Exactly – and that was a 2vs3 game…. But everyone was fine with it being played in a dumpster last year.
But Roosters and the SCG trust put some bait in the media… everyone is mad.
Just insane
It’s annoying that 25,000 fans will be locked out of Shark Park this weekend - but home advantage matters more
That’s ridiculous… it’s Cronulla’s fault that the NRL allowed this? You’re kidding
It’s annoying that 25,000 fans will be locked out of Shark Park this weekend - but home advantage matters more
By the way – that was supposed to be a thumbs up at the end of the sentence…Not question marks!
It’s annoying that 25,000 fans will be locked out of Shark Park this weekend - but home advantage matters more
Shark park needs a significant upgrade… this game should have went to bankwest.
Definitely can’t be Allianz – pretending it’s a sharks home game while the stadium has a roosters logo on it…. That would be just as silly

100% agree.
Finals should be at minimum 25k stadium.
Prelims should be at minimum 40k stadiums

I’m for all finals to be played at big stadiums

Agree with all the above Ken ????

Sorry I forgot it’s September, Dragons don’t go here or know what that is 😛 😂
'We’re better for that taste this year': How the pain of last year's straight sets flameout is powering the Sharks
What do you think of the dragons chances this week DP?
'We’re better for that taste this year': How the pain of last year's straight sets flameout is powering the Sharks
That’s simply not factual.
No sharks fan is demanding the game be played at shark park, there’s a huge blow up that most can’t attend

How did you come to that conclusion from the above?

Im a sharks fan but also a rugby league fan, and to me all finals should be played at the bigger stadiums.
On this occasion, absolutely no to Allianz – otherwise what is the point of home ground advantage…. But nothing wrong with using Stadium Australia or commbank stadium instead.
Crazy of the NRL to lock out 20,000 fans ..

Should be big stadiums from week 1

I don’t think this is Cronulla’s decision to have there, previously always been at Allianz…. The NRL caved to the Panthers last year when they shouldn’t have.
The sharks need a new stadium, even the dump at kogarah got an upgrade… should absolutely get some funding.

Who did the roosters look good against?
Round 27 Talking Points: And then there were eight - the key factors that will make or break finals hopes

ANALYSIS: Cleary and Cogger look ominous as Panthers seal minor premiership & Cowboys bow out, Dolphins down Wahs
I would much rather be the Panthers than the broncos, warriors or storm heading into the finals from the top 4… the whole resting players thing hasn’t worked well for many in the past.
Congrats Panthers – another trophy for the cabinet!!

Not much you could find wrong with Newcastle’s performance today, perfect 80 mins with plenty of energy yet controlled the game the whole way.
A very good side and you’d think they are specials to at least be playing in week 2 – can’t see anyone beating them in Newcastle.

Mike,
I think you’ve nailed it, maybe Roosters and Cowboys 7th and 8th ahead of Bunnies though.
Knights-Sharks Sunday… cancel all other plans for the afternoon!
NRL Power Rankings: Up up Cronulla, down, down the Bunnies and bye, bye Parramatta for another year
So you’re telling me there’s a chance?!

Round 25 Talking Points: Knights turn back clock to glory days, Sharks capable of finals bite, Benji can restore Tigers pride
Well done Knights!
Next Sunday afternoon they will need to double the capacity at Newcastle, on form potentially the game of the regular season with Knights vs Sharks… channel 9 have hit the jackpot for Sunday arvo.
You can feel September is almost here, I might have to make the trip up the M1… mouth watering clash, cannot wait!
ANALYSIS: 'Silly' Latrell facing ban for elbow as Souths unravel - but demand explanation as Knights score on eighth tackle
I wouldn’t have the rabbits in front of the roosters let alone the others above them on the ladder and beating them in the last fortnight… where’s the logic?
NRL Power Rankings: We need to talk about South Sydney (and Parramatta)
I’m with you Rob
