Hurr durrka durrka, scorpions are cool, but so are tigers, dragons, broncos and cowboys... none of which have any relevance to the area they play in other than our colors look like a tiger durrrrrr...
or this bay area is called St.george so lets be the dragons, or dargon slayers durrrrrr...
We like vikings durrrrrr lets be the raiders...
Not everything needs an explanation or relevance, even if you so badly want the new NZ (if it ever eventuates) to have a story behind its choosing...
Firehawks was the perfect example of shitting the bed with trying to resonate a native bird to the new seq bid... it was shit.... continue on raving about the local fauna in the south island you think should represent them... maybe a generic bat or something

Duurrrrrrrrrrrrr
Every example you've given had some sort of 'relevance', with the debatable exception of the Raiders whom didn't have control over their brand (odds are that they'd be called the Griffins or Brumbies if they did, take a guess why!). You can pretend that isn't true if you like, but all that does is show you for what you are.

Scorpions don't have any 'relevance' to Christchurch, the South Island, or NZ in general, and is up there as one of the most unimaginative and stupid ideas you've ever come up with, which is saying something for you. You literally just stole it from an amateur club from Dunedin.

I also haven't suggested any brand for a South Island team, nor have I said that it must be a local animal. So like always you're full of shit.

The Firehawks brand totally failed to translate (which was a product of the ignorance and lack of curiosity of the average Australian more than anything else) and was a failure as a result, but it wasn't half as shit as anything you've ever come up with. Then again you've never actually come up with anything on your own, just stolen other people's ideas and made them shitter.

A team from the South Island could use a moose as it's mascot. It'd work better for a team based in Dunedin or the south of the island more so than Christchurch, but it'd work.

There you go @MugaB, it took me all of 5 seconds to come up with a better non-native species to use as a mascot for a South Island team than a scorpion, that is both unique (in the Trans-Tasman context), has an interesting history, and is 'relevant' to the region. I'll let you google why moose are relevant to the South Island.

You could use weasels, hedgehogs, stoats, or chamois as well, but you're probably too ignorant to know what a chamois or stoat is.

Well done south island moose it is then, perfect up there with the bats of Wellington, and many species of frogs and geckos...

Keep dreaming my delusional friend. In a decade the landscape will have changed dramatically.

Every 17 yr old wants to be an All Black until an NRL club comes along and offers him 5 x the money.

The NRL only wants the top talent, the all blacks can have the left overs.
French rugby can offer the AB's as big a money as the NRL and they don't need to learn a new game.

Despite the fact that league hasn't attracted a big name AB in what 20+ years, or even big name Super players, and despite the fact that the biggest league converts in recent years are a 7s player with a history in league and a guy from 3rd division rugby, this is somehow evidence the NRL only wants the top talent. Hmmm, ok.

you made the claim c^^khead

back it up

Why? It clearly annoys you. The empirical evidence is there for all to see, 16.2K attendance compared to a capacity of 19.7K or 21K with the temporary seating.

But after the announcement of PNG, the only thing you can hold onto is a game from a couple of weeks ago... and you're really holding on tight... it's very amusing.

So you are saying the deliberately lowered the tickets available to have a "sell out"... can't have been expecting much of a crowd then. And then to go an sell tickets at the gate... weird.

Still stings the NZ2 is dead doesn't it.

So now you are calling the sky commentators liars... you are really going to town now.

And "10 articles" didn't say that, several of them stated it was HEADING to a sell out.. to bad it didn't.

How sad for you, having to dwell on a past game to avoid facing the fact that a PNG team will be the next team.
