New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Canard]

The challenge for Christchurch is that it's a tiny market, and unlike NQ and Newcastle it's not a Rugby League heartland.

70 million for Origin ?

Ha…

what news has set this splooge off about NZ2?

I’ve said this before … don’t underestimate Ben Ikin delivering Team 20 for Qld

you know what Christchurch doesn’t have ? A credible bid that PVL and Abdo want to meet with

Pvl said that about the last two bids that were admitted into the nrl

What do you mean ? Also … each bid will be treated on its own merits I suspect …so what happens for one doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen for the next

Who says only people in Christchurch would support the club?

New Zealand GDP per capita is ranked 23rd so hardly paupers.

Maybe from another huge metropolis in the region?!

Well, Perth consortium were dumped and NRL is heading that. NRL engaged with all Brisbane bids before dolphins came in. Kiwi bids are concepts with no backers

Pvl said the png bid wasn’t good enough and if the Aussie govt didn’t give more money the team wouldn’t get in

Perth got rejected many times by Pvl

Maybe you would think it’s how Pvl negotiates

so how much money is the NZ govt paying?

PVL must be waiting for $600m maybe like PNG

Yes because nz needs the same money png did

You just said above each bid will be judged on its merits

Maybe refresh and have a look at what the orcas were offering ?

I don't know where I got 70 million from, it's not that.

This is a very trollish post.

I said that and you just ignored it …so I assume your argument is that they will all be treated the same

Well why you trolling then?

The orcas bid that PVL didn’t seem worthy of meeting with ?

Looks more like, when the time comes it'll be the Perth model.

Perth got across the because of the WA Govt money, and Cook driving it…PVL used to joke that Cook was ringing him every week ….

Are the money and the Govt interest the same with Christchurch ?

 

[Wb1234]

The orcas bid that PVL didn’t seem worthy of meeting with ?

As I said Pvl did the same with the previous two bids

Which both had significant Govt money attached and Govt interest… so far these are absent for Christchurch

Perth ? What 70 million over ten years ?

Chch council has built a stadium worth 750 million

And will build a centre of excellence

The orcas bid has said they will invest approx 2 million a year in junior funding around nz

As j said refresh yourself about the bid

It’s how much the tourism / economic benefit the nz govt said origin would bring in

Referencing the Orcas bid is like when PR used to reference the Perth bid from his Pawn broker mate…I suspect the Orcas bid is in the same place as that one …in the bin…

I don’t go and reread 12 month old League media news mate …much more interested in what is happening now …which appears to be very little
