The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[SLRBRONCOS]

in your opinion…

record crowds, ratings and revenue says otherwise

Of course, a discussion board on the internet is 90% opinion based is it not? But my point still stands, the NRL has been cutting its nose of to spite its face for some time - if the Raiders want a new stadium, empty threats could help. I started my sentence with "I know it won't happen" anyway, so I'm not sure why it triggered you into a debate on this Friday morning.

edit: spelling

Sounds to me like you are the one triggered over my one liner

A lot of the NRL's 'success' at the moment is purely because of how accessible it is. We all know that the current product is pretty trash

Outside of the Melbourne and Penrith dominance (which I'm so f**king done with) I thought this season has been pretty good overall. Much better than in previous years.

Yeah this season has been great. We’ve had a lot of close games, it’s been unpredictable to pick the winner. There’s been a lot of drama and interest The nrl is constantly in the news. We’ve had a different mix of teams at the top of the table.

Even still it looks like the finals will again be dominated by Penrith and Melbourne. Hoping at least one of them (Penrith) doesn’t make it to the GF this year and we have some fresh blood.

There's a crop of teams - Warriors, Bulldogs, Dolphins particularly - that haven't regularly been in contention in recent years, BUT could kick-on in the next few years and threaten the established strangle-hold that the Panthers & Storm have had. Heck even the Raiders having a great season so far has been a surprise when most were expecting them to drop away like the Roosters have (or worse!)

The next few years are gonna be interesting..

Western United have been dumped from the A Leagues and will no doubt fold. That 15k stadium in western Melbourne looked great but was never going to happen.

Rezoning for Broadmeadow near the stadium and Knights COE is complete. Will be interesting to see how much the area changes in 10-20 years. Hopefully an upgrade to the stadium as well at some point.

I think the Sharks have hemmed themselves in too much at Shark Park. I would like to see the Sutherland Shire (Australia’s biggest region for junior sports participation) get an overhaul of its offering.

Shark Park to become a centre of excellence housing the Sharks, Southern Districts and Sutherland Sharks FC.

Then NSW Gov’t to get on board with backing of governing bodies and Westfield for a similar stadium to Commbank at Seymour Shaw, just down the road from Miranda Train Station. Easy public transport access. Lots of amenities nearby at Westfield for pre and post match activities.

Need to bring Sydney RL into the 21st century.

Good idea Stephen. Any bikinis involved?

You're an ideas man, Stephen.
