The NRL saw the fumblers had scheduled their final at Homebush on Saturday night , so they did too
The Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs V the Manly Waringah Sea Eagles ( a monster final )
Accor Stadium 7.50 Sat Sept 14th
100 metres apart
same time
what was it about thse codes co exisiting
Dumb dumb strikes again. lol
NRL is not avoiding the Clash with Giants because they think they will lose or anything..
they Know Cowboys Fans always prefer a Saturday night due to hot conditions
and they know NRL Game will be attended better and tv ratings higher for the 4pm sunday slot.
Good Move.
anyone who thinks the NRL is avoiding the Grants is a clueless knob ( aka Bea Arthur) all this media & social media garbage claiming the 3 events
NRL @ Accor ,
Grants @ Engie &
30 seconds to Mars concert @ Kudos Arena ...
all on in the precinct at the same time would be a logistical nightmare are ridiculous
NRL 50K
Grants 15K
concert 15K
thats the same number who attend origin or the GF & theres never a problem
I recall years ago when the GF & a concert at Kudos were on at the same time , so over 100K at Olympic park & it made no difference.
There will be some other " scheduling " issues coming up however in the coming weeks for both codes ..
depending on results , both NRL finals could be at Allianz Stadium next week , over the Friday & Saturday nights
winner of Cowboys /Knights V loser of Melb V Sharks ..... week 2 could possibly be at AAMI , but more likely Allianz , on the Friday night
Winner of Bulldogs V Manly V Loser of Penrith V Roosters .... possibly Accor , but more likely Allianz on the Saturday night
At this stage the Swines prelim is set down for the Friday night at the SCG next week ..... They could move to 3pm on the Sat arvo though & avoid a clash with the NRL , like they did in 2022 in exactly the same scenario
If the Storm went through to host the prelim in melb , at this stage it would be on after the AFL GF on the Sat night
now this happened in 2009 & while I don't think it would prevent a sellout at AAMI , it would be very busy with 130,000 people either leaving or arriving at games around the same time.
So lets hope the NRL repeat what they're doing in this first week of finals & move a Storm Prelim in Melb to the Friday night
