South Sydney are blaming bitter rivals the Sydney Roosters for sabotaging their hopes of completing their captain’s run inside the new $828 million Allianz Stadium this week.
However, the Roosters’ NRLW side will use the ground on Thursday and the Springboks and Wallabies will also be given access at the start of the week ahead of their rugby union Test on Saturday, 24 hours after the Roosters and Rabbitohs kick-off. The Roosters have also made it abundantly clear they have no appetite to share Allianz Stadium as a home ground with any rival NRL clubs, especially Souths.One government official, who did not wish to be named, suggested that if Souths really wanted to look at the surface, “They should turn up on Sunday for the free community event before Guy Sebastian performs.”
The decision to limit the amount of traffic on Allianz prompted Souths to ask NRL head of football Graham Annesley about whether the playing surface would be safe.: “We have complete confidence in the professionals who are responsible for the installation and maintenance of the turf at the stadium, however, in an abundance of caution, we will, of course, conduct our usual checks early in the week to ensure everything is in order for the NRL and NRLW games on Friday.
