Sydney is certain to host all grand finals until at least 2019, with the NRL partnership committee this week deciding to award a seven-year contract extension to the NSW Government. It is understood the Queensland Government would have been expected to pay $25m to the NRL to host the four grand finals - $6.25m per game - which would have been a major draw for tourism to Brisbane. But Cabinet voted not to press on with a final formal bid despite two letters from Premier Anna Bligh expressing interest to the NRL. Queensland Events notified the NRL that it would not proceed with a bid, leaving Sydney the only choice.
