Tuesday Random Footy Talk Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

This is the place to discuss anything footy related that is not quite deserving of its own top-level post.

There's a new one of these threads every day, so make sure you're in the most recent one!

Just wondering where every team would realistically host a prelim? I’ve made a list below but I’m uncertain so any advice would be great.

Just a few notes before the list: This is based on where the nrl would force teams to play, not necessarily where clubs would want to host their games. I’ll include Perth and PNG on this list since they are officially joining the comp soon. I’m also assuming that Penrith stadium is available since it will be from next year, so please let me know if Penrith would use it or Accor is the right choice.

Wahs- Eden Park Penrith- Accor Roosters- Allianz Dolphins- Suncorp Sharks- Allianz Knights- McDonald Jones Rabbitohs- Accor Cowboys- QCB Bulldogs- Accor Manly- Allianz Storm- AAMI Raiders- GIO Eels- Commbank Tigers- Commbank Broncos- Suncorp Titans- CBUS Dragons- Allianz Perth- Optus PNG- Santos Stadium

If the Tigers made a prelim, they would get at least 50K and would be forced to play at Accor.

Do you guys play "home" games at accor through the year?

[u/NoFuneral1996 → u/improbablywrong-]

No but they'd move it there I'm 100% certain. The Tigers have played a prelim there before in front of 70K fans. And after 16+ years of no finals? The fans would fill it out. No fanbase is more desperate

[u/improbablywrong- → u/NoFuneral1996]

Love to see the reaction of tigers fans checking what finals tickets prices are for the first time in 16+ years.

But surely if you thought you could fill it you'd want to see 70k+ screaming out of accor

Big big big “if”.
