It would be great 75,000 crowd but why would you want to give away your home ground?

You get half that at best in Accor, in an 85k seat stadium so the atmosphere would be horrible

Just move the game. Like you all said you fear nobody and will smash everyone. For the good of the game. Move it

30k at Accor v the atmosphere of 22k at Penrith, It is a no brainer really

You'd get 35k Parra fans alone. I'd imagine 20k Penrith supporter and another 10k neutrals.
Just move it you babys

Not on a Friday night you won't.

Or crowds for finals moved have been ordinary.

17,168 v Warrors Accor
19211 v Sharks SFS
15408 v Manly SFS
22,631 v Dogs SFS

The fact it makes everyone sook we have it. Even better. I look forward to seeing all the tears at 10.30am Monday when it has sold out

How many teams in the current Top 8 would be capable of going the long way to, and, win the GF?

Week 2 is the hard week.

Say we lose next week, Play Sharks or Cowboys to get into the GF. Assuming you beat the Storm in week 2

 

[CCJohnC]

Am I right in saying the NRL restrict the number of tickets for the finals? At Penrith the limit 20K not 22K?

 

[Sime_11]

Week 1 doesnt get extremely good crowds at Accor

if Souths Chooks next week was a non elimination final - they'd probably just sell out Allianz but not Accor

Penrith Parra week 1 isn't getting more the 35k unless its an elimination final- where'd you be lucky to get an extra 5-10k.

week 2 or week 3 - then you'd be looking at 50k

Seriously, it really is somewhat tiresome week in week out listening to either fox or nine commentators banging on about Latrell or ‘Trell’ as he is affectionately known by many. The guy is a myth, he really is, again tonight you look at the contribution of Tedesco and what ’Trell’ offered it is rather embarrassing. Another game where Latrell failed to achieve over a 100 running metres, caught in the defensive line leading to a Roosters try, I know the Bunnies scored there first try of his grubber kick but it was more good luck than void play. There are two massive over paid under achievers in the NRL Latrell is one and Kaylan Ponga is the other.

As much as I hate Spider Cam, it was great last night to show how lazy Latrell is defensively.

Plenty of evidence showing him just moping around back there, not talking, not giving directions etc.

Even in attack, he just refuses to get involved, and refuses to do the tough stuff.

He's absolutely electric running off the back off a fast play the ball, and is a bit more active inside the opposition 20, but for a guy with his natural skills and tackle breaking ability to only be running 100m a game is such a waste.

A complete downhill skiier, and a massive liability when things aren't going his way. His sin-binning last night was ridiculous, and I couldn't believe the nerve of him to stand there and argue, and then stroll off.

I had to laugh at the Roosters press conference. A journalist asked if it was a plan to kick to Latrell to minimise his impact (a ploy Penrith use to tire him out every time he plays against us), Robinson said "no plan, it was just a coincidence". Yeah, right and I have a harbour bridge I want to sell you.

It was so bloody obvious they wanted Latrell to run the ball back and tire himself out. And it worked, he looked knackered most of the time. A supremely gifted athlete, capable of moments of magic like that amazing pass against us, but lazy and unfit. Considering how important fullback is to your defence, I can't see how it benefits South's playing him there. He could still be given a license to roam in attack, playing in the centres then he could cruise most of the game and keep his energy levels up. He would be far more dangerous there than playing at the back struggling to defend. Let's hope South's continue to play him there so we can continue to give him catching and kick return practise.

If Parra finished high enough to have a home Semi, would you want it moved? I think not.. Flip.

He’s good at pumping his chest when he kicks a sideline conversion though. And remember if the great Trell played the GF last year we would’ve lost too.. Myth….

But it is a shiny new stadium they play in!
