ah now we have a currency expert on board as well.

yes the NZ will be falling some time soon
:lol:

these union fans are one of a kind


you really are stipid little child arent you... did you know that the historic average for the NZD is 55c to the USD.. the fact that is in the high 70's now means it will fall , its just a matter of when... you should really read articles instead of just looking at the pictures...


So let me get this right.

RU is supposedly the national sport of NZ.

that means it should be popular, have lots of fans.

why would a popular sport need government money to be injected into it regularly to make it healthy?

and of course ive ignored the $30 million from the WC losses which the government will cover because its confusing pointint out all your errors at once

The more you sprout the more you show how stupid you really are... Rugby does not need govt funding can you point out where anybody has said that Rugby regularly gets govt funding??? oh thats right like so many things you made it up..... the govt underwriting (you do know whatthat means i hope) was to ensure that NZ did get the wc... the govt knows that it will recoup this back many times over in taxes... that is why it chose to do so...

They WILL lose 30 million from hosting the world cup... pure and simply because the only source of revenue for a host nation is ticket sales... the world cup itself will still make its usual 100's of millions but the NZRFU will only see some of that if the All Blacks win.... Since the 30 million is under written by the govt, it remains to be seen how much will actually be lost by the NZRFU....

I agree lets wait and see ;-)

The key difference in this whole clusterf**k of a thread is that while the super14 has had a bad year, it by no means means that Rugby is dying and now the NZRFU is doing something about it.......

I think we all agree that Rugby is the National Sport of New Zealand. Yes Rugby is going through a bad patch in NZ. I am sure the World Cup will raise the profile again and the fans will come back. The ongoing problem Rugby does have is the cashed up NH clubs and the standard of Super 14's. If they can fix these to issues all will be good again. :D

Can RL take over from RU in NZ?

In the short term.... No!
If the NZRFU get there act together.... No.
If they can stop players going to NH... No.

But if Union can't fix these problems and league can get its act together. Maybe and I say maybe a long way way way down the track it is always possible. That has been my opinion all along.

As I have said before who would have thought 20 years ago that the AFL would have a truley national comp and be the leading code in Australia? You would have been laughed at if you told me that 20 years ago...get my point?

9 years of having a lesbian in charge of the country has royally screwd up all sport... we shall see what happens after the change of govt... and how much money is put back into it.

:lol: yes i can under stand how that would make you upset!

I agree entirely... the differnce is now the NZRFU is acting to "stop the rot" as it were and address the issues... something that idiot dally cant seem to comprehend

sounds like the nick leeson of the NZRU to me.

think about china and india, their impact and commodity prices and how that impacts on a commodity sensitive currency like the NZ dollar.

and you should read your own posts. you said that union needed a sport loving PM as the current ones failure to invest in ru was a cause of failure.

im beginning to think that RU fans are all eligible for government handouts given their intellectual abilities.

Just a little lesson for you about NZ league . Its not even in the top 5 sports in regards to paticipation numbers .
There are no school competitions apart from Auckland . It has no money normally relies on handouts .

Can RL take over from RU in NZ.....NO
Can RL take over from AFL in Victoria.....NO
Can RU take over from RL in NSW & QLD....NO
Can Sccer take over from RU in Samoa, Tonga and Fiji....NO
Can Basketball take over from Soccer in Brazil....NO
Is there a posibility that this will happen long way way way way down the track .......NO






ve said before who would have thought 20 years ago that the AFL would have a truley national comp and be the leading code in Australia? You would have been laughed at if you told me that 20 years ago...get my point?
Not one Football code in Australia controls all the states & territories of Australia and it would never happen now or ever . Rugby league will one day be just as popular if not more popular than AFL (huge national tv ratings, big crowds etc) is now if they have teams in Perth and Adelaide . But it will never be the National Sport of Australia as long as AFL control Victoria, SA & WA .
Who will have thought that there will be no national rugby league comp in NZ and their paticipation numbers drop from 40,000 to 15,000 ?
And if you think the Warriors are going to help then youre wrong . Warriors looks after number 1 and thats the Warriors . You should go to NZ and see the damage the Warriors have done to the local clubs competition since they join the NRL .





But in saying that compared to the NZRL that have $0 in the bank and and losing 1.7 Million financially the NZRFU is in far better shape.

Finally .:lol:

Also with the super 14 revamp they are looking to have a pacific team playing out of NZ :lol: Warrior......you have been telling me Samoa is a rugby union oasis and yet instead of a pacific team playing in Samoa, Tonga or Fiji they put in in NZ!
Even Blind Freddy will know the reason why the S14 Pacific team will be base in NZ or Australia not in the Pacific Island .:roll:
Thats right . I forgot Rupert Murdoch's has given every household in the Pacific Islands a free TV and Foxtel .:lol:

:lol:

I didnt say anything of the type you dumb f**k... i said and i quote " has royally screwd up all sport" that includes a totally broke Rugby League... I have never said it needed to invest in Rugby.. again you are moaking sh*t up.. are you really that devoid of anything remotely resembling reason that you have to make stuff up????? and if you knew anything about currency trading you would know that the only thing keeping the New Zealand dollar high are the interest rates... the differential is extreme at the moment... as soon as the RB lowers rates the dollar will dive.

why was RU even in a position to be "rotting" in NZ.

its supposed to be the national sport?

we dont have the same problems over here.
you do know what inverted commas are dont you???? it was an expression... most of the problem is of the NZRFU's doing... and it can and will be fixed...

Why is it that even the "one eyed league lovers" in this thread dont even back you up??? you are a moron of the highest order... you lie and make completly false statements and use them as facts... you are as big a joke on this bored as PW

Irish Warrior are you still upset about the state of the ARU? Still having flashbacks to the great days in 2003 when the RWC was on and Union Lovers all over the World united as one?

The good old "it will never happen" line. :shock: If i could have a $1 for everytime someone said that and were proven wrong. Warrior please let the big boys post on this forum. Go back to that dark corner and dream of the 2003 RWC and how life was so much better then:lol::lol:

For the same reason League in NZ is f**ked... bad mismanagement... both of which can and will be fixed

hmm league lovers on a RL site, fancy that.
Yep.. and they all think you are as thick as pig sh*t too.
what are you doing here?

Ok cheesy . If you think Im wrong on the paticipation numbers of rugby league players in NZ ...Can you prove me wrong ?:sarcasm:

NZ RL....Samoan RU.....At least I've lived in NZ and Samoa . Have you been to any of those two countries or do you get the nz herald and samoan newspapers deliver to you there in Randwick NSW ?:lol:



Irish Warrior we have been through this before so now your an expert on Soccer as well. Irish Warrior this is so entertaining what else do you have to say today, lets have a look
Im no expert at soccer but Im very sorry if I was wrong about soccer been Brazils national sport . I knew I made a mistake there somewhere .:sarcasm:


Irish Warrior are you still upset about the state of the ARU? Still having flashbacks to the great days in 2003 when the RWC was on and Union Lovers all over the World united as one?
Lets see Cheesy . You seem to like using the word RIP alot on this thread . Name me one country that doesn't play rugby union anymore ? Now name me more than two countries that doesn't play rugby league anymore . When you find the answer to those questions. Please let me know who's moving forward and who isn't ?:p

The good old "it will never happen" line. If i could have a $1 for everytime someone said that and were proven wrong. Warrior please let the big boys post on this forum. Go back to that dark corner and dream of the 2003 RWC and how life was so much better then[/quote]
Don't worry Cheesy . I've got 2011, 2015, 2019 and so on to look forward to . Can you say the same about the RLWC ? At least I can come and go out of that dark corner . Your'e very much glue to that dark corner for life waiting for your dreams to come true .:D
