Gotta ensure we get the home final and I'm confident we can still take out this title. That said,I don't think having Alessi available for this one would have made much difference in the end.
It's not changing. There has to be some incentive to finishing top of the ladder. Deal with it. I wouldn't say I'm confident, but the quality is still there at the Spartans, particularly on the attacking front. We need to minimise the set piece and keep hammering away at their defence.
In sports in general I'm opposed to final series but if you have one then I think home final makes sense tbf
The incentive is going straight into the final. This is more about season 6 and the Crabs' projected rise. A home final in that circumstance, assuming the Crabs take the Premiership in season 6, is completely pointless. A neutral final at least keeps things interesting.
