Not really …the ground has been shit the last few weeks chopping up and looking disgusting and dangerous to play on …they are obviously giving it time to recover from having 50 games on it in like 3 weeks

Been confirmed that we play Friday night at 7:50pm on the Sunny Coast. Typical NSWL putting the two $hitney teams, who finished below us on Saturday night. We deserve the prime time slot on Saturday night, because we finished on top and deserve a bigger break!!

Disagree here.

Friday night 8pm is a prime time slot.
We get an extra days rest on Manly
We don’t have to travel.

Lots of positives for us in the week 1 schedule…

I agree with you Sunshinecoaststormer, except, I'm working Friday and not Saturday night! Oh well, life of a shift worker...
I 'll take the victory wherever it's played
Could this be the year when Melbourne win both G/F's?

They were always going to put the two Sydney teams on Saturday night for prime time ratings but I don't care. We have a lot going for us on this given where it is going to be played.

The issue with finishing first is that if you win and make it to the prelim you play on the Saturday night so that's a day less rest into the grand final than the other prelim
