Opinion Money talks - why the NRL grand final will be held in Sydney

Watching Peter V’landys answer media questions on the stadiums fiasco, it is clear the ARLC chair is highly skilled at being elusive with interrogators, while appearing candid. But when he says the NRL grand final will likely be played in Sydney to honour an agreement with the NSW Government, he is being selective with the truth.

This range reflected the support of the two teams in the grand final. For example, a Storm versus Sea Eagles decider would yield less than the Dragons versus Eels. From 2019 onwards, the NSW Government stopped paying the fee because of a signed agreement with the ARLC to make a significant spend on new stadiums in Sydney. However, in order to compensate for the loss of the $4m, the NRL financial boffins negotiated a charge to each of the Homebush stadium gold pass members reserving seats. Up to 2018, the NRL received nothing from the 15,000 to 20,000 gold pass holders.
