I could be wrong, but don't they traditionally play any Preliminary finals in Sydney at ANZ?
It depends on the team AFAIK. I believe they get to nominate where their home ground is during the finals.
I know on previous years (semi's and prelim) that Sharks and Manly play at SFS and it's no different this year.
Whereas penrith, tigers, doggies, souths and parra all play at ANZ .
Because it's the Roosters' home ground and they've qualified for the home ground advantage.
BREAKING!!!!
I've been given mail Snake will be attending the final. A rare event.
I've also been told he is getting a special outfit taylor made for the event at considerable expense. I've been given a pic:
Lads, if you're lucky enough to get to the game (I'll be there of course) keep an eye out for him. He'll either be hangin' around Bern in Bar 47 or whatever the f**k it's called or in a glory holed cubice in the male toilets behind the western side stand.
Snake loves his footy :)
I'm considering this little number:
This is what big Al Hunt's wearing. Look for him around 5 minutes into the second half;
