New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Wb1234]

The problem with RK is he can't win and will likely pull votes from Trump or Vivek.. I really hope these 3 work together. Vivek is only staying as a candidate in case they take out Trump I think. He likes Trump and like Trump just cares about the country, he'll pull in behind Trump when the time comes.

Yep agree with all of this

probably his hope of being vice president then taking over from the orange one after his next term

Kennedy is a bit of a nutter on things but he would have to be like his dad and uncle

us politics is a train wreck its so good

 

[Wb1234]

Totally agree, as passionate as they are.. they're not made for it, they're like 5,2 average..

They just defeated a fiji team full of nrl players

they defeated Great Britain who are full of tall players

Lots of jumping the gun going on here. NZ2 would probably be my pick if the backing is there and I’m hoping for a strong bid but keeping it in my pants at this stage.

That means Easts, PNG & orcas will have bids

Orcas is Wellington. Might bid as well but doesn’t look likely they’re involved in this bid.

no it means they are publicly announced interested bidders, along with Bears and Perth consortium.

Ur right I was wrong - thought it was southern ocracs.

Mostly made up of Australian born and raised players with some PNG heritage.

Zac Laybutt was there star player this summer, and he is born and bred in Central Queensland.

Not forgetting that it was in PNG and they also lost a week earlier and the fiji team was mostly fringe NRL and most of thier best weren't available .

Orcas was Chalmers baby and was going to be based in wellington. Kidd is the bloke behind the 'South Island' Bid interest.

This is hardly anything to take seriously but it will get the ball rolling...well ahead of schedule

Its interesting they have changed their language to club 18. They must be feeling confident if they think they will be next club in?

Mind you I saw all this hoopla for the Pirates in 2012 and CC Bears and that went no-where. Sometime bid interests get ahead of themselves and think they will influence where NRL will choose for next club if they make enough noise. Having been there and done it we know it doesnt work like that.

Um..no. 17th existing clubs ATM. Only conspiracy & cloak & dagger "bid" is Perth..

which will be hilarious if Perth ends up getting announced being the only one keeping things quiet, I'll be trolling you forever more

If it's best bid fair enough, but no significant backer yet.
