adamkungl said:Forgetting crowds and other excuses, you can't get past the fact that Sydney is and always will be the home of Rugby League. It started here and should finish every season here.
That is a weak argument. Once upon a time TV's were black and white, but they have since evolved to colour, flat screen, Plasma, LCD and now High-Definition. You don't hear people decrying colour TV because Black and White came first. Things change over time, just because something was done a certain way before doesn't mean that it should continue to be said way. Sure back in the 80's it made sense that GF be played in Sydney as that is where all the teams were located, the landscape has since changed with teams all over the country. The Grand Final has been played at a host of different stadiums in Sydney, changing venues as newer became available, where was the cry of "Tradition" then?
No one is saying that the Grand Final should be taken from Sydney permanatly, it should simply be shared around for the greater intrests of Rugby League.
