I personally believe the GF will go to either Maitland or Westy. However, If the distance from Newy to Belmont is an issue, then surely the same applies to Maitland, Cessnock, Singo, Blacksmiths, Toronto, Thornton and Westy (to a lesser extent). Therefore I wouldn't rule out Zico and his mob running it at Wanderers. They have run them successfully in the past I believe, albeit in some other competition.
I know the players wouldn't complain about it being at Magic but I'm a firm believer that it should stay in the NBN to assist a club who is putting in the effort. I personal would like to see Maitland get the Grand Final and I'm 100% against the fed giving Westy a hand out with hosting rights. The facilities were not up to scratch when I was there early this season and it would take a massive change to get them ready.
