New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Perth Red]

Getting Sydney teams to play in New Zealand is a cheap way of providing New Zealanders with NRL games until the country has the resources to field a second team. If the games are used to promote the local competitions then it can have a positive impact on participation.

No one takes games anywhere unless they are paid $300k plus to do so. Whose paying for all these games to be taken to NZ?

Nothing says RL quite like Tonga v Samoa in Sydney lol

The biggest loss for nz was Phil gould leaving the warriors to go back to his second home of the bulldogs

when he was there he convinced the arlc to increase funding to the nzrl

being there more he would’ve become a huge advocate of the game and nz2 would be a greater chance for team 18 than it is now

I forgot about that. The only other solution is for the NRL to provide $300k to a club for taking a game to New Zealand on Friday 6pm.

Anything but Auckland for the Tonga v samoa would be madness with wellington a distant 2nd.

Partial funded by the NRL?

There was an offer for every game to be funded by an investor in nz but clubs don’t want to give up their home games

for keeping the comp going yes the nrl should’ve funded it fully or heck just told the clubs it’s the right thing to do

until we have a strong commission the players, the clubs and the state bodies will run the game for their own benefit

The best way that they could have said thanks, would have been magic round at Eden Park

Magic Round was created by Greenberg to appease the Queensland Government. His administration gave them the run around to extract more money from the NSW Government for the NRL grand final. Taking it away from Brisbane would get the Queensland Government offside. That's the last thing the ARLC can afford after alienating the NSW Government.

But what about the pokies, surely they have something to do with it too right?

English rugby clubs ‘heading for disaster’ after mounting £300m in debts

Harlequins and London Irish are two clubs noted as being particularly concerning

During our last World Cup I saw many union fans on Twitter all posting about how good the games were

this is why I believe another nrl team in nz is better then Perth because union fans appreciate our sport

100% the game isn't only better but the competition has never been better at a time when Unions is being vastly diminished.
The gap on a game/ season experience has never been wider.
A team in NZ significantly increases the game/ season experience for Kiwis and vastly widens the gap... thus DEALING A MASSIVE BLOW TO SUPER RUGBY

So now its a "BLOW TO SUPER RUGBY" rather than a "massive blow to NZ Rugby". Are you finally waking to the fact you don't have a clue what you are talking about? You're assumptions have always been full of shit, good to see you are walking back your predictions.

now Super Rugby isn't Rugby in NZ
I'm just going to take a wild guess that if the top professional comp in NZ takes a blow... that’s a blow to the game..
Your argument is down to semantics.
At least it's a step up from grammar
I missed you!

I’m all for giving people choice. Some will take it some won’t. At the moment we’ve got cities in australia and nz where sports fans don’t have a choice to actively follow a local nrl club. Hopefully that changes over the next decade or two.

It doesn't have to be local to follow these days but it certainly helps.

Once again you show your ignorance of NZ sport. Super Rugby is NOT the tp professional comp in NZ, that would be the Rugby Championship. But you aren't bright enough to get that. It's the All Blacks that pay the bills, not Super Rugby. But you're far too limited to understand that.
