You wait and see.

Rugby League will be bigger than all other football codes put together in New Zealand by 2030.
You are shitposting that its the biggest code in the world bar soccer.

Sorry, did I get a slight detail of your lie wrong? Were you actually pretending to be an adult. My apologies for misremembering your lie.

Sorry, that's my fault. That's his next account.

In this one he didn't claim to be a teenager, just suggested he's the only one who truly understands the youth.

Meanwhile all the " not youth" on here keep telling me how it is and how Rugby will always be king..

They really have no idea how rapidly its happening, they have no understanding how rapidly trends catch on in the age of social media.
We are at the tip of the iceberg..
Imagine another NZ NRL team right now!
It's too late for SR or the NPC .. it's over. Any changes now is just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.

lol a grand claim about the biggest football code in the world.
Ratings are hard to find but what I can find says Union still rates about double League in NZ, out of that Warriors make up 90% of the total weekend NRL viewing numbers.
Said before Warriors are the biggest club team in NZ without doubt but outside of that league doesn’t have much of a footprint in NZ, NZ2 would obviously help but it needs massive help at grassroots to thrive.

People, quite rightfully, take the piss out of Aussie Rules for making outrageous claims(bigger in QLD than League, huge in Sweden etc) then turnaround and type pure bullshit like that.
The stated Union numbers vary between 140k-160k registered players depending on what you read. The NZRU governing body claim:

New Zealand Rugby has today confirmed 147,434 players for the 2023 season, an increase of 7 per cent, with women and girls' participation to 29,448.
Junior male numbers though are declining with 49,999 junior club boys registered, down 2 per cent on 2022.
However, senior men's club saw an increase of 3 per cent on 2022 to 33,500 players.
