Rugby League World Cup organisers seem to have written off the Kiwis’ chances in their semifinal against Australia.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, World Cup organisers have already booked a flight home for the Kiwis for the day after their semifinal against tournament favourites Australia on Saturday morning (NZT).

It was a move reportedly made before the start of the tournament, with organisers forced to predict when teams would be eliminated due to logistical reasons.

If the Kiwis were to upset the reigning champions on Saturday, it will cost tournament officials $380 per ticket to change the flights, according to the report.
Organisers had reportedly been forced to fork out around $10,000 when Samoa knocked out Tonga in the quarter-finals over the weekend, after originally banking on Tonga progressing to the semis.

Lucky the Kiwis beat Fiji last week or else that would have been another $10k down the toliet

Bit of a extra reason to win it. If that doesn’t get ‘em revved what will?

Kiwis using the QLD mentality to pump themselves up.

I actually think they lost focus last week and already had an eye on Australia.

They didn't expect Fiji to take them to wire.

They will be better this week.

Hopefully its a classic.

Australia and New Zealand have only played 1 WC game since 2008 Final and that was a 34-2 win to Australia in 2013 final.

Lol. Fake news to get the morons riled up! The organizers do it for all the teams. Apparently it saves money no matter what the result.

Exactly, they have to book in advanced to save money. Cheaper to move the flight.
But do Australia have a flight booked???

I just think it's pretty poor form someone close to the organisers leaked this info out....especially considering its getting a bit of air time in NZ media...its just amateurish....

So it's fair to say that you're not.... a fan ?
It seems od to me that you'd spend so much time commenting and posting on something you don't believe in, like or appreciate...trollish even lmfao

 

[miguel de cervantes]

good call from kiwi management. saved a dollar

 

[Nuke]

Have a safe flight home, NZ..!

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Rigged.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

So does that mean they have to bring forward the English NRL players flights home now

 

[Zappa26]

Good call by Madge on Jared WH. At least he knows the difference between an enforcer and someone who continually leaves his team a player short.
Why do Trent Robinson and Nick Politis keep a serial grub on their books? Surely not a good PR image for Easts!
