Sea Eagles formalise Brookvale Oval proposal

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today formalised their previously tabled proposal to Warringah Council for usage of Brookvale Oval for the 2016 season.

This proposal amounts to $220,000 per year for the NRL season, a figure that still remains significantly higher than the rates charged by superior suburban venues to other NRL teams.
