I cant see why they dont use the 3 major Qld stadiums.

I'd be at C-Bus or Suncorp for sure for the Panthers Eels game if it was possible.
Perhaps I can be there for our Prelim against the Storm

I think before the first week of finals they possibly were concerned S/E QLD would go to a snap lockdown?

Not sure thats soley the reason for taking games outback qld, but might have been better safe than sorry mentality. The tv revenue is far more important than risking games being canned. Be interesting if the cluster grows in Sunnybank , what they do with crowds for the GF, probably have a limit of 50% or 75% capacity maybe?

Officials confident Brisbane COVID outbreak 'in hand' despite two students testing positive

Queensland records two new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in students from St Thomas More College, which was linked to a family that tested positive last week.

Id be so tempted to take a flight to Mackay on the morning/lunch time of the match if I was able, and either head back after the game or next morning. Be so worth it if we jagged a win.

I think it provides better atmosphere.

Plus i think the rugby is on this week at suncorp and the crowds have been garbage in Brisbane and GC during the season after relocating for neutral games. I am not sure what the prices for tickets have been up there. But for a state that claims its a rugby league town and takes potshots at crowds in sydney it has been underwhelming.

Also think Brisbane could be on the verge of lockdown at any moment

Yep. Trying to steer clear of SE Qld.

Shame that Cairns hasn't had a couple of games. Barlow Park is a better venue than Rockhampton by a long way.

As much as I dislike Manly, I'd prefer to see them win over the Chooks. The whole adversity thing of not being able to field a team completely packed with rep players and only having a dozen or so of them left fit in the squad is getting on my nerves, and every win makes the over the top media fawning about the bravery they display all the more detestable.

 

[strider]

Yeah im a bit over the chooks tho id still prefer them over most other teams if they do get past manly

My preference for premiers now would be

Eels
Hope the comp is cancelled
Manly
Roosters
Penrith
Souths
Hope the world blows up
Storm

Yet again, another one bites the dust for the Chooks

Roosters hit with finals blow as Sam Verrills receives two-match suspension

Sam Verrills will only play again this season if the Sydney Roosters qualify for the NRL grand final, after the judiciary upholds his grade-two careless high tackle charge.

so many people on social media blowing up about this, comparing this to Jnr Paulo and crying about Jnr not being suspended

red and blue blinkers,

The problem with comparisons being made to show inconsistency is that you need consistency in your comparison to begin with.

If you haven't got that, you're pissing into the wind.

Manly will take care of the Roosters comfortably.

You prefer Manly and Roosters over Penny?

 

[TheParraboy]

If Roosters lose a couple more key players this Manly game, then Tedesco and a couple more go down v Souths

I think we would like to play them in the grand final tbh...
