Primarily a clear blue sky day with occasional sightings of cirrus uncinus.

Surely it was raining though? We always win in the rain.

I was being deliberately mischievous just like Fat Boy earlier in response to the OP's failure to qualify which GF he was referring to. The Grand Final I attended in 2004 was in fact the NRL version and I don't recall it raining at any stage of the proceedings. A very pleasant sunny day prior to kick off with wispy high-altitude cirrus formations which I concluded were of the uncinus variety. Occasion marginally spoilt for me somewhat by the appearance of two NRL teams in the GF I'm not particularly fond of.

The only SL Grand Finals I've attended were in 1998, 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2007. My lack of attendance since 2007 mirrors my dismay at the rapidly declining playing standards in SL since the mid 00's along with several other factors which has resulted in my lack of enthusiasm ever since.

Yet you still post on message boards to do with the game without fail. I think this may be the fifth time I've asked, if the whole set up annoys you, upsets you, angers you, displeases you, why do you bother to watch it at all? It's like watching a tv series and complaining you hate all the episodes as they're all low quality, you'd just stop watching it.

I've got a copy if you are still interested, pm me.

I have most finals - uk & aus - back to the 60's, plus others
