This is the future folks....this'd be just a small start.... it looks like in the future the Grand final will be going to where it can get the best deal..

The New South Wales Government and the NRL have signed a six year, $3 million dollar deal, which will ensure that the NRL Grand Final will be played in Sydney until at least 2012

In addition to securing the grand final for Sydney from 2007, the agreement provides for the funding to boost the game's grassroots development program, including dedicated programs for regional and indigenous rugby league

I've been informed that it was the Victorian government that intitiated this... they wanted the GF and the NSW government stepped in an made an offer..

Apparently this was revealed at the full press conference.
