NZer who had the misfortune to be born in (west) Australia. Then had the further misfortune of spending some of his life in Palmerston North.

So funnily enough if anyone bothered to watch the matty johns show last night, you'd have noticed that Laurie Daley had set up those dumb arguments up as a ball teaser to purposely make Gordie call out the BS laurie was spinning... both guys were in on it, it ended up being a shameful plug to advertise a show on channel 503, called "the great sports debate" (right up your alley, dane) tony squires is paneling a host of different aussie sports athletes each one representing thier own sport, apparently Gordon The Raging Bull, Tallis is the NRLs candidate,...
...Should be interesting too bad he cant deck eddie maguire, he'll have to use his brain words, not his fist knuckles...

Remind me not to watch this show. Thank feck it was all bull dust

Nah, you're just an oxygen thief who doesn't like it when you're world view is questioned, so, when it's convenient, you try to avoid having to address it by hiding behind crap humour.

You'll happily advocate for a position, debate that position, and pile on to others, but then pivot to the cry bullying "why are you attacking me, I was just trying to have fun" BS as soon as it starts going south for you.

Your debating a position of a man who lied on purpose, for advertising purposes... regardless if you think his position mirriors your own, he lied about it... attacking me doesn't hide that fact dane..
....just remember you stooped to my level this time..
And you got played

Another sell out in NZ tonight, Warriors averaging 22k+ in Auckland. Games outside of Auckland average 19k+ including the biggest club rugby crowd of the year for both codes last weekend in Hamilton, probably would have been more if Wellington wasn’t round 1. Very promising numbers.

Yes i mentioned the wellington crowd a few weeks back, its a shame that only in hindsight that could have had doubled there, maybe next season their other town games will be more centred in the season, especially around stadiums that have a huge capacity

If they played it this week could have been looking at 30k+ but not to be. Warriors first game at Mt Smart was their lowest of the year there as well so they’ve built up some momentum.

It’d be good to see a few Sydney teams take a home game there next year, Tiger’s crowd in Hamilton will have opened a few eyes to the possibility hopefully. Manly have played in Christchurch before from memory, it’d be good to see them get a game again.

Yes that Christchurch game was around after the terror attack

All of NZ gets in on the NRL when the Warriors are winning.
Why wouldn't we hedge out bets with a second team?
I think it's a no brainer, done deal.

Kiwi rugby league fans are something else

Tv ratings in nz would be through the roof

a second nz side now would have kiwi broadcasters jumping all over it

If a Sydney team draws the 6pm Friday night (Sydney time) timeslot - especially against a lower-pulling team like (say) the Titans, I wouldn't be surprised if they look to move it to NZ. Especially once that new covered rectangular stadium opens in Christchurch.

Said Sydney club will never allow that.
No club on the board with support that.
Never happen.

They can buy the games

clubs sell games all the time

and the Friday 6 pm is a dud for nsw teams many would sell it

Sydney clubs have been taking games to NZ on & off for years though so it already happens, just not always in the Friday 6pm time slot. Tigers V Warriors @ Hamilton is just the latest.

That Friday 6pm slot should be used mainly for NZ games and country NSW/QLD games that will sell out anyway. NZ works perfectly for that time slot.
