It’s the argument that happens at this time every year. Week 1 of the Finals can be played anywhere at the discretion of the teams who finish 1, 2, 5 & 6th

I can see both sides of this argument.

Because our home is Accor, any game we get to play at home in Finals is played at the big stadium.

I can see why teams like the Sharks & Manly want to play on their field. Purely from a home ground advantage aspect. I also see it that they are locking out their own fans as well though. If the player at a bigger stadium it keeps more fans happy and also creates more revenue for the game.

Like you said it’s about keeping fans happy why would they lock out 30K or more.
This is suppose to be a showpiece of our game the finals series but management happy to play at suburban grounds in Sydney doesn’t make sense.

It's not really a question it has to be A, don't want to play Melbourne until the big dance and hope they have some brutal games on their way to the GF

Hopefully that means we beat the Cowboys next week as they beat us in round 20. Then we avoid Manly altogether and will play either Knights or Phins.

even playing the Phins would be a huge challenge.Their strike power in the backs is unbelievable!

I think, regardless of what scenarios we face, we need to win to maintain confidence in the playing group.

I've liked this team as much as my favourite dogs team, 1995. Funnily enough, we smacked the Cowboys in the last round at home and then began our assault on Saints, Brisbane, Canberra, and eventually Manly. May the smacking of the Cowboys bring us luck in the month ahead!

As for the poll, I have to go with A, and just hope Cleary is unavailable/underdone. I have no interest in playing Melbourne for a chance to get into the grand final with Cleary rested/acclimatized another week. Also, much prefer Newcastle to the Dolphins as a week 1 matchup. You never know what a Bennett team is gonna do in the finals, and their backline is class...

Yeah I agree. I am worried about the Phins as well and that crafty old fox Bennet lol. They have also shown they can travel and win.

But then I have had these worries before with the Dogs and they won. I don't think our position on the table is fake. We have earnt it with solid defense. We also can put on some good attack.

I think we are more consistent than Phins and Knights. They have a bad game in them more than the Dogs. So I think when the pressure is on we will be able to control the game more.

No matter what team we play in the first semi, we should have a full side for the first time in a few weeks so we will be back in the groove and ready. Maybe even not worry too much about the Cows game and rest a couple of players so we are ready for the first semi.

It's OK. Unlike Hasler, Cirro has a plan B..... and probably a 'C' as well.
