The best you can do is a tailored quote to misrepresent what was said ... not a lot of truth in what you've presented in this thread.
No I'm not saying that.
Perhaps to help you, consider the number of AFL games played annually in Vic with Sydney.

Perhaps to help you I'll remind you that both W.A. and Victoria built rectangular stadiums of their own volition.
N.S.W has spent minimal amounts on Australian Football.

HTF is it tailored you said "just Perth is the best stadium, ANZ is hopeless."
I cannot help it that you have a poor grasp on English grammar specifically how to link to two thoughts.
You miss the point or choose to ignore it.
that is feeble as in lacking character.

Ok, if you say ,but you also said "Perth is the best stadium, ANZ is hopeless."

I think I understand the point you are making. I read it as "we want an outrageous sum of money spent on one shyte stadium
to the exclusion of other other stadiums, other sports and worthwhile pursuits because we are NRL fans
and NRL fans believe in the build-and-ye-shall-come myth and stuff the consequences."
Not we please, where it spends its money is NSW taxpayers business.

Like, you don't have an opinion on Perth Stadium, oh yes, you also said "Perth is the best stadium, ANZ is hopeless."
No wonder you believe the politicians, you would not recognise the truth if whacked you in the orchestra stalls.
Still pay tax in WA, not much. The Perth Stadium hasnt opened for business ($s) yet.

Are you going to finish the your statement ?
"The politicians" ? WTF The politicians that......?

Is that why you said "Perth is the best stadium, ANZ is hopeless."
FYI, "Still pay tax in WA" is missing a subject noun.
Your expertise in our language leaves much to be desired.

Once Parramatta Stadium is up and running I would commence a refurbishment of SFS. New seating, updating stadium ammedenties, even if the capacity is reduced by a couple of thousand at the completion, make it more comfortable for spectators.
In the mean time demolish and re build the grandstands at both Leichhardt and Brookvale with improvements around the ground.
Along with Kogarah, Campbelltown, Penrith and Cronulla, Sydney would have a fantastic range if small suburban grounds spread around its metro area.
Once all those upgrades are done. Look at rebuild, configuration of Stadium Australia. Its only 18 years old.

will you really need that many smaller grounds moving forward though? Kogarah, Campbelltown, and Leichhart IMO are just diverting resources and will struggle to meet the increasing demands of attendees in terms of access and amenities. I'd include Cronulla and Penrith too personally, but I get why people want them

Kogarah is a great place to watch league, probably bested by WIN. the dragons habit of selling home games to larger stadiums so we can quarter fill then does my head in.

That’s the issue though, stay niche small and no govt dollars for sfs and anz, or go big
There is no point upgrading those two if they are used sparingly.
Super plan 5 BUT, you arent calling the shots - the heart agrees with Brooky though.

Allianz Stadium and the SCG in Sydney’s Moore Park.
Sydney’s Allianz Stadium will be demolished next year and rebuilt by 2019 and ANZ Stadium knocked down in 2019 and reconfigured by 2021, under an ambitious timeline being pushed by Sports Minister Stuart Ayres that is said to have the backing of Ms Berejiklian.
Under the plan, Allianz, at inner-city Moore Park, would have a capacity of 45,000, and ANZ, at Olympic Park, a capacity of 75,000 — down from 85,000 — but it would be redesigned as a rectangular stadium.
The plan is aimed at raising Sydney’s stadiums to the quality of those recently built in Adelaide and Perth, and the facilities at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the city’s Docklands.
But the plan, which could be put to cabinet as early as this week, has caused internal consternation, with Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Deputy Premier John Barilaro arguing as to why the government should be spending more than $2bn on stadiums when it, like other governments, is under pressure to act on the cost of living.
The government has already spent $300 million building a new Parramatta Stadium in the city’s west.
Infrastructure Minister Andrew Constance is also said to favour rebuilding ANZ only.
The plan is understood to involve some State of Origin matches heading interstate while construction takes place. But Sydney would retain hosting rights for the NRL grand final, with Allianz to fill the gap while ANZ is being rebuilt.
The stadiums war has split the football codes with clubs using Allianz, including the popular Sydney FC, and the Australian Rugby Union, pushing hard for an Allianz rebuild and the NRL pushing for ANZ to be built first.
The NRL has set up meetings with ministers in a frantic last-minute bid to get the ANZ proposal up first.
Such has been the force of the NRL campaign that the code’s chief executive, Todd Greenberg, has met ministers not involved in the proposals to urge them to push in cabinet for an ANZ rebuild first.
“I am writing in relation to the NSW Government’s commitment to upgrade Sydney’s stadiums network,” Mr Greenberg has written to ministers.
“Whilst I know this issue does not fall within your portfolio responsibilities, I understand the important matter will be discussed in the coming month at cabinet.”
The letter points out the announcement in April last year by former premier Mike Baird that was “publicly supported by the NRL” involved a permanent rectangular configuration of ANZ at more than 70,000 seats with construction to start before March 2019 and “the refurbishment of the existing Allianz Stadium — with works to commence after the redevelopment of ANZ Stadium is completed, and in any event not before March 2019”.
But Mr Ayres, who is close to several people on the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust that runs Allianz Stadium, is understood to have won the Premier’s support on the need to get moving on Allianz.
Mr Ayres had always favoured an Allianz rebuild first but was slammed last year after he tried to slide past Mr Baird a plan not to build on the Allianz site, but on a nearby site at Moore Park, a move that would have been controversial, particularly in light of flak the Baird government received for ripping out century-old trees for its CBD light rail project.

Can the nrl or even the clubs and their casino sized league clubs ever contribute a cent? Or is that to much to ask
