New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Perth Red]

I’m out at the moment. What’s the crowd like?

Looks good, maybe 14-15k? ground holds 18k and looks 75% ish full.

 

[Perth Red]

The comparisons you're drawing on now

Hang on champ, you said you were impressed with the proposed multi city model. I’m simply asking why?
Pointing out no other sports club in the world uses it other than gws. So presumambly you are using the gws outcome as why your impressed?

Getting big crowds in Christchurch and rotarua shows there’s a market for more league games in nz

12 games a year is the minimum for Auckland which is where rugby league is strongest in nz we don’t want to take away too much content from our heartland markets

Warriors belted Storm 56-18 in SG Ball too today but there are no juniors over there either

There is no doubt, problem is unless those cities are willing to stump up $300k plus a game other clubs won’t take games to them, and rightly so from a pure business point Of view.

ideally nrl would use some of the new sky money to sweeten the deal for Australian clubs to take games against the warriors to these cities, but alas no sign of that happening. A lot of what nrl says about nz is lip service.

As they should with a whole country of u 18’s&u19’s to find 20 players from.

Nice

just shows why nz2 will have better juniors than Perth too

BAHAHAHAA this thread is so funny. A one off crowd gets about the same as the average super rugby crowd there, yet League is "thriving" and needs a second team here and super rugby is "dying".... You couldn't make this shit up.

They did have extensive try outs to get their side but they are 2/2 so still a small sample size

It's a trial match!! and it matches a Super Rugby contest!!

A one off after several years, when it's the ONLY game there this year.... and it couldn't sell out an 18K stadium

Bro the last time he watched a league game Brett Kenny was still playing

Trial match. Do you even know what a trial match is?

And its the ONLY match there this year.... Looks like not many people in ChCh and the Canterbury surrounds want to see Rugby League played by NRL level teams.

 

[Wb1234]

So it looks like nz got two of the top three crowds for this competition

You know he’s been claiming he lives in Spain to people now

Were you dropped on your head as a child? It would explain your lack of intelligence.

That isn’t in question, it’s all the other areas they pull up short. Unfortunately for the warriors nrl premierships are not won by the U19’s lol
