"Bluey, I was stoked when Pezet scored and set up some tries. I suspect you might have been too. It's 2026. He is wearing an Eels badge."

"Thanks for the update.

"Pezet had 3 runs, 5 kicks, 2 errors, and 3 try assists. Let's be frank, two of his try assists were fluke kick/regather efforts by others and his try a fluke kick/regather by himself. Ryles played possum about what he has to work on in the press…"

TS: You were very bullish this week about the prospects of getting the government to rebuild Parramatta Stadium, not just upgrade it. Will it happen?
PL: My view on this is simple – there are three million people in Western Sydney and they deserve a stadium. The Parramatta Eels have exactly the same issue.
To spend $30m on an extension when you can have a brand new stadium for $120m, with world class facilities and corporate boxes and so on – to me as a businessman, it’s not even a decision.
There is a DA approved for a stadium, so it could be done in, say, 18 months? If the government wants to make it happen, they can do so very quickly. It will be a disaster if it doesn’t happen – for sport, for the multi-use possibilities. I’m talking about a world-class facility.
We’re averaging 17-18k per game. I’m totally convinced that if it wasn’t for the stadium we’d be averaging 30,000 per game. Where we play is ideal, but the facilities are average. It’s a 50-year-old stadium, it’s archaic.
When we have VIPs from overseas, it’s embarrassing. We had the ambassador from Saudi Arabia queuing up for half an hour to use the one lift. Compare that with Etihad Stadium in Melbourne where you’re wining and dining in style. Here you get a chicken burger if you’re lucky.
The last sentence is a corker...
Wow Brett think we all just aged more then 20 yrs.I know my missus has been giving it to me about ageing but 20 yrs overnight that will do me.
Seriously though think of how long it took to build Parra Stadium the Wanderers are dreaming if they think this will happen
18 Months - that would be brilliant.
There does seem to be a bit of momentum gathering I reckon...
Wow great interview, he spoke very well and its clear he means business, i like his style.
This ACL win for wsw has made a HUGE difference here, the wanderers will be the difference with this stadium, without them we have no hope of a rebuild, but now i think they could push it over the line.
The WSW could be the best thing to ever happen to parra, ive got no doubt they are here to stay and i dont think they are even close to being at the peak of their popularity, its onwards and upwards for the wanderers, and they have some quality contacts, im thinking they could get us a new home ground here.
Mceel, if it ever happens, we will play out of ANZ for 2 seasons id guess.
Im not sure if it will happen, but lets hope it does mate.
The previous proposed upgrade for small stands at either end are due to begin in Jan/Feb, and once work begins there's no turning back.
