s where the game will be

 

[King-Gutho94]

It was our first home final in 8 years.

But yeah realistically we would get probably 55-60k next week at homebush against Canberra.

Raiders fan would drive up Friday arvo in droves. They are big passionate fanbase as well when flying. And the lime green stands out.

But why give up a home ground advantage if we don't have too. 30k sold out is a better atmosphere.

That's the advantage being a member you get first access to tickets so if it's sold out before general public get access tough luck.

Rubbish. It’s sudden death FFS.

Club contact has confirmed Friday night at CommBank.

They're definitely the underdogs, but shouldn't be underestimated. There's plenty of big match experience in that team. Eight of them played in the 2019 grand final. But then so did Bailey Simonsson.

We should win this at home. We'll handle their front rowers better than their wingers, who weren't very involved in the Melbourne win.
