To all Roosters supporters and members,
We are thrilled to announce the advocacy work we have been doing recently to significantly enhance your experience getting to and from Allianz Stadium games and events.
The Club has been a proponent of keeping Moore Park’s on-grass event day parking, along with other athletic organisations. The NSW Government has agreed to keep parking until at least 2028, or longer if adequate alternate transport plans, including parking in the precinct, are not in place by then. This is a huge victory for our supporters and members. This was a hard-fought victory with a goal of keeping our games as accessible as possible for everyone, particularly for those who don’t have a reliable way to get to Allianz Stadium via public transport.
We have been pushing for the extension of the proposed Metro West line to include a station at Moore Park in order to improve public transport to the precinct in addition to maintaining parking.
With your help, we can make sure that supporting our teams will be easier and more pleasurable for you—a major step towards improving accessibility and convenience for our devoted supporters. The Daily Telegraph and Channel 7 news recently covered this.As members of the Alliance of Moore Park Sports (AMPS), we recently wrote to NSW Premier Chris Minns to convey our unwavering support for the Metro West extension.
Our plan seeks to effectively handle the transportation of more than 40,000 spectators each hour, greatly easing traffic and enabling quicker and simpler access to and from our games.
We present a unified front that highlights our dedication to you, our esteemed members and supporters, making sure that everyone has fair access to top-notch sport and entertainment at Moore Park, whether you choose to drive, take public transport or walk. This project aims to make every game, concert, or event unforgettable for all the right reasons by enhancing access and the overall experience, not just the infrastructure.
Emphasising that our world-class stadium deserves the world-class transport that the Metro would provide, please feel free to contact your local State MP if you would like to help us make this vision a reality.
Here are the contact details for the State Representative in your area.
We appreciate your continued support, and we look forward to many more amazing Moore Park Tricolours moments!

Michael Jennings, a centre who has played for the Sydney Roosters, Parramatta Eels, and Penrith Panthers in the past, is supposedly going to get a train and trial deal with the Roosters as an NRL lifeline.
Due to a failed drug test, Jennings has been suspended for the last three years, keeping him out of the game.
On October 9, 2020, Jennings was initially placed under suspension following a positive drug test result. Jennings’ contract with the Parramatta Eels eventually ended in May 2021 as a result of his provisional suspension. On October 15 of the same year, he accepted a three-year ban (backdated to 2020) from playing rugby league due to doping.
But the three years are now up, and Jennings, despite being 35 years of age, wants to return to rugby league.
News Corp is reporting that he will ultimately be afforded that chance by way of a train and trial deal with the Trent Robinson-coached outfit.
Jennings has, however, faced other off-field issues during his time away from the park, and the NRL is believed to be yet to give the deal the go-ahead.
Players can train full-time with the NRL squad on train and trial agreements for about $1000 per week, but they can’t play in the NRL until Round 11. That is seen in the same light as younger players’ development deals, given that they can also participate in first-grade starting in Round 11.
However, if a club is unable to name the necessary number of players due to an injury or suspension, players on both types of deals may be eligible for special dispensation from the NRL.
Although it’s thought he once considered moving to England to continue his career, Jennings will return through the NSW Cup after signing a train and trial contract with the team he played 71 games for between 2013 and 2015.
After playing 122 games for the Panthers in his first season with the club, Jennings played 105 more games with the Eels from 2016 to 2020. He was a part of the 2013 grand final with the Roosters.
In addition to playing State of Origin for New South Wales eighteen times, including the renowned selection from reserve grade once, he has amassed 154 NRL tries in 298 games.
In addition, he plays four games for the Prime Minister’s XIII, four for City Origin, three for the NRL All Stars, and seven Test matches for Australia and twelve for Tonga.
At his best, Jennings was considered one of the best centres in the game and he scored
