wow
The NRL almost always schedules Nth Qld finals on the Saturday night if they're played up there in September
its extremely hot & humid
It was a strong possibility of there being elimination finals in Sydney & Nth Qld for a while , & the thinking was they'd play the Sat night one in Townsville , but no
The NRL saw the fumblers had scheduled their final at Homebush on Saturday night , so they did too
The Grants V ....

....

Idk , & like most north of the murray .. don't care
Engie Stadium 7.30 Sat Sept 14th
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
wow
what was it about thse codes co exisiting

Can the Giants sell it out ?
if they do. which i think they will.
(be a few thousand Lions fans there.
AFL would consider that a win
(interesting fact seeing GWS ratings in NSW

looks like the media reports were wrong ... The NRL won't do what fumbleball did & change their finals schedule
They have rightly moved the 5V8 final to Saturday night , 6V7 is Sunday.
The AFLOL will give thousands of tickets away , thats the only way they'd fill the showground with no Vicdumbian side playing

Rubbish.
Like other AFL clubs, digital memberships for Kayo are separate offers.

The CEO of the giggles & singlets called PVL yesterday
pweeaassee
pweeaaaseeee Mr Vwandys
can you move your final , the Grants couldn't fill a phone box if there was nothing else on let alone a big NRL final next door
Pwweeaasseeee
apparently the Knights & NRL players association were on the war path early ... nope ... not happening
Our Players are not playing at 4pm Sunday in 36C heat & 90% humidity
otherwise the NRL would have squished the Grants & fumbleball

all fumbler members get kayo for free , part of the media rights deal
& again
the aflol will have to , & will... give out thousands of freebies to try & fill the showground ... with no vicdumbian team playing & only a few thousand coming in from Brisbane & Melb for the wions
they couldn't fill it for a prelim in 2019 with a Melbourne team playing , so they'll rig it for this final

The 2019 prelim was at the MCG not the Giants home stadium asif.
I think you need to get your facts straight.

The 2016 prelim was GWS vs the bulldogs in one of the greatest games ever.
It sold out very quickly even though half the stadium was bulldogs supporters...
