The NRL grand final will remain in Sydney during the $810m rebuild of ANZ Stadium following an announcement by NRL CEO Todd Greenberg on Wednesday.
Greenberg said it was important to give the NSW taxpayers good return on their investment – the $2 billion upgrade of ANZ and the rebuild of Allianz. "But in saying that, and despite you all wanting to know what the exact numbers are, as you can imagine with any deal like this I'm not going to give you the specifics – they are commercially in confidence.
com It’s that far from the dressing rooms an interchange is needed after the players run out onto the field.
com Seriously, “will remain in Sydney”. Hang your collective heads in shame.
com On another topic, I have followed the AFL trade process and think it could benefit the NRL and the allocation of our junior players and better allow players unwanted by some clubs to move transparently. I know it was thrown out but revisit?
com How much of a backhander did you get to keep it in Sydney
com Surprise, surprise, surprise.
com It never ceases to amaze me just how bad the NRL decision makers are. Choosing a round cricket oval that fits under 50k instead of a state of the we rectangle stadium that fits over 50k...😕
com It'll be nice to be able to do a pub crawl to the game.
com Too stupid for words
com National Rugby League.
com FFS
com astounding decision that will be a monumental failure. obviously money is more important than the fans. another nail for toddy
com $810m is a disgusting amount of money for a stadium rebuild 🤯
com National Comp!?! What a joke. Fans are the loser as a result of this pigheadedness from the NRL. Happy to flog the Origin interstate, but are too one-eyed to have the game played at the World’s best League stadium. Leaving the signature game played at a cricket oval. Shame!
com Let's hope your refs are better next GF 🙃
com Terrible venue for rugby league. Terrible decision. Arrogance personified.
com And once again you show N stands for NSW, not National.
com ... And after the rebuild it is then locked in to the new stadium until about... 2046? Maybe it would have been a great step in the right direction of a 'national game' to allow it to be hosted elsewhere for these 2 years? It ain't going anywhere after that by the look of it!
com Don’t think it will matter if h they don’t improve the attractiveness to the game there could be a lot of empty seats
com What an incompetent organisation.
com Terrible decision. Absolutely terrible fan experience.
com Suncorp Stadium or the new Eels Stadium much better options. Nostalgia aside this is a mistake.
com Gotta give Sydney fans the grand final every year. Queenslanders deserve a chance to experience a grand final close to home even if it is just for a year or two before ANZ is upgraded.
com NRL decision makers - constantly shooting themselves in the foot
com Further evidence you don't give a 💩 about rugby league outside Sydney.
com Why? I’ve never sat in a seat where you can see the whole ground? Was customer experience a consideration?
com Sat on halfway in the concourse on Anzac Day and you feel a long way from play, particularly when it was in the opposite corners. What were $75 tix that day will be deemed platinum tix above $300 for the GF
com I really hope League fans don’t go. Those who made this decision should have to sit in the outer and watch it on the big screen like everyone else. Disgraceful decision
com Strange decision. When Wembley was being rebuilt, the FA moved the FA Cup Final to Cardiff because it made sense as the next biggest and best stadium. Why choose the SCG over Suncorp? It is smaller and a poorer gameday experience for the fans.
com Roosters get a home ground GF for the next three years....🤭
com What an awful place for the games center peice
com The SCG should never host Rugby let alone a GF, I have been and it's one of the worse experiences to witness. If all tickets are $50 then it will make some sense
com Good stuff.
com The true home of rugby league. The Grand Final never should have left this wonderful venue. Anybody that believes the shell of a ground in Queensland with no history whatsoever is an alternative has no idea about sport.
com good
