Moving the Grand Final

[baselinepanther]

. This is a poor look for a professional sport

complete rubbish , like nearly every post you've put up about this matter

the GF was a bargaining chip months ago
the arrogance & ignorance of the NSW Govt to think Vlandys was bluffing

was a critical mistake
if it goes , then Parroturd will look like an utter goose

Plenty of sites like this. Selling packages as being at ANZ... really is a shit show

It clearly says at the bottom "Join the Waitlist", so no, they're not selling.

And if any places are selling, they're third parties who are doing so without the NRL's approval.

It is absolutely a poor look that the ARLC has not established which venue is hosting the Grand Final (given it is a fixed location event, not a relocation event like some other codes).

Discussions on future years are all well and good, but it's exceedingly poor for fans (and corporates for that matter) to not know when this year's is when it's mid-August and the event is 7 weeks away.

Whether that's PVL's fault or the government's fault is largely irrelevant. It's just a poor look.

Accor Stadium website too?

when the Draw was announced. Up until a couple of months ago. Sydney was pencilled in as a venue.

To not have it locked in Mid August, Is a disgrace.

So why didn't just move it then?

It is the NRL's responsibility to lock in the venue, The moment the 'contract' was broken. QLD should of been locked in

largely irelevant ?
The NRL wouldnt have had to delay anything if the NSW govt hadn't refused to speak to them when requested about the stadium plan on about 4 occasions . When the original plan was reneged on & the plan after that , the NRL said the GF may move from Sydney.

its absolutely relevant & the Govt's fault

This is your best post ever.

Not having the venue locked in, Is all on the NRL.

agreed
But I'd say the commission cautioned Vlandys to cool his Jets
but he & the game was still being treated like fools , so the commission is acting like I said it always would
a few more weeks makes no difference to the event
it'll sellout in 10 minutes

completely on the govt

just because you're looking like a giant ignoramus is not the NRL's fault

Accor Stadium website too?

If you can buy a ticket or hospitality to the NRL Grand Final using the Accor Stadium website, be my guest.

You can't, because it's not available for sale. The venue that normally hosts it listing it as a membership doesn't mean the event is on sale.

They are the ones looking like fools

they're looking strong & defiant

true to their word
unlike the slime bag NSW govt

The ARLC is the governing body of the game. It is their decision where to hold the Grand FInal.

If NSW is not available for any reason, then they can choose to go somewhere else. This is something they could have done some time ago. They have chosen to delay the decision repeatedly (and apparently for one more day, too).

You can spend time assigning blame to the government because of whatever loyalty you appear to have to the Chairman, but most fans I'm observing commenting on this are sick of the BS and want a venue announced. They don't care whether it's Perrottet or V'landys' fault.

Las Vegas putting in a late bid is the reason for the delayed decision imo.

They hardly decided to delay the announcement for shits & giggles tho did they ?
they felt they had to , & use the event as leverage to force infrastructure promised .... realised.
They would have made a decision months ago but were treated with no respect at all by the NSW Govt...
I have no loyalty to anyone .. Vlandys was right to use the GF
& if fans have to wait a big longer ... so be it

I don’t see what the problem is, it goes to Brisbane it’ll sells out or it goes to Sydney it will sell out.

If the BBL, Super Rugby & NBL can all announce venues a week before the GF, the NRL will have no issues announcing the location 8 weeks out

 

[Dogs Of War]

Just make it Sydney. Given the state govt is likely to change you need to curry some favour with the incoming mob.

No but they must of had it penciled in for Sydney, hence the delay won't be doing NRL any favours here
