South Sydney are desperately attempting to resolve a stadium dispute with the NRL giants at risk of being without a home ground for next season, reports claim.
A widening rift between the NSW government and NRL has reportedly left the Bunnies stranded, after they formally announced a decision to quit Accor Stadium after 16 years at the venue.
Instead, the club were lining up a historic return to the rebuilt Allianz Stadium, situated closer to the club's heartland in east Sydney.

However, the return to Moore Park - after it has undergone an $800million upgrade - has been blocked, according to NewsCorp, because the NSW Government are refusing to sanction the move.
The decision leaves Souths at risk of a financial black hole with the club preparing to sell tickets, memberships, sponsorship and corporate hospitality for home games in 2023.
The NSW government and NRL are in the midst of a dispute after politicians refused to invest a further $250m into stadium renovations across the state, having already ploughed millions into a number of venues.
As a result, NRL chiefs are considering moving the Grand Final to Brisbane, despite pledging to keep the showpiece event in NSW until 2042.
