The run home

[Noise]

Manly could choose to play it at ANZ. A ground they have a very good record at.

If Manly runs 1st and the Roosters run 4th and the game has to be played at the SFS it will make a mockery of the system, Manly will blow up and in 2015 the Final series will be changed and go back to Home Grounds like Brookvale, Parra, etc in week 1.

It's not up to Manly. The NRL will choose where they play. Seeing the SFS is closest to both teams and there is public transport for manly fans to the sfs they will play it there. The NRL won't want the embarrassment of 60000 empty seats at ANZ

What if it was Roosters v Dogs. Where would the NRL decide to play this?

SFS. I don't think there is anything in the Final System that says that the NRL will choose where the game is played is there?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Ok so you get to choose. So if we were playing the dogs or Souths we could choose the SFS.

So Manly would get rewarded by having to play at the Roosters home ground?

Dunno, Noise reckons there is.

I can see there being an uproar if Manly has to play the Roosters at the SFS. It's got controversy written all over it...

Hypothetical: what ground Roosters v Dogs?

I think would depend who finishes higher on the ladder.

What round of the playoffs?

Week 1 I reckon the sfs

Week 2 or 3 I reckon ANZ (Last year in week 3 rabbits played manly at anz)

I think would depend who finishes higher on the ladder.

Even if they thought they could sell out Homebush?

Was that not Souths Home Ground Advantage last year?

Manly's fans get rewarded because they don't have to travel as far to watch the game. It's a f**ken long trek to Brookvale from the western suburbs, where most Manly (and Roosters and Souths) fans live.

Nobody in Manly follows the NRL. They'd all follow the Swans, Waratahs and Sydney FC. In fact they probably pick some obscure European soccer team and tell everybody they follow them instead.

 

[Chipmunk]

Even if they thought they could sell out Homebush?

The only 2 teams that could play each other that could even remotely come close to a sell out at Homebush in Week 1 of the Finals is Parra v Dogs...

 

[Maroubra Eel]

So what if it was 1.Dogs vs 4.Roosters?

Would this be played at SFS?

I doubt it. ANZ surely

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Would they want a half empty ANZ or a packed out SFS?

 

[Chipmunk]

Would they want a half empty ANZ or a packed out SFS?

The NRL or the Dogs

The Dogs are use to playing at Half Empty ANZ Stadium. I doubt they'd miss a beat.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I hope Manly do finish on top and Roosters 4th just to see what happens.
