I have been telling everyone on ST for weeks we will never be allowed to host a final at Brookie. It looked like I was proven wrong, but now the last minute twist of the knife by Greenturd!The NRL said today that Lottoland’s eligibility to host the Week One Finals Series Match on Saturday night would be determined by a safety assessment.
The NRL was informed late on Friday evening that isolated traces of asbestos had been found in a small area of the hill at Lottoland.
The testing was part of the standard excavation planning for the new centre of excellence on the northern side of the stadium.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said a report into the safety of the venue was due to be supplied by 6pm Monday evening.
As a result the NRL will withhold ticket sales for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles-Cronulla Sutherland for 24 hours.
“Our number one priority is ensuring the safety of our players and fans. Unfortunately it could not be guaranteed when the schedule was confirmed,” Mr Greenberg said.
“We have given the local council and the Sea Eagles a period of grace of 24 hours in order to assess the safety of the venue before we release tickets.
“We have worked with Northern Beaches Council and the Sea Eagles to ensure they are given the opportunity to host a Final, while ensuring the safety of our supporters is paramount.”
The NRL and Sea Eagles management have agreed that in the event that Council cannot provide the governing body and the Club with the necessary safety assurances by tomorrow evening, the match will be transferred to Bankwest Stadium.
Tickets for the match will be on sale on Tuesday morning pending the confirmation of the venue.

COE is being built then 🙄
Scott could have held off for 1 more week after 15 years if planning
But the site is outside of Brookie, they could just close the NE gate![]()
It's actually not the Hill if the report of earth moving equipment on the COE site is correct.How would asbestos get on a grass hill? Unless whatever they used to fill it had asbestos mix in there. So weird! Surely this is a stitch up! Nrl wants us to play at parras home ground wtf!

Brookvale Park not Brookvale Oval itself - north east area

Point is that it's buried and is being used by the NRL to disqualify Brookie - their plan since 2009 😡I would Imagine it came to light in the geotechnical report compiled prior to excavation. Location of excavation has nothing to do with this as that’s not the gear they need for geotechnical reports

ANZ is the only place that the Event Buses can take us to from the Northern Beaches.As much as I despise Greenberg, I really don’t think this is what is happening here.
No council/club/governing body could in good conscience put a game on at a ground where asbestos has been found if it is proven to be unsafe. I think it’s just bad timing of when the information has come to light.
We should however get to choose where the game is played if through no fault of our own, Brookfield is not available
