It is patently unfair that the ACT's Canberra Stadium is unilaterally denied the opportunity to host any preliminary final awarded to the Raiders under the rules of the National Rugby League as they currently stand.

Despite its status as the national capital, Australia's only city state and the home to one of the best-educated, most affluent, fittest and sports-loving populations in the country, this city gets lumped in with Newcastle and Wollongong on the NRL's shortlist of second-class metropolises.
One can only assume that, as with those two cities, the NRL is of the view that a major match played here would only yield attendances and gate takings on a par with what could be expected in a Newcastle or a Wollongong.
Given our population is now nudging the 400,000 mark and the Raiders have a strong out-of-territory following across southern NSW, this is a big call on the part of Mr Greenberg and his colleagues.
Our message to the NRL executive is that if you let Canberra host it they will come.
Canberra Stadium, which has hosted more than 200 Raiders games since becoming the team's home ground in 1990, is an excellent venue that lacks many of the access, parking and other issues that plague stadia elsewhere.
It is also capable of drawing and accommodating a decent crowd, albeit not necessarily one on the same scale you would see at the MCG.
When the Raiders met Western Suburbs for a Round 21 clash in 1994, in what was Mal Meninga's final home ground appearance, 25,253 people turned out to pay their respects.
They also got to see a great game of football. Canberra wiped the floor with the westie interlopers, cleaning them up 40 points to 22.
Even the former venue, Seiffert Oval of fond memory to fans of a certain age, managed to squeeze in 18,272 spectators in Round 12 of the 1989 season.
Our valiant lads, for the record, sent the battered Broncos packing, smashing them 27 points to six.
Given the gratifying record of achievement clocked up by the Raiders since the start of the 2016 season, the question of whether or not a "home ground final" can be played here is not nearly as academic as it has been in recent years.
The team is on a roll, the fans are rewarding the players with huge levels of support and at this stage it is not vain to hope they repeat some of the stunning achievements of the past such as the Grand Final victory over Balmain in 1989.
Andrew Barr has done well to throw his weight behind the campaign to have this draconian, unsporting and unjust regulation overturned.
This is an idea whose time has come.
