Manly to play at ANZ

[1969]

The NRL was planning a double header for the semis at Alliance, but the AFL booked a Swans match, so looks like we will get our "home semi" at ANZ. Here are the scenarios if the favourites win this weekend:

SATURDAY: Manly Sea Eagles (6th) v St George Illawarra (7th) at ANZ Stadium (double-header)

Crystal Ball has illuminated

It will be Manly Sea Eagles v Decidedly Gummy Sharks on Saturday of Finals Week 1

(Panthers will be playing Cowboys in the Double Header)

The double header is actually a very good idea (I'm almost gobsmacked), will get a great crowd and without giving too many tickets away.
