Oh and yet another NRL stadium upgrade...

Perth Bears: WA premier’s personal push for NRL in Aussie rules state

Roger Cook grew up as a West Australian in love with rugby league, so is intent on a top-flight team landing west of the Nullarbor.

This is not just a NRL Stadium. It’s Perth’s only rectangle stadium, just like Melbourne Rectangle Stadium.

It also host Perth Glory in the A-League and Western Force in Super Rugby. And soccer internationals and concerts. And it’s owned by the WA Government.

The western grand stand, which is anticipated to get a redevelopment if Perth gets the 18th NRL team, is from before the 1970’s when the ground was a WAFL oval. It’s the last bit that has not been modernised over the last decade.

NRL very strong and in good shape. P Vlandys has done a good job.

Yet the discussion is where to play the Cronulla final and Vlandy wants to disrupt the swans final
rather than let commonsense prevail.

How can a NRL final attract less than a giants final in Sydney ?

I wouldn't give PVL any credit for that. The match was always going to draw a good crowd given the Bulldogs resurgence - it was their first home final for the best part of a decade.
