Souths Vs Roosters

[MWSE]

You guys arent considering the week after. If 1v4 plays on Sunday then the loser of that game will play the following Friday night with a 5 day turn around.

In fairness to all teams (not a given in the NRL, I know), shouldn't it be this?

Melbourne vs Souths/Easts on Friday
Manly vs Souths/Easts on Saturday

What is almost as stupid as the 2nd placed Team playing two days earlier than the 6th, is the choice of Venue for the double header.

ANZ is 85k and Allianz is 40k capacity at best - so Greenturd announces the 'innovation' of playing a Finals Double Header at Allianz :huh:
