There is room to move, both closer to the ingoals & up. As you can see the current build doesn’t maximise the current available space, with there still being some if the old south hill in front of the stand.

In terms of going closer to the road, this plan was approved prior to the funding for the centre of excellence being taken away. This included additional seating, high performance facilities and offices.

I imagine if they could get the funding, they could get something similar approved again.
Personally if I was the club, I'd be looking at expanding the ET Stand as the priority and even include things like high performance in there, though I can appreciate that big grandstands are expensive & the club has to balance its debt.
Southern stand looks like it could be rebuilt or extended to double current capacity looking at that. Agreed that the Western stand should be the next priority, ideally design it to link up with a new southern stand eventually.
Like I said earlier I’m sure the NRL will be in their corner but it will still be hard to get funding for it.
