Representatives of the NRL, Sydney Roosters, South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Sydney Cricket and Sports Grounds inspected the SCG field of play on Sunday.
Prior to the NSW Waratahs fixture, SCG grounds staff had installed sections of ready-to-play turf in other areas of the field of play. The new turf performed strongly. "Other areas of the field, where the summer couch grass is dominant, came through the match very well – particularly areas freshly-laid with ready-to-play Matrix turf.
After inspecting the surface, NRL head of elite football operations Graham Annesley said he was confident the proposed installation of ready-to-play turf would provide a fair and stable surface for the Roosters and Rabbitohs on Friday. "We are looking forward to the next three years of rugby league at the SCG, particularly as our fans get the benefit of the game day technology innovations."
