New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Matua]

Aotearoa is the Māori name for the north island.

It's also used for the entire country as well.

You're just being a loon/troll now. I can't believe you're actually that thick that you believe the rubbish in this post.

A guy from 3rd division rugby was a cult star of the NRL this year ...

Yeh he’s still a year away from making the nrl

put it this way our players have made it in every football code bar soccer (afl union nfl)

it’s pretty funny you come on a rugby league forum and get surprised people think league is far superior as a product and our players are far better

get out of the basement a bit more

to me union is unwatchable and the standard of athlete is average to poor

Valence te whare is only a “cult star” for the dolphins because of his size and physicality.

he’s actually a pretty rubbish RL player from what I’ve seen.

Irony. ... again. Guy unhealthily obsessed with one sport is telling others to get out of the basement.

He's already played 12 NRL games while eating all the food in every cafe in Redcliffe.

I don't care which sport people like better, it's no surprise at all that league fans prefer league (especially here in Oz where you guys are still fighting a stupid forever war) I'm just calling you out on your subjective B/S.

Also who gives a fudge if Folau and Hunt played AFL? AFL clubs offer NZ school kids contracts and we barely play the game in NZ.

I'm not claiming he's good, just pointing out to Wb that a 3rd division rugby player can play in the NRL (and it goes both ways too, average league players can play high level rugby too).

He’s good at barging over for tries

his lateral movement is shocking

He(te whare) could actually be a decent RL player if he could stop eating and concentrate on his fitness and losing a few kilos.

15 to 20 kgs

15 to 20 kgs

I was actually shocked at how big he was when I saw him in his last outing for the dolphins.

if anything he’s even heavier today than when he was playing union. He’s like a heavier version of Konrad hurrell.

 

[Brian potter]

It was from Gold Coast..

Even better.

There’s a RL player(or 2 ) inside there if he can become more disciplined.

That's what I thought too, Bennett has gone soft, although he gave Milford the boot for being a fatty. I guess Te Whare is given a lighter hand since he's new.

He’s put on weight this season imo

Wayne gave him a lot of chances

they’ve cut a lot of players but he made the cut

obviously needs a good offseason

This is like a Tourette's post.

Most likely.

unless he drops a few kilos next season I can’t see him getting much game time or having a future at the dolphins.

 

[Brian potter]

totally unprofessional by both player and club.

Wayne gave him a lot of chances

baffling.

they’ve cut a lot of players but he made the cut

theyve invested a lot in him so maybe a last chance saloon scenario for him.

obviously needs a good offseason

to say the least.

Mate, there is absolutely a war between the Rugby codes. If you think it doesn't agree, then go and try to play Rugby League at a GPS school.

Yep absolutely, but current examples exist too and GPS schools, UAE and South Africa are some pretty egregious examples
