Finals Week 2

[isaiah]

Looks about right to me BF.

Souths vs Manly is the only likely upset IMO. Roosters, Cowboys and Storm all much stronger and in better form then the teams they're facing.

Souths are in better form then Manly, but they have a ridiculous amount of finals experience.

i'd agree with manly v storm and penrith v cowboys being the week 2 games

Well the Swans have confirmed ANZ for friday next week...

So I guess its Friday @ SFS

What a fascinating read about Penrith's injury worries!...........that is what this threads about right?:roll:

I hate to mention this again, but what has been swept under the radar and hasn't received any attention at all in the media since the new tv rights deal commenced last year is Ch9 still being allowed to retain Fri night/Sat night finals in weeks 2 and 3.

In 2008, week 2/3 finals were changed from Sat night/Sunday to Fri night/Sat night as a compromise of the Grand Final being changed from night to twilight/late afternoon. Since Ch9 got back their beloved night GF last year, it is only fair for the fans that the week 2/3 finals got changed back to Sat night/Sunday. I know Ch9 will NEVER ever allow this to happen under the current tv rights deal (i.e. they'd NEVER swap a Friday night match for Sunday due to ratings, despite the fact the Sunday game would obtain a higher crowd), but this is an issue that definitely deserves more attention when the next tv rights deal commenced in 2018.

RL fans have been screwed over...yet again

Latimore and Simmons have been included in this weeks team...

Penrith unavailable list very similar to the Roosters this week.

Wallace, Taylor, Peachey, Docker & Cartwright

Friend, Napa, Guerra & Nuuausala.

honestly looking at that list the roosters are missing more talent. The panthers fans whinging is way above the amount of talent they are missing.

Hey you're right. Get back on topic. Week 2 does not concern Penrith whatsoever.

I see what you did there.....

Do we know yet which night Souths play their next game?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Interesting week 2 finals coming up

 

[cleary89]

Roosters and Manly both hosting, Swans will be at ANZ. Surely both the league games at SFS?

 

[souths1908]

So it will be Roosters Vs Cowboys, Manly Vs Storm/Dogs.. not sure of order, both will most likely be at Allianz

 

[Brutus]

Roosters v Cowboys 13k

Manly v Storm 9k

Is it just me or do Manly get more supporters at ANZ then Allianz?
Manly V Bulldogs should be at ANZ
Or
Manly V Melb at Allianz

 

[Rhyno]

2 great matches next week

 

[Blues Riff]

Manly v Storm 9k

Might as well have it at Brookie. They can have a Trash'n'Treasure market and put on a sausage sizzle.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So manly v dogs at allianz. ??

Would get 40 at anz

 

[undertaker]

So manly v dogs at allianz. ??

Would get 40 at anz

Sea Eagles vs Dogs on a Saturday night at Allianz will get 30k minimum

I agree that at ANZ it would've got 40k minimum, but it is a Sea Eagles 'home' game hence why it's played at Allianz

 

[maple_69]

Manly will be stoked if their home game is at their oppositions home ground.

 

[BunniesMan]

We could have two rivalry games to qualify for the grand final.

The battle of the foundation teams and the battle for the western suburbs between Canterbury and Penrith.

30k at Allianz looks a lot better then 40k at ANZ
