I believe when Parramatta beats Melbourne the Rooters vs souffs game is a dead rubber.
Souffs are Rooters are better off resting all there stars against each other because theres no home ground advantage.....
Whether they finish 6th or 7th means nothing as both teams cant catch Melbourne and both teams cannot be overtaken on the ladder.

No such thing between those two teams
How is there no home ground advantage? Finish 6th you play at home 7th you play away, am I missing something?
To me the Accor Stadium,or the new Allianz Stadium, have no advantage.
Rooters havent played at Allianz Stadium, and South will be playing at Home bush meaning there are loads of tickets forsale .Unlike Shark park or Penrith stadium were there will a massive home crowded advantage,
Fair point. Still an advantage but yes, not as much as some of the other teams home grounds.
Can't lose the first game at your new ground.
Woulda been awful to lose the first game back at Parra even if it was earlier in the season. I rem some Tigers fans at the time arguing they were firrst to sign the lease there and it was now Western Sydney Stadium not Parra stadium... we beat the brakes off those muppets so badly they immediatedly had no care for the place. Nver was and never will be the Tigers or Bulldogs ground even if they chose to take some games there becuase theyre nomads. It was important we won that 1st game. Roosters probably be trying to do the same to Souths.
I have a really ready bad feeling about this 1
