    Redfern hosting NRL game(s) this season?

    Hi All, Is this an option you think? Thought of this just now watching the Dogs Cowboys game. Without crowds, it could be feasible and surely would attract a lot of interest from the viewing public to play at such a nostalgic ground.. The only think I could think would be to “block” views...
