Yep, If we beat the Warriors, we may be playing Melbourne in Melbourne.

How the F*** can sides still be getting a home ground advantage in wk 3 of the finals?? This is a bullshit system if that's the case.
I thought only wk 1 & 2 only had home finals?

This is F****D!!!!!

Melbourne are average they are not the same side. They are limping with plenty of injuries. Tigers will be specials. I have won the tipping comp the last three years and have a good eye on form and Melbourne will fear the tigers. My bro is on the coaching panel for Melbourne and he tells me Bellamy fears only one team and that is the tigers

Looks like we're going to have to beat Melbourne on our way to the big dance, Manly turned it up in the second half, the Cowboys have turned it down.

 

[tigergirlz]

Brisbane/Manly/Melbourne win
Next week: Warriors
Week after: Storm

OK. This looks more like the scenario.

 

[Flippedy]

Manly and Brisbane looking ominous. Don't think there will be an upset tomorrow either, so who does that leave us with next week - Brisbane?

Road to the Grand Final-

There are only two possible roads left if we are to make it to the grand final.

One: If Melbourne beat Newcastle tomorrow we have-
Warriors in Sydney next week
Melbourne in Melbourne for the prelim

two: If Newcastle beat Melbourne tomorrow we have-
Melbourne in Sydney next week
Brisbane in Brisbane for the prelim.

So unfortunately, if we do make it to the grand final prelim there is 0% chance it will be in Sydney.

Why are the prelim finals home games!!??

Opening post edited, our path to the grand final is:

If Melbourne win tomorrow:
next week: Warriors @ SFS
week after: Storm @ Etihad/AAMI
GF: Manly/Brisbane/St George

If Newcastle win tomorrow:
next week: Storm @ SFS
week after: Brisbane @ Suncorp
GF: Manly/Newcastle/St George

A few notes
-We have to beat Melbourne before the grand final, just a case of when and where now.
-Our prelim is not in Sydney
-Manly have the week off, play the winner of the St George game next week, the Dragons are away to either Newcastle or Brisbane.
-8 has only beaten 1 twice, in 2008 and 2009 (Warriors over Storm and Parra over Saints)
-Teams 1-4 have never all won in week 1

 

[GNR4LIFE]

so if we play the Warriors next week, which night will it be? I'll assume it will be at the SFS as well

 

[happy_tiger]

[innsaneink]

I'm confused enough by the macintyre system without having to try and decipher gibberish like this

 

[Kul]

Why is it in Melbourne?

Tigers v Melbourne in Syd = 40,000
Melbourne v Tigers in Melbourne = 16,000

Yeah, Logical

Melbourne doesn't even deserve a team let alone a semi final

 

[Golden]

So this now means if storm win tomororw we won't have to play in Melbourne or Brisbane?? we just play the warriors then play Manly?? I hope so!!

If Melbourne win tomorrow we're on their side of the Draw, we play NZ then Melbourne unfortunately.

1 and 2 ranked sides always get the home advantage for 2 games
Golden we will play Melbourne in Melbourne i believe

 

[Golden]

right so we play the storm who are unbeatable down in Melborune. yuuuuuuk yuuuuuk… now we have to hope for knights to win tomorrow

 

[Digeze]

I think the day and stadium is TBA after tomorrows game.

Likely V Warriors next week. They lost Moon to hospital during the game, Mannering re-injured his knee, Sam Rapira was placed on report for a spear tackle, Vatuvei is in the foetal position somewhere after a nightmare game dropping the ball.
