    The Southern Orcas have unveiled a plan for a 20-hectare sports centre - valued at 100 million - which would include seven training fields, gymnasiums, medical facilities and accommodation.

    The Orcas will be funded by a group of private equity investors and chaired by former Kiwis coach Sir Graham Lowe.

    They were reportedly one of the bids rejected by the NRL two weeks ago.
