RESTART OF COMPETITION

What’s the big deal if there is no crowd..

Nothing wrong with either playing surfaces at Cambo or Leichhardt...

Buzz is a dill. Just thought I’d throw that in

I'm guessing it does not meet the requirements to host games because of some lack of biosecurity features. Probably something like the people watching from the houses outside the ground.

Little used venues in Campbelltown and the Central Coast could play a pivotal role in rugby league’s restart, with the grounds expected to host a number of matches.

The NRL is in the midst of finalising its matches for “home” games, with the venues still to be determined despite the next two rounds announced two days ago. The decision could mean the Sharks give up home ground advantage against the Tigers in round three, which Cronulla coach John Morris labelled “strange”.

Bankwest Stadium will certainly be one major hub for games in Sydney, with Campbelltown and Central Coast Stadiums also being strongly considered.

Bio-security protocols have ruled out Leichhardt Oval as a potential venue and Kogarah Oval was also being considered because of its proximity to the airport but that is now looking increasingly unlikely.

The Sharks have been sharing Netstrata Jubilee Oval with St George Illawarra this year, with their long-term base Points Bet Stadium unavailable as the nearby precinct undergoes a renovation. They play Wests Tigers on May 30 and could now face them at Campbelltown Stadium – one of the Tigers’ home bases.

“That would come as a shock,” Morris said. “We are just glad footy is back and the priority is that we are playing. Our mentality is we will play anywhere and anytime to get the game going.

“But it would be strange playing at Campbelltown given the few games that are played there. When you compared games at Leichhardt and Kogarah and the proximity of those venues with the airport, I would have thought they would have been more accessible.

“That’s no disrespect to Campbelltown. I played plenty of games out there.

“Kogarah would be fantastic and we’re still hopeful are able to play games there.

“It would be nice to have some sort of home games in the draw. There would be something amiss if we are the home team and playing at one of the Tigers home games.”

Manly, Newcastle and the Warriors could play home games on the Central Coast — a venue that has only hosted six games in the past four years.

Campbelltown — with six games in two years — could host Canberra, Wests Tigers, Cronulla and St George Illawarra.

And Parramatta, Canterbury and Penrith may share Bankwest Stadium.

Given the Roosters have taken matches to Gosford, they could return to the venue, while the Rabbitohs were going to play games at Bankwest Stadium when ANZ Stadium gets redeveloped next month.

Melbourne have been given clearance from the Victorian government to host home matches — only needing the government to sign off on rival teams’ fly-in and fly-out protocols to get the final green light.

Brisbane and the Gold Coast will play out of Suncorp Stadium and North Queensland are hopeful their new stadium in Townsville will be given the all-clear to play.

The NRL will assign clubs venues for matches.

Parramatta and Brisbane will have a distinct advantage playing at their true home base — albeit in front of empty stadiums.

The NRL’s plan is to announce the venues this week before announcing the rest of the season draw on Thursday.

The NRL hinted to club bosses last Friday they would announce venues in seven-game blocks to allow for any easing of restrictions for crowds and travel, which could see the Warriors return to New Zealand. Under biosecurity measures they need exclusive use of the grounds while the NRL also weighs up the cost of the grounds.

Meanwhile, the Victorian government will not stop Canberra’s non-vaccinated players from travelling to play the Storm in Melbourne in round three.

It probably is a vanity thing as much as anything else. To anyone who doesn’t know the ground, particularly people in the US who play out of stadiums and domes, they would think our game is bush league playing out of a dingey suburban ground.

Rothfield speaking on stadiums that'll be used.

“I’m told they’ve settled on three venues in NSW,” Rothfield told Fox League Live. “The Central Coast stadium where Newcastle the Warriors and Manly will play out of.

“It’s a great stadium there, we are also going to use Campbelltown for the Wests Tigers, Canberra, probably Cronulla and St George, will play out of there, too.

“Then we’ll have Bankwest for Parramatta, Penrith, Canterbury, the Roosters and Souths.

“The problem with using ground likes Leichhardt is that our game is going to be taken across the universe, they want a backdrop with reasonable facilities to show we are a big-time sport.”

So they prefer Campbo to Leichhardt for the looks of it? lol

Yeah, empty seats, compared with people on balconies and looking over fences on to lush green grass to choose from, so let's go with the empty seat option.

Actually Leichhardt has been deemed a bio hazard !
A Bio security nightmare..then again most already knew this except the club !???

A biohazard that was pretty much the last ground used before the lockdown? Any facts backing this statement up or is it just dribble? I suspect it's just dribble.

As if the USA will be avid watchers of rugby league🙄
Grounds where you can see trees are great IMO. Leichhardt, Brookie etc crap all over concrete jungles that are a dime a dozen.

Huge difference, one of the protocols is it can only be used for the NRL and nothing else, so it could be a simple as the council not giving the NRL sole use of the facility due to arrangements they have with soccer.

I'm sure there are plenty of diseases that started in that cesspool.

Ah the Leichhardt Oval brigade crying over their lattes again when someone says the ground isn't up to standard. I'm just glad we have so many home grounds - whatever ground we get assigned to no doubt it will be one of our homegrounds. I can see this was the plan all along in having so many homegrounds on the off chance that something like this might happen. Brilliant strategy by the board.

Brilliant from Pascoe he knew we would have a global pandemic now we will be playing at home for 80% of our games

It's true though. If you knew nothing about the NRL and tuned into a game played at leichhardt or Kogarah youd assume your watching some local b-grade competition.

Michael Morgan to miss some time.

“I am back running and doing weights and everything. At the moment it is feeling good (but) it is very slow to start with,” Morgan told Nine’s Sunday Footy Show.

“I will probably miss the first three, maybe four weeks. There is no real set date on it.

“If I can get back earlier I will try to do that – I will just see how it goes.”

AND.....If they were watching games at ANZ or Bankwest they would think the game is being played by neanderthals in empty caves.
