I don't like Matt Cecchin as a ref, but bugger me, he's 3 times better than Ash Clown.
Thank * one of my teams can win a final.

9 will be happy with a 100k in Melbourne and the AFL GF copping a bath in NSW and QLD.
Such a pity to have to choose one over the other.

VICs don't want to see Melbourne lose to Parra again
This is no arrogant by the NRL. I literally have no words how selfish this is..

They've cost themselves 400k viewers in Victoria alone I think.

They do, but then the AFL could've started the game at 2.20 or 3.20 in Perth too.

And you honestly think the NRL will change their schedule...when did you want the game to be held and don't say Sunday. One prelim is always Friday and one is Saturday...and whether you like it or not a Souths prelim will rate its chops off on a Friday night!

NRL was never changing from a night game. One was always on a Friday and one on a Saturday. 9 would have had the choice which one rates higher and in these times that's fine.

Don't underestimate Penrith. They are a different side with Edwards and Leota (the prop/backrower) back. Plus they will bash each other senseless, Souths benefit from the soft draw.

No
Penrith didn't get the calls they get and it showed v Souths
They have been kissed on the D for a few years now by the certain Refs
Storm should be $1.40 to win it

They are a different side with those two key players back. Look do I expect Penrith to win it, no. Feel their attack has been clunky the last 6 weeks. However if they are $3 pus in that game I'll be definitely having a go, that is assuming those two are back. They won't win if Edwards isn't back, Staines is horrible!

No doubt they have a chance if the ball bounces there way (Refs)
The winner of that game will win the comp

Depends, have to say Souths impressed me more than I thought. Forward pack stood up and that was like the first time all year. I hope it's a souths- penrith final as the two coaches hate each other now lol

LOL!
Expecting the NRL to have a twilight prelim...it's an awful times slot for games. Game was always going to be at night.
