NOT THE GAME DAY THREAD - Finals week 1 vs Roosters

[Craigshark]

Carmonnnnn Sharkies. This is a big game, we need to get a win to show we can win an important game. Will have to be a lot better than today. Roosters have been going ok. JWH is a big out for them.

shark park Saturday night. Get it done.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

I'd rather be playing Easts than Newcastle or Canberra. Get it done!

I have just looked at the Finals Calculator, it seems that the games are now “grouped” rather than individual team rankings.

If we beat the Roosters, we play the loser of the Broncos v Melbourne game.

Under this system, if the Raiders (8th) beat the Knights (5th) they become a higher ranked team than the Sharks (6th). All of this is according to the Finals Calculator.

If we were to beat the Roosters, under the old system we would have played the Warriors away.

That seems like the old system, you sure it changed ?

Great, so suncorp or aami park is the route.

Everything after round 1 finals should be in syndey.

were we to get an email this morning?

the waiting lounge on Ticketek has already begun

 

[Sharkman]

I'm on multiple machines, devices and browsers trying to get through. Just the lounge again.

Why?

They performed better through the year, they earned a home final.

Plus they'd get bigger crowds than most Sydney teams.

The finals locations are stacked in favour of teams outside Sydney. Designed to take the game into other states.

If broncos win, they play their preliminary at suncorp. 2 home games.

Home finals are round 1 then they should revert to the larger Sydney venues.

f**k the Broncos and Melbourne.

I'm with @Birdee_Num_Num
Never been a fan of the whole home semi thing.
Week one, maybe.

But after that I like the carnival atmosphere of the big games being played at bigger venues.

Finals are special thing.
They should be treated that way.

 

[Special K]

I got in. Selected 2 in upper et. Got to confirmation - upper PB they gave me. Couldn't go back or restarts the lounge.

Also $90 a pop - jesus.

 

[Ozzi_78]

2 in MP stand done. Quite painless

 

[Special K]

Got back in and again can't get into ET upper despite it having tickets available. What the f**k

 

[Ozzi_78]

$75 is robbery btw

 

[Ozzi_78]

They did the same last year. They stagger the availability. It’s stupid. They even save some for non member drops tomorrow.

Nothing has changed. We were 2v3 last year and played the winner of 6v7.

 

[Craigshark]

Appears sold out until the next release?

 

[Stake Removed]

I am surprised Roosters didn't offer us $$$$ to move game to Allianz
