THESE are the images Manly has lodged with the NRL over a proposed new $20m Centre of Excellence at Narrabeen.Manly put forward the submission last Friday in hope that NRL will outlay part of a $40m grant given to them by the State Government.The State Government issued the money to help NSW clubs fund new Centres of Excellence. Nearly all Sydney clubs are vying for a slice of the money, some to upgrade existing centres, others, like Manly, to build new complexes.The Daily Telegraph understands there are more than $100m worth of bids for the $40m grant. Manly plan to build at the Sydney Sporting Academy, Narrabeen, the club’s training base. The Sea Eagles are seeking $10m from the NRL with club owners, the Penn family, contributing the other $10m along with corporate partners.The NRL will meet later this month to discuss club proposals, a process which could take months. If successful, Manly plan to have their Centre of Excellence completed by the end of 2019.“It would have all the state-of-the-art facilities that you would want for the elite athlete - gymnasium, administration, ice baths, recovery rooms, physiotherapists, massage rooms, technology room for GPS tracking, match review rooms, video conferencing, “ said Manly CEO Tim Cleary.“Most clubs are bidding for a piece of the $40m. A lot are wanting to upgrade their current facilities, most clubs do have Centres of Excellence, there’s only a few that don’t. Because of that, we are going for a larger piece of the pie because we have had no previous funding for a Centre of Excellence.“It won’t work for itself unless there is a commercial side to it so there are three components to that commercial side. Education, child care centre and a sports medicine centre. We hope to sub-lease and get money back to pay
