Hoping they take it to Tamworth

This!

There are plenty of areas across Australia that would benefit from NRL teams having some input into their development as development centres. Tamworth as far as I know has been pretty dedicated to RL for a long while. Dubbo might be another good region to support. No doubt there are others I don't know about.

Bundaberg I think took our help for a few years. As soon as a more local arrangement could benefit them they pissed us off if I recall things correctly. At least with regional areas in NSW the temptation to make the more local move to the Phins, Broncos or Titans is lesser for the players we've invested in. Jack Todd might be the first Tamworth product we see come through, but hopefully we get more good players filter through the system.

And as someone who can get to Tamworth in under two hours, I'd prefer to have home games moved there if the club wants to keep moving them. No disrespect to Qld based dogs fans. But you'll get magic round every year from the looks, plus Brisbane, Titans, Phins and Nth Queensland clashes. Which might be easier to get to. Regional NSW has been largely neglected for as long as I can recall.
 
Hopefully we don't return to that shithole field, surely the club can pick a NRL standard stadium in QLD for our fans to attend to?

Tamworth be awesome. Good ground there.

Wagga Wagga another option. The locals there really dirty Canberra left them. Mortimer Country.
 
We are back, no need to weaken our boys and our bank account by taking our games to shitholes.

I sill see them going regional and I don’t mind for one game each year. Can’t be 100% Sydney if we want good country kids like the next Jacko or Finucane.

Good point, but can we make it early in the season at least?

And in between Sydney games if possible.

That’s the tricky part with the draw, so many inputs. But yeah earlier in the season would be nice. I hear May in Wagga or Tamworth is stellar :-).
 
Tamworth a five hour drive to Belmore. Can be driven easily on any given weekend . Some supporters drive five hours to BUNDY and don’t think twice. Keep it in CQ or Wide Bay region I reckon.
 
Was this the NRL “owing” QLD for the lockdowns games across banana country?
