It's great to joke about now because we know it failed.. you never know if you never try.
Warriors selling out stadiums and a 30 million dollar tv deal doesn't exactly scream Afl in China bro.

Making claims and then not backing them up with any facts is trolling whether your prefer league or badminton. There's no good faith discussion.
All the points have already been addressed, why would I waste that time on you?
I didn’t dys it ‘can’t ’ happen, I said it would take Avery long time and a monumental shift in policy and revenue committment by the arlc. dont hold your breath!
Wow... seriously though, are you in a bunker right now?
Does anyone see the irony of an advocate for a Perth-based team ridiculing a market that has more than six times as many players as the WARL?
No points have been addressed Mr Multi, and your second part of that sentence highlights you're nothing but a troll.
They were definitely bigger than Hull KR.
Stop being a merkin, sayinf league will take over union in nz is as dumb arse as someone saying ’put a team in Perth and league will take over afl there’. It’s stupid and you should feel stupid for buying into the stupidity.
In English, please?
Like I said, we could but it would take a monumental shift on funding and decades of serious commitment. And arlc is unlikley to offer either. They’d need to up the current $20mill a year it spends in nz to $200mill for starters. You think that’ll happen? Then you’d need to bring in at least two more nrl clubs. Highly unlikely. Then you’d need a massive culture shift program in schools and jnrs, good luck with that. Then finally for all those efforts unless union declines to the point it looses public support then none of that will matter. People need to be realistic
Two nz nrl teams with a salary cap of 20 million pa and offering wages of 3 million plus pa will do it
Wait till tekaha chirps in on his alts
That’s Just pure stupidity. one nrl club in Christchurch is not going to see rugby league come close to overtaking union. It would need massive funds (nzru spend $300mil a year v around $27mill spent on league) and a massive up lift in people playing the game (25k rl players v 150k union players) for starters.
