If We beat Newcastle on Sat we play Warriors at WIN

[mickeylane]

Not a bad outcome even though it may be a knockout..as we finish 5th if the below pans out...

Based on Scenario that:

1. Warriors win finsih 8th on inferior points
2. Broncos win finish 6th
3. Penrith lose to Storm finish 7th
4. We finish 5th

5 v 8 and if we win we play loser of Storm v Sharks away i believe

The first four words of the thread title make me so nervous I did a little wee in my pants.

No we don’t.
Sydney games will be played at ANZ or Allianz, no matter who plays

Week One (commencing 7 September): Qualifying Finals & Elimination Finals

The highest qualifying teams after 26 Rounds will host each match at their normal home venue, with exception to any Sydney based NRL club which will play their ‘home game’ at either the Allianz Stadium or ANZ Stadium

It don't sit well with me , If we win that's how its become . Gone from when we win , to can win , to if we win . That's how our season has gone .....

BGB you are correct anz or allianz only

Let's hope it's allianz if it pans out that way...

Does it matter we will get done by who ever it is.

 

[sea dragon]

Slater has pulled out. Wouldn't surprise me if Panthers win now.
In that case more likely we will play Broncos @ SFS or ANZ (assuming we win)
Really depends who has the bigger win Broncs or Warriors as only 3 points separate there +/-

 

[TruSaint]

Knights will have 25k there. Old boys day etc.

On what we showed ( or moreso didnt show ), at our home ground, I cant see a win here.

Hope Im wrong, but Newcastle will be up for this and we are so far off where we need to be it aint funny.

 

[Alec's-saints]

imagine if we play in Sydney in all 3 games. anyone know where we need to finish to avoid Melbourne week 3?

So what your saying is that Newcastle have a bit to play for being Old boys day and would like to put on a good performance for the fans? Geez I wish the Saints would do that? That would be awesome? Mary did say they will play for Thomo before Sunday. They must really hate Thomo,

A day I wish to forget Slippery.

Like i have posted elsewhere many times mate, I have witnessed bigger loses but not worse losses.

Shameful display...

 

[Slackboy72]

Remember when we were going to smash the points scoring record mickey?

How many points do we need to score on Saturday to still do this?

Couldn’t agree more. Allianz is vastly underused as it is. It’s a far better spectator viewer ground than the concrete, soulless joint out at Homebush.

I really wish the NRL would abandon its current practice of using ANZ Stadium for larger club games because the status quo looks awful on tv when no one shows up.

You realise that predictions such as this are doooommmmeeeeddd?

 

[Gareth67]

Great news , it looks as if our GF showdown with Penrith is still on the cards !

Agreed but I fear that if we play penrif that it will be at the concrete chasm to appease their fans.

Unless the dragons get to choose of course...

Careful what you wish for.
Part of the governments cost/benefit analysis for rebuilding Alianz was getting more NRL games there, so expect there to be more "home" games to be played there by NRL teams, they were looking at us and Manly.
