Actually I follow pretty much all sports including NRL and union. So how do you explain to someone why these things matter?

I loved playing baseball, football, and even backetball, but never liked watching people I don't know play. I don't really get the whole thing...but pretty obvious a sports fan that has been watching the whole season is going to want to see the finals.

If someone couldn't understand that, I wouldn't even try to explain it to them.

It's a tradition going way back....though I wouldn't be sitting in the stands.
