    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Is it though? Looks similar to say dubbo

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    I haven't seen team boxing? Is it like wrestlemania?

    Scoot Airlines

    It's the tier down from Jetstar. It's "very" budget. I'm sure there are horror stories which dont reflect the average experience because they'll be staffed at the bare minimum so if anything goes wrong expect delays and limited attention. Athens from Aus might be a very tough journey on this...

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    To be fair he said sport 😀 Even then the earnings of the UK comp is equivalent to 4-5 league one teams (third division). So still scraps but the "sport" of Dad bods probably has a lot less overhead

    NRL Report calls for return of NYC (U21s)

    Worth noting reports like this generally have a laundry list of "should" do items. I contributed to a few, in what feels like a lifetime ago, and it's just there to justify what ever management does next becit was in the report (with 30 other things they'll ignore)

    Well every argument on recruitment needs an assumption of all else being equal otherwise is a 20000 page treatise on the decision making of many. Just as you've made an abundance of assumptions above. First let me say clearly development is a better club angle. Also never said every player...

    That's largely about why more australia develops more. Doesn't explain why someone, regardless of heritage, doesn't take the opportunity to make significantly more money for the same cap figure once developed. Particularly players in their prime where it's a material difference without...

    PNG's back.

    I think the other aspect with that NZ/AUS disparity being highlighted is that despite having a tax rate much lower than us and no capital gains (a much bigger deal for many players once on big money) talent has flowed out more than in. Tough to know what that driver is but I've never...

    I was more meaning png is only as big as tassie but also not exactly buying the afl Asian domination:) Genuine expansion has become incredibly tough with media access effectively bring US sports and football to everyone at near 0 cost to their games.

    Well about 12:10 today. Saw a car stop at a red light which was just for pedestrians even though there were no pedestrians trying to cross. Your position is that laws are utterly pointless and there has never been an instance in the history man kind where people have avoided breaking the law...

    And It's an odd "first" because technically once you go offshore you can't be domestic. But hey any time you can access an economy like Tasmania you pull the trigger

    As I said take it as you will I also know such gambling is prohibited in Australia but hey, thought the audience was educated. My bad

    Well if you think I'm trolling then you've kind of answered your own question right? Otherwise it could be taken as a light hearted way of pointing out we're deliberately putting people in danger. Take it as you will

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Sure.... That's the rational takeaway.

    Are any bookies offering a market on the month for the first violent crime event involving an NRL player/employee

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    And Vlad gets paid via another entity (racing) who engages the same customers (bookies). There's no scope there to do a deal for league that results in racing getting more revenue and then more money for him as ceo at all... The conflict of interest is so overwhelming but hey we don't care...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Worth noting most of that loss repair comes from giving less money to local rugby league. Investing in hotels over the game seems an odd decision.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Your entire argument was monetary Sorry didn't see your multi faceted analysis in the original post. So you're really saying the union players who value money, but not over travel (so the south island only presumably), or can't handle people who have English as a second language rather than...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Didn't one of the supporting articles list something like current NRL players from the Canterbury region? A lot of the NZ rugby players are PI heritage think the last NZ data had less than 10% of Tongan heritage kiwis on the south island
