That unusual commodity Common Sense has prevailed and the power brokers at the NRL have listened to the public and rescheduled the timing of the second Preliminary final featuring the premiership favourites Melbourne Storm and their yet to be decided opponent on Sunday 25 September.
The game was scheduled for a 7.50pm kick off at Suncorp Stadium which would have clashed with the AFL grand final played in Perth.
In a decision where the wishes of sports fans were for once put first, the small change to the NRL schedule will provide the best outcome for not just Melbourne fans but those in all States.
Well done Andrew Abdo, Peter V’landy’s and of course the all-important broadcasters.
