NSW: Govt offers NRL $4.2m a year to retain grand final: report

The NSW government has made an offer of $50 million to the National Rugby League (NRL)
to ensure the grand final remains in Sydney for the next 10 years.

The Daily Telegraph reported on Friday that the offer comes after the Queensland government
attempted to snatch the state's biggest sporting event.

The NSW government is believed to have offered the NRL a minimum of $4.2 million a
year over 10 years - a far cry from Premier KRISTINA KENEALLY'S rumoured first bid of
$2.6 million a year.
