New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Wb1234]

2009 after that wc win saw a massive uptake of League in NZ. If that success was maintained, the game would be dominating now.
If the Kiwis start beating Australia, not only will interest in watching internationals increase in NZ but it will in Australia too.
We don't want to beat nobody's.

Like qld in origin they need more clubs to vs Australia properly

three would be the ideal

No the trouble is history says it isnt so when dealing with Sky NZ. There is literally no evidence that they will increase the deal 40% on an already increased deal unless there is competition for the rights .
But like I said its all hypotheticals as you or I dont know for sure, Im sure its one of the things NRL is discussing with them in deciding on future teams.

They hadn't increased the deal because nothing had changed.
Things have changed.

You and Gobs need to get on the same page lol

I don't think the All blacks or their popularity is anything to concern the NRL, the only subscribers they are really bringing in are bars. There's not a lot of people forking out for a subscription for 10 games a year, maybe 3 or 4 that are a contest- you just go to the pub .

How many tests do you think the all blacks average each year lmaoooo

It's the potential supporter that is important for a new team- not his wheelhouse.

Fair enough. Gould aside, there is plenty of room for SEQ 4 and they'd be top 5 in terms of support in the NRL straight away

so are Sky paying more than double what they pay for NRl because of All Blacks few games or becasue of Super rugby subscriptions? You seem a bit confused.

Super rugby is worth dogpoop

Huh? I didn't realise we were supposed to have the same opinions lol. If you're following the conversation, we both contribute differently and use each other's information to fine tune our opinions- that's what conversations are.. an exchange of information and ideas to form a better opinion.

Do they have google in Perth ?

Yet you advocate for p and r in Super league and a Perth team. Go figure.

Yes If I could be arsed but I have no interest as its irrelevant to discussion on a nz2 team

Yep, the Kiwis are the only national Rugby team that can beat Australia at a sport we actually care about
