Opinion: NRL should play grand final in Sydney without ransom demand | Peter_Fitz
In the past four years the NSW taxpayer has put a lazy billion dollars or so to give the NRL a brand spanking new state-of-the-art stadium to be mainly used by that code, where the Sydney Football Stadium used to be, knocking down a 30-year-old stadium to do so.

“It’s up to other people to decide what they think of me and some will think I’ve been all right. Some will think I’ve been a prick.”Peter V’landys on the state of play of his relationship with the NSW Premier:V’landys:I daresay they don’t either, Peter? And it is not as if it is even close, yes?
