I'm torn between who I want to win this game. Wests winning mean that Wests, Bros and UQ likely guaranteed top 4 spots.......but GPS winning make it an interesting run to finals.

Would love to see them try and use a schools ground in the concept of neutral ground ie like ballymore
Somewhere like Brisbane Grammar at Northgate or Gregory Terrace at Tennyson or Churchie at East Brisbane would be ideal. Could have multiple (2) fields for games and plenty of space for warm ups etc.
In reality they probably have better facilities than most club grounds.

I love Northgate but it'd be a bad option for the final - too far out of Brisbane and nothing much nearby.
The others might work but it'd depend entirely on the schools willingness to co-operate. Particularly dependant on what's happening with cricket pitches at that time of year.

don’t you dare suggest idea for QPR to host a Brisbane based competition playoffs at Bond University.

Because it's significantly more convenient for fans to get to.

M1 on a spring Sunday? Not sure if that is a smart move by QPR.

Pretty much the three worst affected venues in this years rain.
Does not make a huge amount of sense.

What a mess.
Surely there was better options with an intent to keep the whole thing together on each day

The games at Bond are quite perplexing.
I understand they want to share the love, but geez a knockout finals round where majority of the teams playing will likely be coming from the Northside of Brisbane.
The hour and thirty minute drive home after a loss will be a solemn affair no doubt!

I was under the impression that GPS was one of the best managed grounds during the heavy wet weather with resulting little to no effect on the grounds.

Parking at Sylvan Road is a nightmare on any playing day let alone a finals. GPS not much better. Trust the clubs will have a "plan" to appease the locals, the police, players and spectators alike!! Prelims @ Bond Uni - seriously?

the inside gossip hey TF? what is your association to the QRU - all these breaking news scoops

I mean parking at Ballymore isn't ideal either. And parking within 2km of Suncorp is literally non-existent for the Grand Final weekend. That's just life.
None of these clubs are really setup to host massive days, but what is the other option? Drop a rugby field on top of Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and use their carpark?

I can just imagine the committee making these decisions. Probably full of marketing & events people who have no idea on logistics like parking, let alone the playing.
Imagine your Colts 2 team play at Crosby (aka Dettol Park) on Saturday in a game to make the GF and then half of them are asked to go down the M1 on Sunday as their "recovery" to bench for the Colts 1 team.
