Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2704991, member: 8274"] Facetiousness aside, we should bear in mind going into this game that in terms of things to gain from the Grand Final, the Roosters probably offer the NRL the least of the 4 remaining sides. Allianz Stadium has been consistently empty all year, even despite the Rorters being contenders from the word go. Someone would have noticed. Melbourne offer yet another chance to expand the game in Victoria which will be a juicy prospect but the NRL might also suspect that yet another Storm premiership wouldn't make for interesting headlines. Plus the disdain that fans have for Melbournes style of footy won't have gone unnoticed either. Brisbane and Cowboys haven't been there for 8/9 years respectively, the Cows have never won a Premiership, J.T is nearing retirement age, Hodges is already retiring and could potentially retire as a premiership winning Captain, something even Locky couldn't do, if we win the Premiership Cozza will probably call it quits on a high as well, Wayne Bennett has returned to Brisbane and 1 year later led them to a GF and then last but not least the T.V and merchandise revenue gold mine that the state of QLD would immediately become in the leadup to the first all QLD Grand Final in NRL history. I invite you, Gentlemen, to make like Newton and do the Math. [/QUOTE]
