New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[MugaB]

Just keep saying that tomorrow from 4 pm

Im in no disillusionment, penrith should win this, but ill still be happy for the wahs to put in their effort, theyve over-exceeded everyones expectations, and if they win then great, we will go around the hard way and hope to best them in the GF if they make it

After last night, I'm thinking the Broncos win the comp! Too much winning coulter.

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

Ha ! The entire fox league post game commentary agreed with me
But sure, an anonymous person on the internet...lol

A lot of people assume that RU is so dominant and use the All blacks to make that's point.
But the All blacks are pure patriotism and the decline of Super Rugby shows that although there's always going to be patriotism- love for the All Blacks, the sport RU is in recession.
The Warriors don't represent patriotism and show that their success is growth ( massive growth) for the love of RL

Rugby league can't trump patriotism ( the All blacks) but can it dominant Rugby Union? Yes it can and will.
Next team nz = massive blow to RU.

Ngl exactly my thought

when they were all dominant it gave a little country like nz a (semi) global platform

I also wonder if the drain of players to league is affecting the calibre of the all blacks

you can’t take out hundreds of juniors out of the nz system and not expect it to have a long term impact

and the tv rights for warriors games now is through the roof

sky will be paying more and will pay even more for nz2

Bad day to be a New Zealander

The All Blacks and Wahs have been shown up to be pretenders.

100% agree with this. Union elitists would say that the kiwis playing league are only playing league because they weren't good enough to make it in Union. To this i say Rubbish !!

Nz Union fans are delusion if they don't see that the decline in the ABs coincides with the increase in NZ league players.

If players such as Manu, Asofa, Taumalolo, Fanu Blake, Ronaldo, Papalii, Tapine, Brown, RTS...etc had all stayed in the NZ Union system they would have played for the All Blacks.

The All Blacks are finally suffering the same fate as the Wallabies and England...thier talent is spread out over 2 codes.

This is utter b/s, the kiwis playing league are playing league because they want to play league and practically no one in NZ cares and claims it's because they aren't good enough for rugby. And even then some players just suit one sport or the other better, it's not a bad thing it's just facts. Tohu Harris was a good rugby player but he's an outstanding league player.

Our talent has always been spread out over two codes. There were more young NZers crossing over to league 10 years or so ago in the height of the paid U20s days than there are today.

Fonua Blake was never in NZ to have been able to "stay" in NZ rugby systems.

This whole post is uninformed bollocks.
