Lists the guys here after Covid destroyed the 2020 season.

went to Rugby then to League, Sounds very similar to the path the Australian juniors take. No reason you need to have mass changes to the Junior systems.

5 are in the Warriors top 30 for 2023

Daeon Amituanai is at Panthers NSW Cup team
Josiah Karapani - Development deal with Souths

Likely are still with them if they didn't get interrupted by Covid.

That was from half a season in SG Ball where the side was running 3rd. Would these guys be in NRL if not for the opportunity the Warriors bring?

How many others are out there that a new team would bring into the game

Māoris like islanders were made for league their talents are wasted in union
Oh good, you're an anthropologist now and you're telling us what our talents are for. Anything else you'd like to tell me about what I should be doing as a Maori?

You have to let that pass, being Australians they believe they know more about peoples outside their country than those actual people. He couldn't even spell it right, but he still "knows" better.

I don't know why you bother responding to @Wb1234. I've had him on ignore for months. I took him off ignore for five minutes yesterday to see what you're responding to, but I had to put him back on ignore as I couldn't be f**ked reading through his stupid rants.

two tours which saved the nswrl from going broke

They didn’t even know the rules before they came over either and still were competitive

that’s why the all stars game has meaning which you probably had no idea of

Well obviously not which is why I'm on a forum arguing with people who are clueless about NZ.

Yes, how about you let me know more about Maori contributions to league, you might want to finally tell me those PI players you would have selected in the Kiwis too, that somehow you keep forgetting to post.

Albert Asher, an All Black who was injured and could not tour with the 1907-08 New Zealand side, began organising with the NSWRL to host a tour of a New Zealand Māori side, perhaps inspired by the successful 1888–1889 New Zealand Native football team that toured Britain and Australia. Many Māori were reportedly unhappy by their treatment from the Wellington-based NZRU.[2]

from the wiki I linked in case you are lazy

a Kiwi who tars all Aussies with the same brush. I know some of those, my brother in law is one. Thinks all Aussies are conservative dumb rednecks cause he once read about Pauline Hanson on reddit or something. Also thinks Americans are all gun crazy trump supporters. Doesn't get that countries can have political diversity, something I don't think exists in the NZ bubble...

Another Aussie who makes assumptions. You do know what context is don't you? This is all in a League context, and given the posting of those in this thread, it's spot on. Hell we even had one of you telling the Māori on here they are not suited to play a particular sport. In another context that would be blatant racism.

And in your entire post only three words were relevant. The ones between "something" and "exists".

The Queensland Cup provides a pathway for players in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba and Tweed Heads to play in front of NRL talent scouts. If young players have to move to Brisbane just to get noticed then that will lead to many dropping out of the game.

At that level they already identified.

Apparently you can make "this shit up" since that was what you post was. Made up shit.

he’s just a kiwi version of the bogan from Logan

the nrl is bad because it decimated the local league as a fake argument when they really hate rugby league doing well

Ahh the racist speaks.... Tell us again what sports Māori and Pacific Islanders aren't suited to doing.
