The run home

[lingard]

That's the spirit champ;-) St George managed to all of a sudden play well in the Berra, so no reason why we cant. My bigger worry is simply that Newcastle are playing good footy, and we may well play good footy ourselves and still lose.

You're not worried about Manly?

Sure....but I was replying to a post that was worried about the other two. I reckon we're in with a shot in all 3 games, but I wouldn't be surprised at any particular combination of results....all are pretty close calls.

Tightest competition in years.

If we win all three we are likely to get a home final first week.

Except it won't be a home final.

 

[strider]

yeah - ANZ is one of our homes

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It'll be in Sydney. That's good enough.

It'll be in Sydney. That's good enough.

Won't help too much if we play the Dogs

 

[Maroubra Eel]

If it's the dogs can we choose to play at the SFS or does the NRL decide?

I think the NRL decides based on which game/stadium they think will draw the bigger crowd.
A Final featuring the Eels vs the Bulldogs - there's no chance it won't be at ANZ.

I doubt they would let us choose SFS and our record against the Roosters there recently I'm not sure that is a good idea.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Sounds fair to me.

Surely though Manly could refuse to play the Roosters at the SFS? That then just makes a mockery of the home ground advantage.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

What home ground advantage would they get playing the Dogs at Homebush?

Who, us or Manly?

Manly will certainly play the roosters at the sfs if manly are 1st and roosters 4th. If they refuse, they forfeit. That won't be happening.

Manly.

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.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

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

 

[Chipmunk]

Manly.

Well they would choose to play it at SFS.
