We can play more games at bathurst, dubbo and mudgee, to offset any overpricing from bankwest, besides they should be souths and bulldogs free by then, and will need a more steady tenant than the nomadic tigers, penrith for two years can offer atleast 16-20 home games over the 2 years, maybe less if we take a few magic home games to suncorp or a games to NZ to honor the warriors sacrifice during the covid mainstay in Australia, im sure if our team is wanting to keep home games at bankwest to a minimum, there are plenty of rural areas that would love to see ivan and his panther globetrotters play in their home town.
Remember the NRL doesnt really care too much about the club matches, it really wants money from state of origin, finals and the GF, where panthers play games affects the clubs earning moreso than the NRL, getting bathurst council for example to pay for the event, would be better for the club than the club paying overs to bankwest's "Venues NSW"
