New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[MugaB]

It's like there's 1 self serving prick that's in Perth ( not even from there) that only cares about himself and wants a team close by.. so draws every thred into a debate about there...

Just imagine a job comes up some place else.. he moves and every single debate...he suddenly disappears from..
Imagine Perth Red has to move from Perth... I f**king guarantee he wouldn't give 2 f**ks about a Perth team. Guaranteed.

It would most likely be about The Hulls

I’ll be long gone by the time it finishes. They’ve just opened another 43 million tonne mine with an estimated 40 years life span.

So it is all about you and your need for a local NRL presence, maybe in 40 years you'll get one

 

[MugaB]

Wb and gobshite can’t help but go there, sad really but some people are just obsessed and have me stuck in their heads lol

can pretty much guarantee they’ll bring up wa jnrs, iron ore prices, tv not wanting perth, crowds in 1997 infinitum, hull in every thread.

heres where this one started

then gobshite, Wb and mugab just couldnt help themselves lol

What are you namedropping me for, i only retorted to your waqa blake comments, and even agreed that he was a perth junior..
Dont be shclepping me into your private pisstake wars with grotd wb and gob... im a true expansionist, none of this were not getting this or that, i want it all, i want us into 24 club territory, even Perth and Adelaide, .....remember Politis knows, that might be your catch phrase, but I'm on that train, tooting that horn..
My only issue with this dialogue on LU, is the selfishess of each posters motives for each bid thread, and you PR even as passionate as you are about WA are blinded by your local talent, and the comparison to the east coast training, everyone else is just selfish for their own reasons grotd is gunhoe for his easts Brisbane bid, carnard just hates the use of cairns as a potential base for Png/Pasifika, WB supports it blindly, Gobsmacked wants anything Nz2, Centy coast trumpets the Anywhere Bears... basically you're all delusional with infighting, and all options are available right now, just work out what sux with the bid, own it and solve it, without resulting to oh but theres only 3 licences left garbage, thats a massive myth... the reason they brang up the conference system in the first place, was to not turn away potential bidders, they most likely will never need to get to conferences anyway

Sign me up for nz2 as well

if I were in charge of the nrl it would be png then mz2 before the afl states

nz is ripe for expansion

cowboys fans arguing against png are selfish

they are putting their club over the game

 

[Canard]

Not becoming a truly national sport, and remaining a predominately two state sport would be the worst decision the game has ever made.

Given that I fully expect the NRL not to expand interstate.

a lot of people here are anti-Perth just because of one poster. Put it this way - In a region of the world where there are so few cities over 1 million people, for us to ignore one that has 2 million, has such a high quality of living and spare income is just so f**king dumb on so many levels, its actually mind boggling. Hence why I have come up with conspiracy theories.... oh and the reasons people have come up with "too far to travel", "they folded during super league", "they don't sell out Optus for every once off club game" , "uh,..umm... nah they love AFL too much" , something about Hull? i didn't get that one.

When you lay down some decent arguments I'm supportive.
When people lie , exaggerate and shit on any alternative approach , club and region.. I'm forced to question everything!
The best chance Perth has is if people like Perth red stay clear the f**k out of view!

 

[Perth Red]

Nz2 anyone?

 

[Gobsmacked]

Nz2 anyone?

Yeah! In a south NZ newspaper today the back page boasting an article about Webby resigning with the Warriors.
All of NZ is League territory, a little help and it'll be number 1
A second team is nesasry!

Perth deserves a team

But they aren’t essential to the future of the nrl

nz2 and Brisbane 3 will be far more valuable to the game

if png pays off it will be ten times the club Perth will ever be

Perth will take a nieche out of wa and not produce many players

international expansion offers the nrl way more than Perth or Adelaide will

Nz2 thread, we have an 18th club thread for comparative commentary and a WA thread for discussion on a WA team.

 

[Wb1234]

Nz2

Yep nz should be in next with png

International expansion is the future of rugby league

the game is booming In nz now we would be mad not to capitalise on it

I'd love to know which bid is the preferred option. Abdo's comments about NZ2 a couple of years ago suggest they were looking at New Zealand. V'landys' retort to the WA Gov about the Bears suggests he's not keen on a standalone bid from Perth. The strong talk about Pasifika/PNG suggests it is now the preferred option, yet V'landys hasn't signed a contract with Albo.

My takeaway is the ARLC are not settled on any particular area and want all parties to put in a bid.

In all honesty, it's probably best for the ARLC to wait another two or three seasons before announcing the winner of the 18th licence. The clubs need time to develop another 30 NRL standard players to cover the hole created by the Dolphins.

 

[Perth Red]

Theres no need to rush any decision. New team is unlikely to enter until 2027/28 meaning a decision in 2025/2026 is fine.
In fact taking time and playing off the WA govt against the Feds for as much as they can get out of whichever the NRL thinks is a better location for a club would be the way to go. NZ2 has no bid yet so if its called for today they are screwed anyways unless Bears jump across the ditch.
NRL still has to decide of 20 clubs by 2032 is a viable plan and then Tv will dictate the reality of when and where to some degree and those negotiations are at least two years away yet.
There's still a lot of water to pass under the bridge yet.

Credible or incredible

Cameron George (Warriors CEO) made comments recently on SENZ about the NRL being really keen to help setup a NZ national league to sit under the NRL level in NZ. This in addition to the NRL funding the Warriors pathways in the NSW Cup system.

Absolutely brilliant to hear the NRL working cooperatively with NZ and investing in the growth of the game.
