I agree, although penrith built their own CoE on their own many years ago, before every club started pilfering off the govt/councils teet for one...
The upgrade will not only extend the stadiums capacity, but also include the lack of wheelchair access and womens facilities, as they are preparing for thier NRLW team to enter in the next few years..
