The Wests Tigers will hold a board meeting on Monday to discuss the club’s stadium strategy and are not in a position to commit to playing any games at Leichhardt Oval.

The Wests Tigers have refused to commit their future to Leichhardt Oval despite reports of a $50 million government pledge to redevelop the iconic suburban ground.

The Tigers intend to announce their stadium policy for the next three years in mid-June, with the club unlikely to commit to playing games at Leichhardt Oval before being provided with a breakdown of where the funds will be used and how it will benefit the game day experience. One of the first things Bennett will do is make changes to the club’s high-performance staff. Then he will look at the playing roster. As it stands, the Rabbitohs don’t have much wiggle room in the salary cap.

This masthead understands the opportunity could result in the NRL owning 20 to 50 per cent of the Super League.
