I can not speak for Melbourne and I don't try to. If you were to form a boundary of the sydney region is Penrith (the Nepean River), Campbelltown (the Hawksberry river) and just before Broken Bay ( the outlet of the Hawkesbeerry river.Just another of those myths that's still gets around.
However, the fact is that Melbourne's actual built-up suburban area is larger, more spread out than Sydney's - https://architectureau.com/articles...rgest-and-least-densely-settled-in-the-world/
... and, if the Central Coast is correctly excluded, Melbourne has a larger contiguous population - https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/is-melbourne-already-bigger-than-sydney-20170922-gyn2k4.html
But the 4 stadiums that are assumed and mentioned as part of this plan do make sense as they are very much separate regions that are in need of atleast a refurb, if not a rebuild. The Campletown stadium is in need of a refurb (with the recent installation of a permanent video screen apart of this) due to greater first grade use (due to the new Macarthur team), brookvale (if manly were to continue operating in manly) is seen as a competitive advantage because the ground is pretty much the worst you could possibly have (barley scrapping into the category of operational in many eyes) the stadium is also looking to hold more first grade games (including rugby and maybe the mariners). The Penrith stadium as well as either a potential stadium in and around the St George region (whether it be a new location or a the current kograh ground) although not a breast of the situation of both grounds (kograh seems of good quality currently) would be in line for an upgrade within the next decade or so. I hope that any potential deal would continue with the ownership by a government authority and preferably being run by them or at a good commercial rate to the nrl or the club. Anz is too large for the crowds is able to draw apart from the major events like soo and some international games (which would be in need of a good upgrade sooner rather than later)
