NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has warned Sydney risk losing hosting rights for the grand final, if Labor chooses to scrap the stadium plans for Moore Park.

Multimple media outlets inluding The Daily Telegraph and the Brisbane Times revealed NSW Opposition leader, ­Michael Daley’s pledge that if elected his Government would refuse to fund a $730 million ­rebuild of Sydney Football Stadium at Moore Park and redirect the funds to schools and hospitals.

Such a move would void an exclusive NRL Memorandum of Understanding with the NSW Government to play grand finals in Sydney for the next 25 years.

A frustrated NRL chief executive CEO Todd Greenberg said if Allianz Stadium was not rebuilt, the agreement to play grand finals in Sydney would be compromised.

“We would have the option to take the grand final to other states,” Greenberg said.

“We want this stadiums agreement to proceed.

“We have already had strong interest from other states wanting to host the grand final.

“Our strong preference is to see the new stadiums built and to keep the grand final in NSW but clearly if the MoU is not honoured we have to consider all options.”

Premiership deciders in rugby league have been played in Sydney since grand finals were introduced with the only exception being the 1997 Super League grand final in Brisbane.

The cost of the rebuild without government assistance would effectively send the SCG Trust broke.

The NRL’s Memorandum of Understanding requires new stadiums at Moore Park and Western Sydney and an upgrade of Sydney Olympic Park.

In return, the NRL agreed to play a grand final and State of Origin match in Sydney until 2042.

If Labor pulls the funding then State of Origin games in Sydney also risk being moved interstate.
