We like playing at Central Coast. Port MAcquarie ground needs an incentive to upgrae but coud cope with 10k. Back to the bush. Orange has 4 majors within 1.5 hours of Dubbo, Parkes, Bathurst. back to the Bush.
Just who is this Kogarah move pandering to? The fickle locals who all they do is bag players?

For two years you’d definitely go on the road and chase the cash.
Adelaide
NZ
Fiji
PNG
Darwin
Perth
Brisbane
double headers with the other 3 teams who also don’t have a ground.

That would be a nightmare. They need a home base. I agree with selling some games but the logistics of that, plus the fatigue, would be too much.

Ha
Over 2 years?

C’mon.
They could easily work out a deal between
Eels tigers dogs rabbits to play double headers at BankWest.
Even roosters at SCG
That’s half the season in Sydney.
It works out better for everyone.

Or
Play at kogarah to 4K and probably get done by the Dragons twice per year there.

They need to keep the current membership engaged though. I know I won't be travelling much further than Kogarah on a regular basis. It's an absolute must that we play at least some games close to home.

This is absolutely a chance for the NRL to engage fans from the bush and expansion areas.

Not just us, a bunch of clubs homeless.

But na, anyone would think game day makes the money not the TV cash..


Anyways......NIMBY.

Yeah fair point, some games close, but really, twice as many as the Dragons?

More an NRL thing, they should be paying clubs to promote the game take it around the country during this unique sitiuation.

I expect contracts have been signed.

You’d think the NRL would salivating at getting the chance to get teams all playing out of one venue.

The hardcore fans will still go wherever it is.
No way I’d buy season tix to kogarah
No chance.
I sit with a group of about 10
None will go to Kogarah ... I guarantee it.
