Moana pacifika get awful crowds In Auckland

Nobody would watch this team and it detracts from the warriors fan base

Might as well base it on mars

It’s like advocating for 2 clubs in Perth- they’re covered with 1 and a 2nd will just dilute the other and struggle for its own niche

Playing out of Eden Park is interesting but that's it. Of course if they find money may leapfrog other bids. Imagine we get easts tigers & Auckland 2?!

Ironically further away from the pasifika heartland than the Warriors

AUCKLAND 2 BID.

has been rumored for awhile but a few peoples here were adamant it didn't exist..

Totally stupid idea, and totally stupid AI is different than adamant it didn't exist.

Game picked gold coast giants, crusher & reds as expansion teams despite dubious financial status. Titans was originally a consortium of businessmen. Selecting legitimately cashed up bids is a new thing for league.
