Finals.

Was hoping we might have got lucky with Friend being out. However scans have shown he did not fracture his cheekbone. He will need to pass concussion protocols to play.

If he is out that will be a big advantage for us. Without Radley or Verills either the Roosters won’t have a hooker. They will have to play Lam at hooker again.

He will play it’s a semi final normal round maybe not

So if this weekend the Storm beat the Eels and the Bunnies beat the Knights, we will play the winner of Eels/Bunnies in the prelim. If I am reading the draw correctly we can’t play the Storm or Roosters again unless we make the GF.

Provided the Storm win today.

So if the Storm lose, unlikely, we will play them, if so, where at?

ANZ or Bankwest

They'd have to beat Souths or Cronulla first.

Personally speaking, I think we will make it to the grand final, and win. Thanks.

Looks likely that will be against the Storm. We've beat the Roosters twice, we can beat the Storm twice too.

Hopefully, the storm, if that happens, does not treat the game like a "training" match.

I doubt bankwest will be used whoever we play. Govt guidelines only allow 50% capacity for the larger stadiums, so that’d only be 15k tickets for bankwest. We’d sell that easily. It’ll be at ANZ.

 

[GongPanther]

If we lost, our next game would have been at Parramatta Park. Our next game because we won, is at the Olympic Stadium.

 

[John Hamblin]

ANZ or Bankwest

To Parra play at Bankwest or WANKBEST!!!

Do you want to play Souffs at their homeground though?

I'd happily play Souths anywhere

 

[TheEroticGamer]

They answered where a home prelim would be a week ago.

I don't think they get that far but crowd wise they would outnumber us if it was that way

It’s not much of a home ground, but there’s no way the NRL schedule the game at parramatta. The lost revenue this season is already through the roof.

If they wanted revenue they wouldn't have the cheap tickets they are for the finals
