Wouldn't the NRL want us in the Grand Final for the revenue it would bring to the game and all the TV ratings?

We all know all the N(SW)RL care about is keeping their unsupporting Sydney audience happy and their idiotic reporters like Bullfrog and Rubbishfield.

Channel 9 care about TV ratings ...
The N(SW)RL care about Sydney teams being successful

The NRL won't see the value in putting the Roosters over the line yet again. They only won a premiership recently, Us and the Cows haven't been there for awhile.

the story of bennett returning "home" and bringing a title north is worth more to the NRL than the roosters winning the comp, again.

10000 broncos & cows fans travelling south for the GF is worth more to sydney tourism than the local jibberers bus'ing over to anz

Facetiousness aside, we should bear in mind going into this game that in terms of things to gain from the Grand Final, the Roosters probably offer the NRL the least of the 4 remaining sides. Allianz Stadium has been consistently empty all year, even despite the Rorters being contenders from the word go. Someone would have noticed.
Melbourne offer yet another chance to expand the game in Victoria which will be a juicy prospect but the NRL might also suspect that yet another Storm premiership wouldn't make for interesting headlines. Plus the disdain that fans have for Melbournes style of footy won't have gone unnoticed either.
Brisbane and Cowboys haven't been there for 8/9 years respectively, the Cows have never won a Premiership, J.T is nearing retirement age, Hodges is already retiring and could potentially retire as a premiership winning Captain, something even Locky couldn't do, if we win the Premiership Cozza will probably call it quits on a high as well, Wayne Bennett has returned to Brisbane and 1 year later led them to a GF and then last but not least the T.V and merchandise revenue gold mine that the state of QLD would immediately become in the leadup to the first all QLD Grand Final in NRL history.
I invite you, Gentlemen, to make like Newton and do the Math.

Exactly a Broncos V Cowboys would be an absolute cracker of a contest and would rate the roof off all around the country.

The problem is, there is no need for the Cowboys and the Broncos. One of those will serve the purposes nicely. And there's more story in "possibly JT's last chance" than a Broncos revival. Having them up against NSW's showpiece side, in a quasi State Of Origin battle, is worth everything to the NRL.

the nrl is probably sick of JT and his whinging. the real star of the future is here and his name is anthony milford. the nrl would love to put his face on the front of everything for the 2016 season

Not to mention Ben Hunt, who is probably the heir apparent to the QLD halfback role.

"Overall, Brisbane have been awarded a total of 87 penalties at home this year, while only conceding 54 all up."
"Both teams are equal on overall penalties awarded this year with an average of 5.8 a game. That puts them equal 13th on the overall NRL list."
interesting we heavily win the counts at home yet are so low overall on penalties "won" compared to the rest of the comp.
