While an official announcement is yet to be made, it seems Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium is in the box seat to host the NRL grand final in what would be a history-making final.

There were reports the deal was “all but done” and that it was going to be announced last week.

But ASM Global’s general manager of Suncorp Stadium, Alan Graham, said they were waiting on an announcement and it was time to be patient.

“But we are ready to rock and roll, we have been for about 20 years,” he told Scott Emerson.

He said they didn’t know when an announcement would be made, and what the final decision was.

“But we remain hopeful and optimistic.”

He said they were planning around staff and resources.

“It makes sense for us to do that, in anticipation for that to come.”
