    Pacific Championships 2024

    I love the international game more than any other form of RL, but Origin can't die. It is an absolute beast that makes shitloads of money for the game and the attention it generates is the envy of every other sport in Australia. The SOO series along with the Grand Final are the four games that...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Samoa v Tonga has all the colour, passion and genuine rivalry of Origin. It's right there in front of us. We just need to take it and market it to play it three times a year and it will fill stadiums. Bonus that both sides are stacked with throbbers right now. One caveat, it won't work during...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    The benefits of what these two sides are doing right now will be felt for generations to come on the islands. There is no possibility of this in any other sport. The impact that Luai, To'o, Chrichton, RTS, Taumololo, Andrew Fifita and co will influence the next generation of kids on the islands...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Yep happened in 2019. All teams had a win and a loss. Australia won on for and against

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Agree, you have England, Samoa, France, Cook Islands and Lebanon doing nothing this weekend but the Kiwis have a bye? Doesn't make sense

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Bledisloe was what? 450k? Union's marquee fixture. So Aus v Tonga nearly double, plus we have crowds growing. Isn't that Union's last hope? Wallabies have the international game over us? Lol

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    You just know he was waiting weeks to post this and was disappointed it wasn't a sub 20k crowd 🤣🤣🤣

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Sorry that Union doing Union things upsets you.

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    Isn't your argument for a Perth team that the game needs to invest in growth?

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    That happens in the modern game. Tonga were solid last night relatively and lost by 18. Queensland are a world class side obviously and got blown off the park by NSW in game 2 this year. The Kiwis are 2-3 in their last 5 games against the Roos. The rivalry is more competitive than the...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    So 33k Suncorp, sold out Christchurch, probably sold-out Mt Smart and hopefully sold-out Final at Commbank. Genuinely competitive games. Ladies and gentlemen the international game is coming of age This sort of thing, along with hopefully good ratings will give the NRL confidence to go bigger...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Yeah Lolohea looked out of place. He didn't have his best game. Katoa and Fainu will be a cracking halves pairing for Tonga at the next three world cups, just a bit too young at the moment

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Ironically the Kiwi team that brought home the 2008 World Cup and 2010 4 Nations was on paper a weaker Kiwi side. Just really committed and could really get on a roll during tournament play. The current Kiwi side doesn't have the weaknesses of the past. World Class (at full strength), depth...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Oh wait, you mean Warriors? Yeah absolutely, Kiwis are a different story. The national side is probably the best ever

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Don't you reckon the current Kiwis squad (at full strength) is one of their best ever? Granted Manu is a big loss

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Problem is that the Pacific sides don't hold the same star (drawing) power or competitiveness when played simultaneously with Origin. To'o Chrichton Luai Leniu Fotueka Nanai Sua Kafusi Taulagi Fifita Haas (if recent rumours are true) all potentially missing because of Origin.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    I reckon you could sell-out Commbank, sell-out Mt Smart and pull 30k to Suncorp for a Tonga v Samoa three test series

    2024 Crowd Watch

    With England coming over next year, we should keep the Pacific Championships in tact for continuity and England play the team with the bye each week or just join the comp as an invitational side and tweak the format slightly: Pool A New Zealand Samoa Tonga Fiji Pool B Australia England PNG...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Should nudge over 30k
