The problem with Newman's comments are that in a crowd of around 90,000 people tonight (and the crowd tomorrow night) you only need a few people to start booing during the 'Welcome', and then for others to take them to task and the whole thing could turn into a something really ugly.
Do we want to see a week leading up to the grand final where the headlines are all about the booing rather than the football.
