A large amount of taxpayer funding spend on these places too.

I'll be very surprised if the Dolphins don't get an election commitment from both sides at the next federal election for one.

The roosters COE is within the Allianz stadium and they signed a 25 year lease. So unsure what the $13m cost is all about, other than fitout. A very cosy deal that one.

Due to open Mid-April is what i was told today.

It did look like they still had a lot of shit though close up to finish.

They are thinking of naming different parts of the COE off some legends. Nothing confirmed yet though

Jack Gibson already has the gym room named after him in the current demountable.

I suspect they will move that across to the new COE to keep Jack's legacy going.

Apparently Guru also slipped over in the dressing sheds pre game v the Dragons at the SCG and was a late scratching that day when Muggo booted the winning field goal from ~40 out....
