Is the Super Bowl concept the right choice for the NRL? 🤔🏟️ 📖 MORE: NRL NRLGF
The traditionalists and purists of the game are demanding the grand final continue to be played in Sydney, but Perrottet tore up the Harbour City's lease when he reneged on the $250 million pledge to upgrade suburban grounds like Brookvale, Shark Park and Leichhardt.
I was one of those people who prosecuted the case for the game's showpiece to remain in the respective states because of the tribalism attached to the Blues and the Maroons. The late Tommy Raudonikis famously declared on 2GB's The Continuous Call Team, "I hate Melbourne and they should chop it off and float it out to sea."It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong and I was quick to put up my hand.
Peter V'landys has copped plenty of criticism in recent weeks with some suggesting he's been bullying the NSW government into funding new stadia when the money should be given to the flood victims.

‘High-minded moralist’ Sam Harris goes on ‘deranged’ Hunter Biden laptop rant“High-minded moralist” Sam Harris has gone off on a “deranged rant” about Donald Trump and the Hunter Biden laptop story, says Sky News host James Morrow. Mr Harris claimed on the Triggernometry podcast that he wouldn’t have cared if Hunter Biden had the “corpses of children” in his basement and it had been covered up to ensure Joe Biden won the election. “Once again, the people who scream the most about Trump being a fascist are again revealing themselves to be a bit fascist themselves,” Mr Morrow said. “Like so many people who think themselves to be more clever than they actually are, Harris has spent the last six or so years using opposition to Trump as a sort of moral lodestone.” Mr Morrow said the rant proved Mr Harris was another case of “Trump induced reputation destruction”.
