Handing over the shield

[VanillaThunder]

With all the debate going on over the last few days, just thought I'd check in on the forums thoughts about presenting the shield at the end of game 2 when NSW won compared to after game 3?

Personally I'd keep it after game 3, as it's more of a ceremonial close to the series. If they do decide to push it forward then I think they'd have to completely do away with the third game, as it would make it more of a dead rubber than it already is. For comparison's sake look at the Ashes. We'd won after 3, and the boys knew that, but there was no lack of motivation whatsoever to make it 5-0 when we got the urn at the end of the series.
I say keep it, I understand you blokes had to wait 8 years and you were antsy to get your hands on it, but that's just being pedantic.

Stay as it is.

I'm wondering what will ever happen if they hand the shield over and then find a team has 14 players on the field

Shane Hayne?

Depends.
If a team goes 2-0 up in front of their home crowd, they get it then.
If they go 2-0 up in front of an away crowd, they get in front of their home crowd in game 3.

It would be much better, and a good thing for the home crowd to be a part of. You deserve to see your team lift the shield. It wasn't a good look when NSW lifted the shield in front of an empty stadium.

Stay as it is.

You guys had 14th man Shayne Hayne on the field in game 1 and still lost.

I seem to recall in the NRL teams are still credited with the win but have points docked. Plus now it is more tightly controlled. Same thing could happen in a GF.
