Imagine I was arguing for pages about the massive blow a second team will deal to NZ rugby...
Just imagine there's people who think that's not a thing??
The closer we get to this reality more I think not only will it be a blow but more that it will be a death blow.
It won't be dead straight away but it will be very clearly and drastically in reverse the moment it's announced.

And with all your wonderful reading and writing skills...this ^ is the result..
I think I'll go back to skipping your posts.
Yeah sure you're definitely not running and hiding because you totally misunderstood what I said and made an arse out of yourself, you're just above it all.

People like you are why this sport will never live up to it's potential. . .

No assumptions, you're an arse, an negative one at that, and if i have to go read 5 pages back to see where your stupid flame war started, then its not worth reading about, but the end result is the same you carry on like a butthurt salty wanker, on every thread, commenting on trivialities that mean nothing in the end, just look how you try to justify the ARLC doing nothing or that they are too stupid to do anything that isn't one at a time just by finalsays comments, ...who the fụck cares mate

So you've chosen the double down on your stupidity option.

A massive blow definitely and maybe a death blow but to domestic rugby in NZ Only.

the all blacks will still be king in NZ for the foreseeable future but only for short periods of time throughout the year.

NZ Rugby must be pretty fragile if one extra NRL team would kill it off....

And Michael Searle, f**k me , there goes any tiny credibility that bid has

Come on he did such a cracking job at the Titans lol

The 'investors' are an interesting group. I wonder if they are putting anything in or just a broker to try and find investors in the bid and taking a cut? They dont look like sports club owners or sponsors per se, more third party brokers.

Darren Littlewood is now the bid manager according to his linked in.

Searle did a great job setting the club up

his failure has nothing to do with rugby league failures

titans had the best results and crowds under his tenure

Yeh, what a catch


Media has since reported the curious passage for the Titans' NRL licence bid, from the application stage to gaining an NRL franchise. It was clouded with deception, fraud allegations and scandal, and continued until the sole director, Michael Searle, was removed—only recently—and the National Rugby League itself assumed ownership of the Titans NRL franchise.

Among a raft of entry conditions for franchisees, the NRL required a provision of a $15 million cash bond to ascertain and maintain a viability of the franchise. The bond, although assumed by the NRL to be in place, did not exist. It would appear that this deception by Michael Searle then extended to indicating falsely to the Commonwealth Bank that the NRL would contribute substantially—an amount of $4.6 million—to the construction of the centre of excellence. He also made other funding promises, such as a builders equity, which were not true.

He will never be allowed to be involved with the NRL again.

Do 2 seconds of research you dumbarses.

Hang on wasnt he in charge when they went bust and had to be taken over by the NRl who promptly sacked him?

Could a potential South Island NRL team maybe team up with energy drinks giant company Red bull and become the “South Island Red bulls”?
