New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[siv]

Does NRL pay that or NZRL?

NRL pays Oceania rep wages NZ, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji

It used to be to local countries but they were diverting funds

Makes no sense. It’s about 1/3 the size of Christchurch, isn’t really growing in population, and has never really had a strong local league scene. The only thing it really has is an excellent stadium but Christchurch will have that when their new one is completed.

In terms of areas of population that a team can realistically draw game day support from, it’d come in maybe 7th.

I wasn't being serious, well i was about it being a nice part of the world but not for a team.

So you do do as I say, yet you can't find a single "racist" post I have made.

Just shows how wrong you are.

Nah, the systems were down at my work for 2 hours, and i couldnt get any jobs, so I had to find something to do with my time.
I looked around, you stuck your neck out a little, I gave a little bait and you helped my time waiting go quickly.
Cheers for that!
PS: I really didn't think you were a racist, just that you do not make some posts clear what you mean and I took advantage

Fair enough. Glad I helped you pass your time.

That's a good point about the bears and the Jets but obviously the NRL are going to mirror the mens eventually.

Yep, and that's one of the major reason why it's going to fail to live up to it's potential.

I find it really demoralising to be honest.

Ngl this is another level of trolling

gronk and Perth red can really learn from the guy

I’ve been laughing for a while now how you all just keep getting sucked in

the fact that a geriatric would get somuch joy Winding you all up is hilarious

 

[The Great Dane]

There is barely any "bigotry" here now

LOL, what utter bull shit.

I've spent a fair amount of time in NZ, and the place is absolutely overflowing with the more insidious forms of bigotry.

The soft bigotry of low expectations, active discrimination against "majority/oppressor" groups to benefit "minority" groups, and run of the mill elitism, all run rampant in NZ.

The sad thing is that Australia is very much headed the same direction.

Looking at the pop stats I kinda changed my mind since all the pop is on the north island

Wellington should prob be the base but the stadium is. A punish and will affect the teams viability

*sigh*.. I was clearly responding to a post about "bigotry" between sports. If you aren't smart enough to comprehend that then that's on you.

Wait, 2000 pages in arguing about additional kiwi teams & you only just looked at population stats?!

Should’ve probably said Queenstown then!

You were asking too many questions about French rugby league and it took a lot of time to answer them

plus if not using google before posting was a the criteria here, you would hardly get many posts away

your posts about the ufc being a case in point ):

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

No but funding a proper NZ Cup might

It would be good if there was a proper domestic competition in New Zealand. It would make it far easier to add a second and third NZ team in the NRL.

I'm starting to think u don't know about nz & that ppl there aren't really one extra NRL team from disowning the all blacks..

Anyway

I bet the All Blacks would love to play in the NRL and also tour the world as well.

Kiwi's secretly hate all blacks & can't wait for NRL takeover

In reality, they're professional athletes and despite the All Blacks being the pinnacle of their aspirations, it would also be intriguing for them to participate in the greatest Professional Rugby competition spanning the tasman.
Trouble is, no NRL team are going to guarantee them a starting spot.
The game is played at a higher speed, more minutes with bigger collisions. The skill level and intensity is higher also.

Unless of course there's a new team in NZ that will spend the money and chance thier hand because the marketing involves a massive pay-off!
That offsets such a gamble.

The reality is 90 percent of the All blacks would fail to nail down a starting spot in the NRL.

ahhh "Reality" something you are clearly not familiar with.

RTS - one of the best fullbacks in the NRL, Daily M winner, Kiwi's captain. Switched codes to play in the World Cup Has not even come close to establishing a starting position and is looking more likely than note of missing a spot at the cup. If and when he switches back will walk back into first grade.
Benji - Daily M winner, regular First grader, also former Kiwi's captain, lasted five games of only Super Rugby before being cut and switched back, to play first grade.

Just because you think something, doesn't make it true. Actual evidence shows you are wrong.

The funny thing is, at the start of this thread you said a new team would be a "massive blow" to NZ Rugby by signing all these players, who you now claim aren't good enough....
