Why are they saying a team by 2026?

That's bonkers.

Makes sense. He’s got some NZ connections, has been spotted in an All Blacks jersey before. Quite the coup for the SI bid.

Abdo said it’s not being decided till end of 2024 so that only gives 12 months to build a club and a team. Good luck with that!

That double header idea sounds good, I'd like to go down and see the Warriors and the Blues take on the inbreds. Good weekend trip.

Christchurch would be heaving for that!

Are you just throwing his name out there or have you heard it’s him? Cause the article says it’s a kiwi Hollywood celebrity, Momoa isn’t a kiwi, he’s Hawaiian

You're a funny little AFL troll aren't you.
End of 24 doesn't mean December 31st ... and the season doesn't kick off on January 1st.. so...

Sounds to me like exactly the same time line as the Dolphins ( overwhelming success)

But please troll on .

There is just no substance to this bid.

So far it's all just boasting on socials.

And yeh, it's not happening by 2026.

You don't come out in the press and announce that you can't announce anything.

Your bid seems amateur mate.

They're launching at Vegas, so I guess we're in for a few more headlines yet.
I think I'm coming around to another NZ team! Incredible that at the same time a Super rugby franchise is in administration... the thread looks to be ageing like a fine wine.
