    NRL CEO Andrew Abdo told Jason Matthews on Wide World of Sports, "We've had the Prime Minister's games, we've had the Pacific Championships being played there...It works, we know how to do it, we're experienced with it, we've got people on the ground and to get that developed and scaled up for an NRL or NRLW competition and team is just an extension of that."

    "There is going to be a significant investment in infrastructure and security over the next four years as we lead to the introduction of that team," Mr Abdo continued.
