Why didn't the NRL schedule the chooks semi on a Sunday afternoon to give us a 7 day turnaround? Chooks get 8 days, we get 6. Not fair.
6 day turnaround
- Thread starter silvertail
- Start date
No worries... 2 more days for pressure to build on Chooks!
Everyone has said all year they have bought the best roster, yet face getting knocked out in straight sets.

The seven day break would have been good.
The Roosters however, would then have a nine day turnaround.
Swings and roundabouts.

The Bold and the (Not-so) Beautiful was asked about the difference in turnaround time in the presser and said he was fine with it. Roosters finished higher and probably deserved it. We don't care or feel aggrieved in any way. We're just going to get on with it. Which strikes me as exactly the right attitude to take.

Sooner the better, we can ride the emotion of the win into next weekend 💪🏻

And now NRL has decided Storm vs Manly/Easts will also be 6 days after this Saturday night's game.
Manly will have to go into 1978 mode. The grand final replay was Manly's sixth game in 24 days.

Short turnarounds and the players staying in camp really galvanizes the squad. I must say that 1978 came to my mind as well.
The bigger issue is the Friday night game, there will be lucky to be 20 people there. You have the swans at 7:40 at the SCG, something that has been known is happening for 2 weeks now, and you have the Cowboys and Sharks at 7:50 at Allianz. I literally could not even fathom trying to get out there as a Sharks fan or Cownoys fan
Its going to be a **** show out there trying to get there will be impossible, nowhere to park, transport absolute chaos well done to all involved in the planning

Roosters get the advantage here and for what reason. It feels like if you fail in week one of the finals you get the raw end of the stick abs week 2 should be home final for the team that got the win.
Either way I thought the NRL had really started to come good when they got rid of the major stadium **** show
Nothing like staying/being battle hardened.

Bulldogs tragic living in heart of Manly-Warringah
Your team would be battle hardened from that game mate, it’s never easy winning games like that. Was deffinetly one of the most hostile crowds in recent years,fiery rugby league at its best. Politics Poultry is nothing to be intimidated by
