Indeed they do. If and when another kiwi franchise enters the NRL the warriors must revert back to Auckland. I’d like to see a Christchurch team play out of “rugby league park.” Decent ground with a capacity of just under 20,000. Also well named :wink:
Yes Auckland Warriors, is a good name, I don’t know why they change this
Wellington will be the Orcas.

Love the idea

You could let the Northern Conference be run by QRL

And you could let the Southern Conference be run by the NSWRL

The competition could be called First Grade

The Auckland Warriors went bankrupt and the licence and a few other things from the old club was bought by Eric Watson pretty cheaply. $1 I think but could be wrong. A new entity needed to be created and the new team was called the NZ Warriors. Watson recently sold the club and one of the two buyers was the Carlaw Park Trust which is an arm of the Auckland RL. There’s talk of a change of name back to Auckland and reverting to former home colours for home games

LOL

Here you go Dakink.

Yes, it really is f**king dumb to have a team using it's nations name, when all the other teams have a city or part of a city or area of a nation as their names, it makes the NRL look dumb too for allowing this dumb shit.
The Warriors must change their name back to Auckland again asap and their first color scheme was better too, much more interesting than what they have now, the only team that's colour scheme is more boring is Manly's one.

Not at all, nrl has shown zero inclination to ever have another nz club so why not have the single club that exists represent and be a club RL fans across the whole country and ex pats in Oz can follow? It’s only dumb because the nrl doesn’t have any interest in growing the game in NZ.

Yes, ths hap in America 50 yers ago, but instead of colasing into one comp they stay seperte and only unite in Super Bowl, incredible strong country.
if you are talking NFL then they are not totally separate as they do play inter conference games throughout the regular season but what i do find very interesting is the baseball system where the different leagues actually play with some different rules. that is just so bizarre to me.

I'm amused by the Telecraps assertions that you need conferences to generate more all sydney games as thats what draws the crowds. Have they actually looked at some of this seasons all sydney game attendances?

Sharks v storm and sharks v broncos drew bigger crowds than
v roosters
v panthers
v Eels
v Wests

Easy move the sharks to Perth.. Then they can be apart of the Storm/Broncos Conference...

What I’d like to see the NRL look like in say 10 years time would be :-

Conference “A”
Brisbane broncos
North Queensland cowboys
Gold Coast titans
Brisbane 2
Ipswich/Logan franchise
Port Moresby vipers
South African franchise
Perth
Melbourne
Adelaide
Canberra raiders
Cairns or Darwin franchise

Conference “B”
Newcastle knights
Central coast eagles
Illawarra stealers
South Sydney
Parramatta
Canterbury
Cronulla
Penrith
Roosters
West tigers
North Sydney bears
St George dragons

Puts tin hat and flak jacket on whilst slowly creeping under the table :wink:
Love it.

Top 8 from each conference go into a straight 16 team knockout playoff. So 1st from conference “A” plays 8th from conference “B” and 2nd from conference “A” plays 7th from conference “B” and so on.

Also rotate the grandfinal each year. From suncorp, Perth, Melbourne, Eden Park, Sydney and Adelaide. Minimum stadium capacity of 50,000.

You mean like Wests Tigers, Western Reds, PNG Hunters, East Coast Tigers, West Coast Eagles, South QLD Crushers, North QLD Cowboys, Northern Eagles, Western Bulldogs and a host of South African francheses in Super Rugby (Union)? Do all of these teams and sports look ''dum'' too?
