Week 1 - Semi

[pfoti]

If the Dogs finish 1st and Manly 4th, does that mean they will play each other on Sunday 9th Sept at 3pm - ANZ stadium?

Sounds about right. I actually fancy our chances with that scenario.

That would indicate that it goes:
1v4
5v8
6v7
2v3.

The loser of 1v4 has an advantage in week 2 of the longer rest. The loser of 2v3 has a disadvantage of less rest.

The new format has made it a hell of a lot easier for teams 7 and 8 to progress. I dont know that is a good thing do those teams really deserve any easier a draw in the semis?

If the 1 vs 4 scenario occurs we would play them at ANZ where we beat them last time. Still not a great reward for achieving fourth place.
