New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

gutless lying sack of shit

Gee you sound like a top bloke! If only you could see how pathetic you look. You give the Rugby League stereotype zero favours

“Kiwis love going to world-class events and State of Origin is as big as it gets.

Seems at odds with what we have been told by our Kiwi friend on here. That is far from the first time on this thread though

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Which once again illustrates you don't care one single iota about Rugby League in NZ.

All you care about is your imaginary code war. You would quite happily kill of the game in the regions in the idiotic belief that it will "deal massive damage to NZ Rugby".

You're truly a pathetic individual.

Can you stop with this argument already? NZRL have had 100+ years to get it right and it's still a shit show. The NRL coming in is a good thing and has actually resulted in more Kiwi kids in NRL pathways, more professional players (and world class ones) for your national team and more money in the game than ever before. Going back to the 'glory days' of your local comp isn't going to help RL grow in NZ in 2023 any more than us putting the Broncos, Dolphins and Titans aside and reviving the BRL.

Yes, sure the NRL is taking a top down approach (hopefully with the Kiwis, Tonga and Samoa too when the CBA is sorted and the international calendar can get done) but considering that the game clearly has a decent following, it is not a bad strategy to boost the game at all levels.

That's not really what he thinks anyway, it's just a cover to attack the NRL. He's a Union f**kwitt that’s shiting himself as Super Rugby implodes and NRL takes over NZ .

I don’t know about a blow to RU as the title suggests. More a blow to intelligence and useful debate.

here’s a former All black crappin himself at the thought of another nz nrl side

Rugby suffers from financial struggles in New Zealand, so how would a new NRL team survive?

The great majority of NRL teams are propped up by millions of dollars a year by the NRL, so I just can’t see the value of a second team in New Zealand.

yeh he sounds worried lol maybe being a kiwi involved in pro sport he actually has a better idea than most Aussies on here?

“I seriously don’t think it will have any material effect, and I’m not sure the NRL really believes it can deal a crippling blow to New Zealand rugby, but rather it is just trying to improve the value of its own brand.

In that context, I would question whether a second New Zealand team would really stack up financially. It’s highly debatable whether another NRL franchise anywhere in New Zealand would actually lead to more people playing the sport

Domestic corporates are unlikely to provide much support and, equally, television rights don’t have a massive upside when the population is 4 million and the majority have access to rugby league anyway.”

You sound as scared as he does

yeh that was two years ago and there is still no sign of interest, from the nrl or from anyone in nz demanding a club. Really scared lol

i wish the nrl was lIke afl and had an aggressive expansion strategy and the resources to fully back new risky initiatives like nz2 that look like they will require a lot of extra support. Sadly we don’t have the balls or the money and nz2 will remain a good idea that never happens.

When it comes to growing rugby league it’s best to trust the Aussies

I wouldn’t exactly compare a 3rd world market to that of a developed country and one that is about to overtake the economy of the U.S.

Haha in 100 years australian rl has managed to get a top tier club in one new city. Great track record! Now afl, 4 clubs in expansion cities. There’s a sport who looks to growth.
