We could get massively shafted week 2

[weplayforprems]

Obviously we all hope to win tonight so my following point is moot.

But if we lose our “home” final will almost certainly not be at home.

It almost has to be Saturday 21st because they won’t give the Dogs or Manly a 5-day turnaround.

But the Wallabies play at the SFS that day at 4pm.

Unless they break tradition and let us play a Sunday semi (not ideal) we could potentially be “hosting” the Dogs at Accor or Parra.

The Swans might also have a home prelim that day at the SCG.

Am I crazy or is this a real clash that could screw us?

Wallabies play at Accor. The Swans Prelim is likely Friday

[weplayforprems]

Oh damn. I had it in my head they were at the sfs! Delete my stupidity pls mods!

You're on the right track though.

We lose, we play Sat night 21st at home.

We may have dodged a bullet because on the Fri night 20th the Swans host at the SCG.

Should the Sharks lose this week as expected, then they will be playing Fri night too next door at Allianz - double header

Ok.

We'll get 2 6A. One in the 39th minute when we are well and truly in our own quarter or half with virtually no time left. And then he'll give us 1 (or 2 ) in the 79th minute if we're down by 20 points. Just to even up the ledger.

If the match is tight expect more penalties to go against us. Also their forward passes and knock ons will be let go,but he'll pull up all of ours.

Klein m/o when reffing us.

We are being massively thrashed week one.

We are being massively thrashed week one.

All entirely predictable.
