The Sydney Roosters have today announced that the Club will host three home games in Perth from 2020 to 2022.
There will be one NRL Telstra Premiership match contested per season at HBF Park, which is a perfect ground to watch rugby league in Western Australia.
Roosters CEO Joe Kelly expressed his excitement about the upcoming fixtures.
“The Sydney Roosters are excited to be bringing Rugby League back to Western Australia and HBF Park for the next three seasons.
“The Roosters have a strong following in Western Australia and we are pleased to have the opportunity to expand the Sydney Roosters brand across the Country.
"It will also be a great opportunity for our Western Australian Members to watch our team play live in their home state and for those who are avid Sydney Roosters fans to join as Members.
“Following the success of State of Origin this year, the appetite for Rugby League in WA has never been stronger.
“We would like to thank the Western Australian State Government, VenuesWest and NRLWA for their enthusiasm to see Rugby League return to Western Australia and from our Head Coach through to our playing group we can’t wait to run out on HBF Park next season.”
Sport and Recreation Minister Mick Murray further expressed his excitement in bringing the Roosters to Perth.
“We are delighted to bring even more quality rugby league to Western Australia, with the legendary Sydney Roosters set to make WA their home away from home for the next three years.
“The Sydney Roosters command one of the biggest followings in the country, and we expect benefits to flow through to WA’s economy as their fans head west over the next three years.
“Local rugby league continues to go from strength to strength in Western Australia, and this will be a terrific opportunity for local fans to see some of the best of the best, in the flesh right here in Perth."
The Roosters 2020 NRL fixtures will be confirmed at the conclusion of the 2019 season.
