I think it's time we used a private jet for the players and coaching staff to travel to and from all games outside of Sydney. They will arrive much fresher, do recovery on the flight and arrive home faster and be ready earlier for the next game. Big advantage over other teams and reduces the home ground advantage especially for the long haul away games, Cowboys, Warriors, Donkeys, Dolphins, Titans and even Melbourne can be a shit fight getting into and out of Tullamarine, a private plain could fly to Essendon, quieter and closer to AAMI Park. V'landys suggested in in 2019 but Covid got in the way, with that passed we can get on with it.
Imagine how much it would piss off the other clubs, plus make a huge statement as to how serious we are about getting back on top. As a bonus it's not a bad selling point for recruiting players, "you won't have to fly commercial if you come and play with us".
Good advertising/promotion for the charter company, they would be on TV before and after every one of our out of Sydney away matches. If we went 50/50 on the costs with the charter company and the NRL contributes the value of the commercial flight cost (as they do now) it would only cost us around $10k (for return Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast), which we can easily afford. Get it done Warburton.
