Minor premiers Penrith want the honour of opening the finals series at their suburban fortress even if it puts them at a disadvantage against potential rivals Melbourne or Parramatta, who would have two extra days of recovery.
But Panthers Group chief executive Brian Fletcher said Ivan Cleary’s side is comfortable if the NRL determines the runaway minor premiers must open the play-offs at BlueBet Stadium on the Friday night. The same scenario is also on the cards for the Roosters and Rabbitohs, who could be on a collision course in a do-or-die final eight days after they face off open the new Allianz Stadium on Friday night.The sides will essentially be using their final round clash to vie for hosting rights in a week one final if the Eels sew up fourth spot with a win over the Storm at home. But either the Roosters or Rabbitohs will vault into fifth if Craig Bellamy’s side can win in Sydney.
