grand final will stay in Sydney for 2022 but it's back to the negotiating table next year - and ARLC chairman Peter V'landys is making no bones about his discontent with the NSW government.But V'landys said that it was just today that the Australian Rugby League Commission had decided to plump for Sydney, in the interests of the fans.ARLC Commission chair Peter V'Landys has announced Sydney will host the 2022 NRL grand final.
"This is only for one year, I have to stress that. This is not for the long term," V'landys said at a press conference today. "Up until yesterday, I can tell you, the media reports that were giving out that Queensland were favourites were on the mark." A major source of conflict between the NRL and the NSW government has been a handshake agreement between V'Landys and Premier Dominic Perrottet over state funding for suburban grounds.The Penrith Panthers won the 2021 grand final at Suncorp Stadium during the COVID-19 lockdowns."There was a deal on the table, there was an agreement," V'Landys said.He said the characterisation of the grounds as just "suburban stadiums" were insufficient.
