Canberra Raiders can host NRL grand final qualifiers at Canberra Stadium
Finals footy returns to Sydney suburban grounds in 2019

The prelim news is the best thing there. It was total **** madness to insist that Canberra and Newcastle can use Sydney grounds as 'home' venues (and for that matter, the Titans using Suncorp).
Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just the train that's about to hit you.

If the Raiders qualify for a home preliminary final, they will play at Canberra Stadium until at least the end of the 2022 season. Raiders chief executive Don Furner said he will push to have it made permanent.
"We're not going to get a grand final here, but to get to the third week has been a couple of years of lobbying."
