New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

Where should the NRL's 18th franchise go?

Finally, something you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand. With the Dolphins entering the NRL in 2023 as the 17th franchise,…

Good article and discussion on point.

Well mate you are really bad at your job. Using abuse and intimidation while in the role of moderator means you aren’t worthy of the role. And using abuse to remove posters must surely defy forum rules. I suggest you report yourself.

BAHAHAHAHA ... If you think I am "intimidating" you really need to get off of the internet. If you take ANYTHING seriously on the internet you need to step away from it.

And "worthy" bahahahahahahaha

Number 1 on this table. So was rated highly in Year 11, These are where the NRL clubs come in as opposed to really getting into the grass roots

This table has been discussed, it's just one train spotter so in general it should be taken with a grain of salt. But he might actually be right about him as he looked an awesome player in the games I saw him play, but he's always been a league player, he's not a rugby player being stolen away. He's played lots of representative league.

No you try to intimidate. And you try to bully people out of discussing things that make you uncomfortable. It’s clear you really dislike this discussion so you try to shut it down. It’s pretty obvious. It’s also clear you are not a good moderator and don’t deserve to be one. I hope that helps.

Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups... and you just made another one. "intimidate".. really? You sound jealous that you aren't a moderator. Perhaps if you ask they will make you one.

That’s all very illogical but it’s all I’ve come to expect from you. I’m looking forward to a prolonged discussion of this topic and all of your associated, predictable meltdowns.

You think i "intimidate" and you want to continue? a masochist it seems...

You're just another in a long line of ignorant Australians who assume that people in NZ, will think the same about a League and a new team that you do. You don't think about the damage it will do to the domestic scene here, and you don't care. It's why you only deserve derision.

"meltdown"??? riiiiiight. Its funny how close you and your mates posting styles are..... very coincidental.

Yep it’s also like he’s an alt rather than a newbie isnt it lol

Considering two of their posts where almost identical in two different threads, under differing accounts, it seems likely.

US sports use this sort of stuff. No guarantee he is any good but the point I used by adding it, Is that RL isn't just getting guys that don't make it in RU

Often in juniors players play both sports though, Guys like Pensini, Cam Murray etc went to Rugby schools while playing League in Junior rep sides. From the looks of it he has done the same

There are rugby guys that come from League too.
More money and opportunities for RL then the more that can choose that path, That is where expansion helps and the game won't stop at 18.

So whether the conversation is for 5 years or 10 time it is still going to be around

Interesting comment from a chap with 53000 posts most of which are dedicated to complaining about a man who doesn’t know he exists!

I have this amazing ability to read forums I don’t belong to and an even more incredible skill at looking at 5 figure numbers starting with a 5 and a 3 knowing this means at lest 53000. I really am special.

I’m not sure rugby league is in its death bed in NZ at all. It’s been in better shape but until we see how it and other sports revive after Covid, and we aren’t there yet, you don’t know.
The NRL and it’s NZ counterparts have a vested interest in strengthening the game and I can’t see a reason why they won’t. I find it a bit strange though that somebody can be so totally negative about league as you are on a league forum as you are . Each to their own I suppose but you sure enjoy death riding our code.

Pointing out the realities of rugby league in New Zealand and Australia isn't pessimistic. I'm glad we have New Zealanders giving us a realistic view of the landscape in the The Shaky Isles.

There's a lot of NSWRL fans on here who've deluded themselves into thinking the world revolves around Sydney. The narrative on this board is the NRL only needs a vastly oversaturated Sydney market based around nine financially u viable teams with minimal investment in New Zealand and the rest of the country to be the number one code across the Pacific. It's bullshit and there's no evidence to support their delusional view. The claims they pluck out of their arse to prop up their delusional views are bizarre. I've seen people persist with the absurd claim that a Perth team wouldn't be able to fly to and from the east coast, despite other sporting leagues managing it to do it for 40 years. There's the farcical claim that Sydney needs nine NRL teams because if it only has eight or less then everyone will go support the Swans, despite fumbleball being "shit" and having no support. Don't forget the nutters who think we need to "bring back the Bears" because apparently everyone on the North Shore became a paid up member of the Swans in 2000 and are the only people in Sydney who support fumbleball.

We have a great game that everyone on this board thinks is the best, but we need to realise not everyone shares the same sentiment. Plonking a second team in New Zealand won't convert RU fans into RL fanatics like us. We're a shrinking minority because the media is no longer limited to covering RL only. The cashed up and national AwFuL and global brands like the NFL, NBA and EPL are broadcast all over the country. Children get to watch them all while they're still impressionable and not set in their ways.

By the way could you try to stay on topic. You and PR are detailing the thread. I might have to report you to yourself!
