    i suppose we should wait to hear something official - Weidler has a history of getting things totally wrong.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    So Canberra doesn't deserve a new stadium either? Fairs fair? Penrith is more a region than a suburb like Manly or Cronulla. It encompasses Penrith City, Blue Mountains City, Hawkesbury Council, Blacktown City, and as far west as Lithgow and Bathurst. The same way Canberra is a regional area...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Who do you support? Obviously not Penrith as your tag suggests. You really sound like someone who says I've got my stadium stuff everybody else, just give them a few scraps to make it look ok. The Penrith region deserves a new modern stadium and associated community facility as much as any other...

    Doesn't work well for Penrith who lose out on a state of the art stadium to get a second rate upgrade of their existing ground. Wonderful!!!! It just screws the Penrith region once again!

    And the government said that they could only do 20k on the existing site hence the paceway site was recommended.

    And you have a totally anti penrith agenda. You have your Commbank and then say everybody else should get half arsed sub standard upgrades.

    A rebuild on the existing site would mean it would be smaller than it is now! The Eastern stand was built before the old Parramatta Stadium, and parts of the Western stand date back to 1967.

    No, it just shows that they wasted $450m on a Stadium they didn't need to be rebuilt especially with Accor within spitting distance. Could have spent the money making improvements at Brookie, Cronulla, Leichhardt etc. like you are stating now with Penrith. But that doesn't suit your agenda!

    I just looked it up - an estimated $88.6m (2021). So it is getting up towards $450m.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Why does Penrith have to pay for a stadium that they don't own? And why should they have to play games in a stadium 35km away? To say it would cost >$400m and can't be justified compared to having 2 tenants at Commbank for $350m doesn't take into account that to build Commbank they took the...

    2022 Grand Final. Penrith v Parramatta

    BS. If it was Penrith v NQ it wouldn't have been suggested.

    But that is the reason they are giving for the change! A Western Sydney GF means we don't get a new stadium in Western Sydney just an upgrade, and 2 half arsed upgrades to clubs in coastal suburbs!

    It really makes sense to penalise Western Sydney for having a Western Sydney GF! Let's reward the also rans. Can't have Western Sydney get ahead can we!

    New stadium - 2025

    It is really good politics to penalise western Sydney because they have a Western Sydney GF. Cant have Western Sydney get ahead of the rest can we!

    So instead of a state of the art stadium at Penrith we get half arsed minor upgrades at 3 grounds. That really makes sense!
