NSW Govt confident Eels deal will be done

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian remains confident a deal will be struck between Parramatta and the operators of the Western Sydney Stadium for the NRL club to play at the new venue next year.

The Eels revealed on Tuesday they were yet to reach an agreement with VenuesLive for use of the $300 million stadium, labelling a current offer "unacceptable" just a week before the NRL's draw is released.

Each of Parramatta's home games will be marked as venue TBC although the club was expected to open the 30,000-seat stadium in April.

Ms Berejiklian said she believed an agreement would be completed on time.

"We appreciate there's always those nitty gritty negotiations, and we're confident as a government we will get to a resolution," she said.

"We expect all parties to be robust in the way they manage interactions with each other but we also expect a very good resolution for the people of NSW."

Parramatta's stadium deal shapes as a crucial component of the club's future, with the contract understood to be for 15 years with an option in the Eels' favour for another decade beyond that.

The Eels are already unhappy with their previous deal at ANZ Stadium, which is also managed by VenuesLive.

    • I have a really really bad feeling about this 1
  • I believe we are in a stronger position the they are and I expect a compromise closer to what parra want then what VenuesLive want.

  • We will be there next year, theres nothing to worry about at this point.
