RIP Terry Hill: Former Manly great, Origin star and cult hero dies in Philippines
The rugby league is in mourning following the untimely death of former Kangaroos centre Terry Hill from an apparent heart attack in the Philippines.…
With the NSW Government announcing $1.6 billion in stadium development, rugby league benefits massively through the development of ANZ and Parramatta into modern rectangular stadiums.
ANZ becoming a rectangular stadium should boost attendances for South Sydney and the Bulldogs along with the high-drawing games the Eels bring to Homebush. ANZ should be used as a match of the week venue on Sunday Afternoons to create more ‘event’ games in NRL.
The upgrade of Allianz Stadium will benefit the Roosters, Waratahs and Sydney FC in providing a better match-day experience. As for the beloved suburban grounds, there will be a time it which rugby league has to move on, and fully transition to modern stadiums.
The likes of Brookvale and Leichhardt Ovals wouldn’t be fit for any other professional sporting competition, and are pub level grounds compared to Suncorp, AAMI and ANZ. Nostalgia and fond memories blind the fact suburban grounds do not have adequate facilities when compared to modern stadiums.
The NRL’s TV deals should chip in a couple of million to the suburban grounds and, over time, they should become boutique stadiums. The days of sitting on the hill will be long gone once rugby league has enough modern stadium throughout the competition.
