I wonder if there are some rules around selling tickets

Yeah it’s partly NSW’s anti scalping laws. There are big fines to eBay , Facebook etc if people sell tickets over value. So they have just totally shut down all sales

Fair Trading fines eBay for unlawful Grand Final ticket sales

NSW Fair Trading has taken swift action to investigate and issue eBay with multiple Penalty Infringement Notices as a result of NRL Grand Final tickets appearing on the platform in breach of NSW ticket scalping laws.

Edit: Facebook has its own global rules as well. I know Facebook groups can get banned if they allow ticket selling

Unfortunately it's like a lot of things in life at the moment - it's everyone else's fault except the individual.

Facebook should be able to pass on people's data to the police if a law is broken.

Yeah, and I realised after I posted, Facebook has a blanket ban as well globally on ticket sales.

Also eBay may allow some sales, but certainly not like they used to.

It is a shame, I’ve wasted a few tickets this year

He needs to learn that the Sharks come first and foremost….😉

Looks like a lot of effort to sell bloody tickets half the world's population complained about not being able to get!

One of the groups said since buy back was introduced they’d no longer allow ticket sale posts

So with BHU out tonight and Royce starting, how long do you think Fitz will keep him on in his first stint? I’m concerned it’s going to entirely stuff up our bench rotation as I can’t see Royce lasting as long as BHU does.

However, it may give us a chance to get Jack and Tom on the field earlier.

Any thoughts?

Probably something in the vicinity of 19-25 minutes which shouldn’t overly impact our rotations. Won’t worry Jack too much if it’s him that comes on a few minutes earlier
