Home Semi?

Hypothetical; if we finish 6thn dogs 7th then where would the home game be played? I'm thinking parra would have the option between the two..

  • It will be played at ANZ, no choice from Parra.

    • So apart from Warriors and Storm who actually do get to play at their actual home ground then?

      Cowboys capacity wouldn't be that much greater than ours would it?

      They may as well make it a rule that all Semis are played at the same location if only some teams benefit.

    • This all came about after 2009 when we played the Dragons at Kogarah in week 1 of the finals.I don't think it was changed straight away but all finals are played at the biggest grounds in the region.So all Sydney Allianz/ANZ Brisbane Suncorp etc.

      When you talk about the money side of things I am pretty sure that any money made from the game i.e gate takings are split between the teams

    • I would call that an outside chance, Benedict, not a reasonable one.

  • Brett I think it was changed last year.Manly played their 1st final at Allianz I only remember it cause there was such a small crowd
  • Nah Radradra is cool in Australia. oh you are talking about us playing a home semi final - thats it we are officially fucked now and out of the top 8.

    • C'mon Michael - we have gone from "maybe" getting a top 8 spot to a HOME semi - just waiting for the "Who will the Eels play in the GF?" blog now.

  • 26, 500 is Townsville Stadium and I think they do get a home game. I don't agree with Parra not getting a home game but it is about money not fairness. I guess the other thing is you might not get 25,000 people to a Sydney venue for a cows final but you will probably get 35,000+ to ANZ for an Eels final 

    • Yes it's about money.So for e.g if it's Cowboys 5th v Dogs 6th they play the game at ANZ ?

      Because using their logic ANZ is a better money earner and bigger capacity.

       

      • Macy, it is 5th v. 8th and if the Cows run 5th they will get a home semi in Townsville. I think this is mainly because you would be lucky yo get $25,000 at ANZ and you will get a full house in Townsville.
