This is going to be a truly outstanding stadium - potentially the best for rectangular sports in Australia, from a fans perspective. The rake on the seats is insane - 30,000 fans basically perched on the players shoulders.

and they get to watch Parramatta
There's an irony in there if you look hard enough

Looking amazing. Whoever uses this as a home stadium is going to reap the rewards make no mistake. Attraction of corporates, more fans attending, better atmosphere giving more fta games etc.

Wests and bulldogs want their heads testing if they dont make this their home! The whole eels leagues club argument is such a furphy.

The sad thing about what you say is that there are literally hundreds of stadiums around the world like this. Yes, this will be the best small rectangular stadium in Australia, even better than Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
It's embarrassing that some are still discussing how great grass hills are. FMD.
It also just goes to show how backward we are in this country sometimes and how we have let suburban grounds end up in the current state they are and some fans still find them acceptable.

Tigers should be all over the new WSS, 10 games a year there and 1 each at Leichhardt & Campbelltown as long as they remain suitable.

Once ANZ, Allianz and WSS are done what do people think are the ideal game placements for Sydney, not counting any agreements with Perth, Central Coast, Bathurst, Darwin, Mudgee etc.

Parra - All WSS
Tigers - All WSS except 1 Leichart, 1 Campbelltown
Rabbitohs - All ANZ
Bulldogs - All ANZ
Roosters - All Allianz
Penrith - All Penrith (Maybe a derby at WSS Or ANZ?)
Sharks - All Sharks Park.
Manly - God knows.
Dragons - 8 Wollongong, 4 Jubilee.

I wonder if Allianz will try and lure some Dragons, Manly or Sharks games there for more content to justify the price tag.

Ideally the Dogs would take most of their games to WSS. Maybe 4 of the big ones at ANZ

Similarly Souths would take 8 to Allianz and 4 big games to ANZ

So the ANZ games would be double headers or the home games against:

Parra
Tigers
Souths
Dogs
Dragons

All others at the smaller venues.

I mean it’s absolutely ridiculous to play the Gold Coast Titans at ANZ.

For me it is:
Parra - All WSS

Rabbitohs - All ANZ
Bulldogs - All ANZ (I'd like to see them play all WSS but I can see why that won't happen)
Roosters - All Allianz
Penrith - All Penrith
Sharks - All Sharks Park.
Manly - Allianz (let's face it, their crowds can't get any worse than what they are at Brooky)
Dragons - 8 Wollongong, 4 Jubilee (1 of the Jubilee matches at Allianz every second year for the ANZAC match)

I would absolutely love it if the Dogs, Parra, Tigers and Souths played all of their games at WSS and gave the NSW Government a big FU for the ANZ ''refurbishment''

Could it handle 4 home teams in the same season? Could be stretch. The pitch would get a serious workout.

Might be a bit too far west for Souths, I’d hope they take some games back to Allianz.

True but it's hard to see ANZ giving up Dogs and Rabbits home games without a fight. An intimate mode could have really helped at ANZ for games like you mention.

With 3 genuine options for modern stadiums it will be very interesting to see if the stadiums go against each other and suburban grounds for regular content.

ANZ are operated by venues NSW, they also operate WSS. Make it easier.

We also haven’t seen the final plans for ANZ, could still have an intimate mode.

Manly will have to do something you'd imagine sooner or later, whether that is Allianz, Central Coast or fluking and upgrade or new stadium.

Would be very interested to see what would happen if the NRL put the relocation bonus back on the table for Central Coast.

So you'd imagine with all the money going in to the 3 New Stadiums there might be a struggle between Allianz, ANZ/WSS & Suburban grounds for content allocation.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Allianz try and entice Manly, Sharks, Rabbitohs or Dragons games, whilst ANZ would like to keep some Eels & Tigers games as well as the majority or Rabbitohs and Bulldogs.

Once the all the new Stadia is complete.
Wests, Dogs and souffs should all take 4 Games each to Homebush. All matches being Sydney derbies, Easter weekend and opening round amongst that. Use Homebush only for these event matches, SOO, Finals & of course the GF.

Wests & Dogs should take Remaining matches to WSS. Apart from one or two games to their spiritual homes.

Souffs should also look to take 4 matches to SFS and The rest to places like Perth, Adelaide etc.

So four grounds for Wests? In the one city? That sounds ridiculous to me. They gotta leave LO and Campbo behind.
