New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Te Kaha]

Yeah I enjoy it. Just been walking around exploring for a couple of hours and just found a little bar where the beers are like $1.30
I'd be spending way more in Australia.

But honestly mate. You don't seem happy and hope you're ok.

Yeah but you have never been a good judge of anything....

 

[Gobsmacked]

That's exactly what I mean . I'm trying to be nice and yet you insult and attack me.
These aren't healthy actions.
I really hope you're ok mate. Really.

That's an insult? really? statement of facts are insults? You really need to up your game. I'd say you should take a holiday, but that can't keep you away from your obsessions. maybe try therapy.

All you have is anger.
Sad.

Wasting your time mate. This is one angry ant. Must be to do with something other than here. This isn’t worth it.

There's obviously something not right in that mans world.
I think it would be best for him if we no longer reply to him .

I'm asking if everyone could refrain from engaging Te Kah to the betterment of the forum and him.
Please like if you agree

Once again showing you don't have good judgement about anything. Anger online is a wasted emotion, the fact you don't understand that also goes someway to explain why you are still posting here while on holiday on the other side of the world.

Wah Wah now? You are turning in to such a disappointment, I know how your parents feel.

So back on topic .
I didn't realise Super Rugby was this close to collapse but only 6 months ago. If the poor trend continues, then another League side sets up in meantime.
At the end of the current agreement..they're done.

Super Rugby Pacific: RA threatens to break from NZR in shock move

According to reports, Rugby Australia may leave Super Rugby Pacific and go it alone from 2024 onwards due to an imbalance in broadcasting revenue.

The kiwis ended up caving in and agreeing to share tens of millions of their tv revenues to keep Australia afloat

the simple fact is australia can’t support five professional sides and is now relying upon nz to keep them afloat

nz is doing this because without australian their own comp isn’t viable … you can’t have a comp of six teams

this is why I say a new nrl side would gain so much traction in nz is because of how weak union is at club level

You can trust Rugby Australia to make the wrong decision. It’s run by rank amateurs.

And there you have it. focusing on super rugby again.. focusing on irrelevancy, but focusing on that still like it actually matters.

Club level.... Yet another example of why Australians know nothing about NZ.

Literally. If Australia Rugby is out of Super Rugby, then Super Rugby falls. New Zealand has nobody to play or it's significantly diluted. The best players go overseas and what's left gets divided amongst twice as many smaller franchises..
Rugby fans in NZ would have to wait for when the All blacks played.
In the meantime, the only Quality highly professional Rugby week in week out... NRL.
If that's all they have and they have 2 teams, it will dominate The NZ sporting landscape!

And victory will be assured!

 

[Te Kaha]

Mind you all this bullshit posting by ignorant Australians is moot.

The next team will be Perth and there probably wont be another.

Nobody is going to pay for a new NZ team, Aussie broadcasters don't want it. It wont happen.

 

[Gobsmacked]

Rugby Union is always heavily backed by corporate heavy weights. The world economy is going into contraction..the first on the chopping block will be unnecessary sponsorship ect. Look at what's going on in England.. that predicament is in waiting for the Pacific. Just watch.
The NRL aren't anywhere near as reliant on such funds. A much more stable revenue stream to weather such a storm.

Absolutely agreed

they had the ideal competition with 3 Australian teams and the South Africans

I mean the Waratahs used to average 33k now it’s like 7k, the reds have fallen from over 25k to 10k or so and the brumbies from 18k to 8k. The force and Melbourne side are under 5k

that’s on top of disasterous tv ratings

either them or a league will die off I dunno which

I do lol

The NRL have a cool blend of historical clubs and new franchises.
Give it this unique and authentic experience.
Super Rugby is just like some made up thing run by corporations that is hard to connect with.
It's in for a big fall.
