The Raiders can only now finish in second or third position.

If the Raiders finish second, Week 1 of the finals will be against the Sharks at Canberra Stadium.

If the Sharks finish second, Week 1 of the finals will be against the Sharks, likely at the Sydney Football Stadium. The Olympic Stadium is the only other option.

If the Storm finish second, Week 1 of the finals will be against the Storm at Melbourne Park.

The Raiders will only play in Week 2 of the finals if they lose in Week 1. This match will be at Canberra Stadium.

If the Raiders win in Week 1 of the finals, they will progress to Week 3 and that match will be played in Sydney at the Sydney Football Stadium or the Olympic Stadium.

If the Raiders lose in Week 1 of the finals and win in Week 2, the preliminary final could be in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Townsville, depending on other results.

Yes they do, but they're likely on the corners or at the ends.

If current top 8 didn't change and Raiders win in Week 1 our only possible opponents in the preliminary final would be Storm, Cowboys, Broncos or Titans. No Sydney teams.

Any idea which day 2nd vs 3rd is usually played on?

Do they release this info after the weekends games or can we find this out before?

Is that correct? The sharks don't actually get a home final? That's pretty ordinary.

Only because shark park is about the size of a public swimming pool.

Sydney teams are only able to play their "Home" finals at ANZ/SFS. That's been the case for a few years now.

I don't think it's rough at all. Have you seen the "facilities" at Shark Park recently? It's not fit for a regular NRL game. Let alone a finals match.

So they get priority over non ticketed members?! And compete for tickets in the members buying window?! Extraordinary.

Not really. It wouldn't be so "rough" if their fans weren't so bloody lazy. Oh boo hoo, they might have to drive 50 minutes to get to the game! Oh the humanity!

Meanwhile, if the Raiders get to week three, our "home" final involves the fans heading for a three hour plus trip up the highway. Yeah, tell me again how "rough" things are for Sydney fans.

Plus, Shark Park is a dive. You can't expect fans to travel and pay their money for a bog ordinary viewing experience

There is no way shark park is fit for a final. It is too small for starters. For the last raiders game there was around 15,000 and it was hard to see where you would fit another 5,000. Even at capacity it is not up to standard in terms of size or facilities.

On a train you can be in central in about 45 minutes and most people in the shire would commute that far to work at least. It's not a massive imposition.

How many tickets can you buy per AAN password? Back in 2012 it was 10 tickets per password.

In other threads you complain about Canberra needing a new stadium because the facilities aren't great and haven't been upgraded since the 90's. I think it's terrible that a side finishing second on the ladder doesn't get a home final at all.

Do you grasp the concept of home ground advantage?

Finishing second and moving to a 'home ground' you have played at once this year seems pretty rough to me. You are not as familiar with the ground, routine gets changed and you lose the parochial crowd advantage.

I was at the Raiders v Sharks game. It's a suburban ground, what do you expect?

A finals game there would be absolute cranking. Moving to ANZ or Allianz is a definite disadvantage for them.

I don't complain about Canberra Stadium too much. I think it's a good quality Stadium. It was first built in 1977 though, albeit significantly remodelled for the 2000 Olympics. That means the inners and other parts of the stands (like the roof in the Meninga Stand) are 40 years old. They're knocking down Parramatta Stadium after 30 years to rebuild entirely.

I don't have much sympathy for the Sharks. They play in a very outdated stadium with substandard facilities. The field was built in 1960, the Leagues Club in 1977. The southern stand dates to the late 1980s. But they could play 25 minutes up the road in a real stadium. And that's all they're being asked to do here.

I really don't get why people want to see NRL games played in tiny suburban grounds. We should be trying to build our crowds, offer them good facilities. If people want to go to suburban grounds they can... And see NSW Cup or Canberra Raiders Cup. I do it all the time. But the NRL should be past that.

On the bright side if we do it means they've been beaten by the broncos and the sharks at home in consecutive weeks. Surely that would have to play on their minds. Tough games too.

There is no "usual" times for any of the finals slots, it's decided based on turnaround times from Round 26, as well as stadium availability.

The NRL is in an interesting situation this year with potentially three teams (Tigers, Panthers and Raiders) having turnarounds from the Sunday afternoon. Far as I can tell this hasn't happened before.

This suggests the one match that doesn't contain these three teams (1 vs 4) will be the Friday night game. But if Broncos are 5th and playing the Tigers I don't think Lang Park is available for Saturday is it?

Very interesting indeed. One team may have to cop the short turnaround. I'll bet the NRL is hoping the Tigers lose this weekend.

GE - really a discussion for another time/thread, but you must see that it is at least a little unfair for the Sharks?

In a perfect world the majority of stadiums would have good facilities and capacity but that is mostly on State and Federal Govts. I don't think the NRL has helped matters with having too much focus on the TV product instead of the Gameday experience. You get crowd averages of 15k each and every year then stipulate that stadium need a 40k capacity for finals (not sure of exact figure) just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
