Wests Tigers CEO won't confirm SFS final

[Ed_Reschs]

Just a small issue that all you supporters of 'fortress' Leichhardt as a home venue against the chooks may consider. On their last 12 visits to Leichhardt the roosters have won 10 occassions. The only two occasions they lost were against the Balmain side of 88 and 89.

And when is the last time the Roosters played at Leichhardt?

I am all for the SFS for any other match up, but playing the Roosters there would be stupid, very stupid.

Just to balance the arguement we are not much better at Campbelltown.
8 - 5 to the Roosters at Campbelltown plus one draw. Hardly the team we want to face first week of the semi's at either venue.

We havent been worried about taking cash in exchange for our home ground advantage for the last 5 years. What makes anyone think it will happen now? The game will be played within the Moore Park precinct.

As much as I love Leichhardt, I think we should go to the SFS. The way I understand the ticket sales process is that it is open to ticketed members of both clubs on the Monday before the game (home club members getting no advantage). Leichhardt would sell out on the day and I shudder at the thought of their being a 50/50 split of fans at our home ground, or worst still us being outnumbered. Imagine having to sit next to some rooster or manly bogan in the Latchem Robinson stand!!!!
At the SFS, we will outnumber supporters of any team we play.

If you're correct than Leichhardt won't be anything like Sunday, espcially againts a Sydney side.

whilst we seem to be doing better off the field this year and doing a good job re sponsorship e.t.c and some will say we dont need the money so much now i agree with you trevor i think the game will and should be played at the sfs.if we do play the roosters this might change my opinion,maybe.

 

[glebe_tiger]

i think we should be playing as many games as possible at either of our true home grounds whether it be leichhardt or campbelltown. giving up home ground advantage for ticket numbers is a bit crazy i think. in the end if we progress we will have to play out of those 'stadiums' anyway. i know there are a lot of bandwagoners that will kick and scream about how they couldnt get tickets or people with different economic circumstances that say they will have less chance to obtain tickets if game is held at LO or CS but is a 50/50 crowd split at SFS going to be better then a 50/50 or possible 60/40 crowd split at LO? i dont know. i just think that its imperitive to create a situation that is best suited to our chances of wining and not just satisfying fan numbers.

what a **PATHETIC** post. Wests Tigers have **NEVER** played the Sydney Roosters at Leichhardt. Your stats are based on Balmain matches in the 90's.

Why not go back another 20 years as well.

At least come up with something constructive if you are going to argue a point.

:unamused:

 

[Sincas]

It is was interesting to read Marshall's comments in Sunday's herald and the team's preference for a dry track. One thing that needs to be remembered is that we will either be playing Friday or Saturday night. If we finish second, it will be the 8.30pm game on the Saturday.

The SFS has much better drainage and does not get impacted as much by evening dew as Leichhardt and Campbelltown. It is the best stadium in the country and the surface encourages fast open football.

have you seen it this year? I haven't been a fan of the surface at ANZ or the SFS this year. The grass has seemed too long. Leichhardt was immaculate yesterday.

But i don't think it will come down to playing surface..

 

[Sincas]

the aim is to make it to the grand final and playing @ leichhardt oval will give us the best chance at doing that. It must be held @ leichhardt…no other ground has the same intimidation factor and opposing players hate playing there.

please read pratten parks post so that you can understand we wont get the same advantage from the old girl we could get outnumbered due to members numbers to gain a crowd advantage we need a bigger ground so our large fan base can show up.ayone who went to the sfs for the broncos and saints semis in 2005 know that semis at the sfs is dare i say it even more crazy than the old girl.

Sorry mate didnt read Pratten Parks post. He makes a fair point.

I thought the home side's ticketed members would get an advantage…bugger!

Yeah, it is a good point - Please note that tickets for the NRL Finals Series and Grand Final are sold exclusively through TICKETEK

You are right. It was a pathetic post. I guess some people have a weakness for dressing up in army fatigues at 30+ years of age and chanting Gareth Ellis slogans others people like me have a weakness for statistics. Each to their own.

God forbid someone has an opinion different to yours. For all you tragics, get over it and get on board the SFS Express

Play it at Jade Stadium to exclude all the povos who couldn't afford a flight to Christchurch.

If you can't afford a plane ticket you barely qualify as a human being

but to be fair sincas i think it was more to do with the roosters rec ord at the old girl as opposed to the balmain or the now wests tigers.

I feel the need to stick up for Sincas in this instance. All Sincas did was correct Ed with FACTS. Everyone is open to their own opinion but when only half the facts are presented to prove a point then that person is open to be corrected, especially when the facts used originally are from 22 years ago! What I think is tragic is that the same person who was proved wrong to attack another member's passionate support for a player in the team. Some people here dead set need to grow up.

Sorry, but what Ed provided was factual, it's just the interpretations were different. Ed has taken a purely quantitative view that was correct.

A record at a ground is still a factual record. Easts have won 46% of their games at Leichhardt since 1934\. On a statistical basis, the ground is not too daunting for them.

 

[Chris]

Let's look at the "Wests Tigers" record at Leichhardt not Balmain's

2010 Played 3 Won 3 (Canberra, Nth Qld, Cronulla)
2009 Played 3 Won 2 (Melbourne, Nth Qld), Lost 1 (Penrith)
2008 Played 3 Won 1 (Gold Coast), Lost 2 (New Zealand, Cronulla)
2007 Played 3 Won 1 (North Queensland), Lost 2 (Manly, Souths)
2006 Played 3 Won 3 (Melbourne, Manly, Souths)
2005 Played 3 Won 2 (Manly, Souths), Lost 1 (Melbourne)
2004 Played 4 Won 4 (Manly, Parramatta, Melbourne, Souths)
2003 Played 5 Won 1 (Cronulla), Lost 4 (Canberra, Brisbane, Manly, Souths)
2002 Played 5 Won 3 (Parramantta, Northern Eagles, Melbourne), Lost 2 (Penrith, Souths)
2001 Played 6 Won 3 (Melbourne, Nth Qld, Northern Eagles), Lost 3 (Parramatta, Dragons, Cronulla)
2000 Played 7 Won 5 (Auckland, Canberra, Penrith, Northern Eagles, Cronulla), Drew 1 (Parramatta), Lost 1 (Nth Qld)

You tell me where in that list the Roosters appear in any shape or form. If you want or anyone want to carry any facts before 2000 you are dead set kidding yourself. Sincas was talking about more recent times and this shows that the Roosters have never played at Leichhardt against the Wests Tigers so Ed's "FACTS" are pointless and only used to push his PATHETIC argument.

Ok. I will just post my previous post:
