Yeah I can see the rep angle and the importance of giving the game a profile outside of Auckland just isn't sinking in on this one.
I said the Warriors could work as a team repping all of NZ. You disagree. So we'll have to agree to disagree on that.
Put it another way - why is the CC, with its Canberra sized population and high unemployment, - a greater priority than?
Because they are a foundation club and shouldn't have been kicked out in the first place. They were willing to relocate to the Central Coast, and I believe they should be let back in.
Thinking outside the box, I wouldn't mind seeing an American club, based in Hawaii - maybe called American Anacondas. Aloha Stadium in Honolulu is a 50,000 seat stadium and having an American club in the NRL could open up a massive market in the United States.
