BAHAHAHAHAHA you have tried to stop posting at least twice, but you just can't. I'm echoing around in that empty head of yours.

That's "You're" not "your"... You really aren't very smart at all.

Problem is it also set to bring in $32mill a year and is a major supplier of talent for the arlc. arlc can’t grow the game in nz, only the nzrl can do that.
Arlc are happy, kind of, to give two Independent RL bodies in Australia $40mill a year. Don’t see why nz is any different?

QRL and NSWRL feed into the ARLC by supplying players for the national teams.

I'd like to see NZRL and PNGRFL work together to create better pathways for talent. If there's a decline in participation numbers across New Zealand then Papuans could be brought over to supplement the local competition.

Missing the NPC last year essentially meant he didn't have a chance to get up to speed in the game so this would be unsurprising news.

Still he has AB on his CV now which if we're being honest about he doesn't deserve. Kind of wish he'd switched back in time for the RLWC though.

Yeah, kiwi's struggling to get into NRL...not

I'm talking about player numbers in New Zealand's domestic competitions.

You're talking dribble,

you always do

I'll see what I can dig up, you know as well as I do that it goes on though

Why bother guys a troll

Union has a history holding league back it’s common knowledge

only an idiot would try and deny it

Awwww bless... doesn't bother to read what I wrote, but like everything else in this thread, he gets it wrong.

I didn't deny it happened. I said it no longer happens and hasn't in decades.

You could prove me wrong about that. But you can't.

 

[RL The greatest game]

There would be 2 big benefits of NZ 2. 1. It would eat into union playing numbers and 2, it would kill off for ever of fumbleball ever having a AFL club there

 

[Gobsmacked]

I was watching an old replay the other day of Warriors vs Broncos. End to end constant action until something broke and the Broncos scored.
There's no comparison
Union will never compete with league in the long run, not even close.
Put another team in NZ and watch it slowly eat everything in Union over time.
I understand There's some Union die hards but outside of that the game is in for a slow death ☠

I don’t mind to be honest

they could put a team in Wellington and we could in Christchurch and with both codes financial muscle just bleed union dry

globally if union in New Zealand went the same way as cricket in the windies it would be a msssive loss for union

I would argue without the all blacks rugby union internationals become irrelevant

AFL in NZ has zero chance of happening

They wouldn't be irrelevant but geez it would take a massive hit.
They're the whole reason Union is big in NZ. The small country of NZ can beat these big countries. They're the best at something. It's built into them.
But what if they start to win in league against Aussies at a sport that's massive in Australia...
It's a bigger prize.

Yeh but they play the dregs of Australian rugby players

they should want to test themselves against the best players in the world

Geez there is some delusion in this thread.

Aussie Simpletons Delusion "sky will pay more for a second team"
Reality " Sky will pay only as much as they need to, to beat the next best bid. A lot less than the pay now."

Aussie Simpletons Delusion " a second NRL team will decimate the playing stocks of Super Rugby \ The All Blacks"
Reality " Central contracting and well established pathways ensure that wont happen"

Aussie Simpletons Delusion "NRL players are better than Rugby Players"
Reality " Benji and RTS say hi. Granted SBW did well as the most successful bench player in a while."

Aussie Simpletons Delusion " A second NRL team will eat into Rugby's support"
Reality " 27 years of the warriors proves that wrong"

Aussie Simpletons Delusion: "There is support for a second team in NZ"
Reality " there isn't even a credible bid"

Aussie Simpletons Delusion: " There are sufficient playing numbers in NZ."
Reality " Junior numbers have been in steady decline for decades."

Aussie Simpletons Delusion: "The NRL will put money into NZ for junior development"
Reality " They haven't done it in 27 years and aren't about to start now"

Aussie Simpletons Delusion: " The Kiwis beating the Aussies will make the interest in League explode"
Reality " Just like it did when the Kiwi's won the Tri nations and the World Cup.... oh wait"

Aussie Simpletons Delusion: " A couple of Aussies who don't know anything about New Zealand Sports, claim they know everything, and NZers who live here don't know anything about it."
Reality " Its clearly a delusion"

And that's why they have to play league.

Can’t wait for another epic meltdown from you know who !
