New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Perth Red]

Yeh that’s for a whole season

what would Perth average with a bad team over a season ?

under 10k ? You look at the force and the glory and wonder

Not like they were bottom.
Breaking news, club plays sht, fans wont pay to watch them. Wow you're some Einstein.

2006 Warriors avg'd 8,829 and finished 10th. Maybe we could beat that?

Warriors 22k and they have never won a comp and the whole nation is going crazy for them

if they win an nrl title it will mean more than winning a union World Cup

if Perth win the nrl will it mean the same as the eagles winning a flag ?

kiwis get rugby league and appreciate it

Lmao you totally ignored my post

Lmao you totally ignored my post

Because you're post was dumb and I couldnt bring myself to stoop to that level of stupidity! Youre delusional if you think Warriors winning NRL will get the same response as All Blacks winning a world cup across NZ.
But stupid is as stupid types.

ok lets see. IF warriors get more than 2million people watching them on TV in NZ you'll be proven right. But somehow I doubt they'll come close.

Top 12 highest rating TV broadcasts ever:

• 1. RWC 2011 Final (NZ v France) 23/10/2011 TV1, TV3, Sky & Maori 2,036,900
• 2. RWC 2011 Semi-final (NZ v Australia) 16/10/2011 TV1,TV3, Sky & Maori 2,024,000
• 3. RWC 2011 Opening Game (NZ v Tonga) 09/09/2011 TV1, Sky, Maori 1,930,000

Yep hope so, not really an upset though given our record against Broncos. We just need to play our best and its ours.

Need a big game from Paps. Storm out gunned in the forwards.

yeh but have been all year. It'll be close and think it will be down to biggest game of Munster v reynolds for who takes the bikkies. Should be a cracker!

 

[The Great Dane]

Committed ones, hence why there are known bidders building businesses cases and speaking with the nrl in perth, png and brisbane right now. And the go anywhere Bears.

I just don’t a risk averse nrl announcing nz2 and hoping someone comes forward to back it.

One man's "committed" is another's fiscally irresponsible it seems.

At this point you're just avoiding the substance of the argument.

 

[The Great Dane]

good timing for either NZ2 or Perth. West Coast Eagles got the AFL wooden spoon - i think they were losing games by 100 points on a consistent basis this year. The NRL needs to take advantage..

The WC Eagles results have had little to no impact on Aussie Rules popularity in WA.

RU has serious problems that are killing interest in the sport itself across the Tasman, nothing similar is happening in the AFL.

Now that the ABs got the ‘87 monkey off their back with a couple of recent wins I think Warriors maiden NRL win would get a bigger response than another All Blacks WC where they are expected to have a decent shot at winning it each tournament.
Besides it’s a bit of a moot point what NZ2 would do to Union in NZ, most would just follow the new NRL team along with their super rugby team- it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Just like many who support the Warriors now will also have a super rugby team they support

If Hass has a good game Broncos win

Going to be the game of the year

this season since origin has been crap

 

[MugaB]

what were previous crowds like at Hamilton and Wellington for NRL games?

Hamilton sold out, Wellington did not, but that was round 1 vs knights, which in hindsight probably should have been scheduled atleast amonth into the season, then maybe it would have, or got close.. round 1 games away from your traditional homes aren't really good indicators for a season, if you look at mt smarts average its pretty good

 

[MugaB]

Split the fanbase ?

how many games do you think the good citizens of Wellington christchurch or Dunedin make to mt smart stadium

lmao

They dont come to the games to see the new team, they come to see the wahs... up the wahs!!!

Actually they are mire likely to appreciate both equally and as proud for each code, as al aussies were backing the matildas... the wahs are nzs Matildas... so you not correct in this instance

 

[MugaB]

Not as good as 45k for 4 teams not from the city

Oh my god give the perth gloating a f**kin rest, this is an NZ thread, not perf fmd

 

[MugaB]

If Hass has a good game Broncos win

Incorrect again... if carrigan has a good game they will win... he is their mood indicator, if he is ripping and tearing taking multiple hit ups per set, they win, if he is struggling and tired, they could sink

 

[Wb1234]

They dont come to the games to see the new team, they come to see the wahs... up the wahs!!!

Just keep saying that tomorrow from 4 pm
