Slayer!

Tell me where Wests were supposed to put a third field? The entire precinct is Council land for a start. I agree with you on the turf, but the fact is that they built the clubhouse/stand for the money they had - turf you can always do later but it's pretty hard to build a bigger building once you're done.Yes the second field. If you’re not playing on it. Otherwise it’s the carpark or Memorial Park. Pretty poor foresight by the planners, not to mention the state of the turf that has been widely discussed on this forum. So the premiers get no home finals; a shame for their club.
Finals is chosen by the QRU on the basis of expressions of interest from the clubs, which are then compared - so there's a heap of considerations apart from just number of fields.
Wests have a club that is the envy of every other Prem Grade club (as far as infrastructure goes), now second only to Ballymore.
(Although don't get me started on them being a Rebels feeder club. That is simply beyond the pale...)
