Queensland royalty, Immortal Wally Lewis, wants to see Brisbane stage more grand finals or for the grand final to be sold to the highest bidder to host the match, anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.
“Everybody north of the border thinks it’s an outstanding idea,” he told Channel 9 on Wednesday morning. “There is a little bit of excitement in Queensland about the grand final returning to Brisbane.
“If the NRL are chasing the biggest bidder well certainly it could possibly go to Victoria. The MCG hosting 100,000 fans, it’s going to be very difficult to knock them back.”
Lewis said it’s no longer the NSWRL but the National Rugby League so “if they’re able to please rugby league fans all around the country, it’d be fantastic”.
“It is extremely important for the NRL to share it around the country,” he said.
