We have had very little luck in the past attracting elite players to the club and I dont see what has changed. Okay Cleary has a very good reputation, but when players have choice they go to the high profile clubs and any elite player will have plenty of choice

What a list of talent. I would have thought Funaki would be one of the first picked.

Forgot all about that dude…
He's the strongest at the broncos in the weight room apparently.

If I was in charge I would have us play at only 2 home grounds for the whole season, that being Leichardt Oval and Campbelltown Stadium. Playing most of our home games at Campbelltown Stadium and only 2 or 3 at Leichardt due to transport issues.

Sorry Joel - been going to both grounds for years. Campbelltown ain’t no picnic regarding transport/parking and I have never experienced atmosphere at Campbelltown that comes anywhere close to Leichhardt. Out of the 2 grounds, Leichhardt is the clear winner.
Sadly though this is a dead debate as neither grounds seem to be financially sustainable.

That is true, we do make more money playing at ANZ because we have a deal with them. But I heard that deal runs out at the end of this year or maybe next year. So maybe, just maybe there's hope we can play our home games at only Leichardt and Campbelltown. And maybe I was being a bit biast towards Campbelltown stadium about the transport because I'm only a 5 minute drive down the road from it. :laughing:

They need to build a 35000 league/football stadium around Liverpool with train access.. For inner city dwellers its just that little bit closer than Cambo. They could even build it a fraction closer to the city and we could share it with the Dogs and maybe Souths

I’ll let you in on a secret. Every time I go to Campbelltown, I drive up to the leagues club car park . The attendant asks if I’m going to game or club, I say club - he lets me in. His job is to stop those going to game parking in car park. My kids and I hide our jerseys and get a spot in the car park every time!!
Mate, it would be awesome if Leichhardt and Campbelltown became permanent home grounds. I’d prefer Leichhardt but I understand the Wests link to Campbelltown. Sadly, we don’t recognise the importance of valuing history and tradition. Upgraded boutique grounds such as Leichhardt, Campbelltown, Brookvale, Belmore, Kogarah, would be brilliant- but those days have passed. When we go forwards, sometimes we go backwards!

For a team that has such a large territory you'd think there was a better option than playing out of Parramatta.
St George, Manly and Penrith are all in Sydney and would have to travel through or into a rival teams territory to play in a large Stadium. Which i'm guessing is why the play most of there home games at there local grounds.
For a Blockbuster game i'm happy to go to a large stadium. Obviously ANZ is going to be out of action for some time while it's being re made. We have played out of the SFS before and got large crowds there.
For the games that aren't going to attract a 20K plus crowd. Like on a cold Thursday night against an out of town team, Why not play these out of Campbelltown or Leichhardt?

Eels and Tigers keen to open new stadium in Easter Monday blockbuster

The new Western Sydney Stadium is unlikely to be open for the first month of the 2019 NRL season as discussions begin about a potential Easter Monday launch between the Parramatta Eels and the Wests Tigers.
Construction of the $300 million 30,000-seat venue, which will have the steepest grandstands in the country, is set to be completed by April next year.
Easter Monday falls on April 22 in 2019, with discussions already underway about opening the venue with two western Sydney giants on a public holiday.
\
\
The Eels' original plan to play the first match against the St George Illawarra Dragons, like they did more than three decades ago when Parramatta Stadium was built, isn't dead in the water.
However, the club is working on an alternative option should the opening of the stadium fall around the same time as the traditional Eels-Tigers Easter Monday clash.
The NRL had hoped the stadium would be ready in February to launch the venue with a weekend Nines tournament, however attention has turned to a potential 2020 tournament in Western Sydney with Brisbane in the box seat for next year.

Easter Monday launch of new Parramatta Stadium?
It's understood the Wests Tigers, who have a long-term deal in place with ANZ Stadium, are also in discussions about transferring some matches from Sydney Olympic Park to Western Sydney Stadium next year.
They have a long-term deal in place to play at least four matches a year at ANZ Stadium, but given VenuesLive now operate both the Olympic Park venue and the new Parramatta stadium, terms of the deal could be up for negotiation.

The Tigers are yet to commit to their suburban grounds but it's expected they will continue to play at least three matches out of Campbelltown and Leichhardt, especially with murmurs gathering momentum that suburban grounds could receive a financial injection as part of the government's stadiums strategy.
South Sydney, Canterbury and St George Illawarra are also weighing up the possibility of using the new Western Sydney facility in some capacity.
\
\
It's likely the Rabbitohs and Bulldogs, who have met with the state government and opposition leader Luke Foley, will continue their current arrangement with ANZ Stadium next year.
However, they are waiting on the government to provide clarity in regards to constructing timing of the Olympic stadium before determining if or how many games they will play in Parramatta from 2020 while ANZ Stadium is being renovated.
The Sydney Roosters have knocked back an expression of interest to take some games to western Sydney and will play nine or 10 of their home matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground next year while Allianz Stadium is being knocked down and rebuilt.
The Panthers have shown no interest in playing matches out of Parramatta.

I thought I read Pascoe say the deal at ANZ can be waived after this year?
