New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[The Penguin #6.]

Since you are claiming that it is NZR officials it shouldn't be to hard to find. Bare in mind that your claims are current, so making claims about things from last century are irrelevant.

That`s "bear in mind" not `bare". And I won`t start on trying to explain where "too" as opposed to "to" is used. Too hard.

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

touché ... I'm impressed you went through everyone of my posts to find it... too bad he isn't smart enough to point it out.

Don`t flatter yourself, I noticed it the one and only time I read it and was reminded of it with your " you really aren`t very smart" crack.
These things stick in my memory because when I see glaring grammatical errors, like the examples in question, the poster unfortunately slips down the credibility ladder for me.

Sure, sure... Like anybody is "credible" on here.

Some more than others.

Nah... nobody is "credible" on here. Everybody's opinion is worth the same.... nothing.

I think you mean " petty enough "

I'm not going to get into a code war. There's nothing to gain from it. What I will say is plenty of talented young rugby union players don't get selected to play for a Super Rugby team. A second or even a third NRL team in New Zealand would provide an option for these players.

No... I was right the first time, you are clearly "petty enough".

The problem with that is then you are going to have a bunch of 16 to 24 year olds who weren't good enough to play Super Rugby, who may have never played League signed by teams that don't have anywhere near the same training and skill pathways that the Aussie NRL clubs have.
Added to this the inability to sign decent Aussie talent to supplement these "juniors" and you have the makings of a worse team than the Warriors.
Without massive investment into junior pathways and junior coaching for a decade before a new team its going to be a failure. And given the impending demise of contact teams sports even that will probably not be enough.

Well it doesn’t seem thats working out for the warriors so why would it work any differently for another nz club?

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

Six nations, south Africa & Argentina, TV ratings for last world cup final was number 1 event for all of England..

Wanna compare it to the ratings of the soccer World Cup

soccer is the only big sport in England.. then cricket then nothing

the English club comp is a joke. It’s got teams in small villages like super league and the crowds aren’t much more than super league

Actually rugby world cup final drew much bigger audience in same year as cricket one. Both featured England. Rugby world cup is one of biggest sporting events in world

12.8 million was peak audience in england for 2019 rugby world cup final

Rugby World Cup final’s TV viewing figures hit 12.8m peak – the best of 2019 | Rugby World Cup 2019 | The Guardian

ITV’s broadcast of the Rugby World Cup final, in which England lost to South Africa, had the year’s best viewing figures with a 12.8m peak

amp.theguardian.com

Kiwi population is 4 million. I think rugby will be alright.

For contrast 2019 world cricket final got 8 million

4.5 million Britons watch Cricket World Cup final on Channel 4

Viewing peaked for drama of super over but still lagged behind Wimbledon final

Afl & NRL get about peak of about 4 million

O feel the burn
My 9 year old has better come backs

It wasn't a "come back" it was the simple truth.

And I'm sure you and your "9 year old" get along fine, you both have about the same intelligence level.

No really. I'm 1 up on her. I now know the difference between your an you're
But she does know the difference between to and too
Maybe she can help you out with that one

No need, mine was a typo, yours was simply ignorance.

Does she know the difference between "an" and "and"? you might be even.
