No surprise
Sydney were always going to get it.
The question is why Victoria get zero games.
It seems likely there was no money on the table.
What else can anyone expect considering how the Labor party has bankrupted this state.

Sydney getting the final was always going to happen. That's not really to big story here.

Looks like there are only 7 venues - Sydney x2, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Townsville.

Sydney centric. Feel it's just to safe.

Nil Melbourne. Strange. This story around the Rebel sounds strange. State gov didn't bid for any? Hopefully more comes out.

Brisbane reported told Sunsorp to small for major finals? Yet big enough for a Lions test? Easily one of the best rugby stadiums in the world.

No Canberra games. ACT Government showing no interest in major sporting comps. Women's World Cup. T20 World Cup. The list grows.

No games in smaller areas like Wollongong, Gosford or Launceston like in 2003.

Little disappointed in this news.
