You and your buddy Gob going for biggest strawman of the year award?

Your new fan favourite Moses Leo was on fire in that game. Probably his best NPC performance, at least of matches I've seen him play.

Rebrand pretty much done now. There might be a few Countdowns still having signage changed, but it's effectively Woolworths now.

Crazy that they didn't go with Woolworths all along.
Apart from the bilingual signage and the selling of Alcohol Countdown was Woolworths in all but name for years anyway. Home brand, format etc is all set from Aus

Probably comes packaged with other games they want to show.
Yep, although Fox used to be selective with the games when they had the rights. They once didn't play two quarter finals whereas at least Stan will play everything and they cut up highlight packages as well.

Be interesting to see whether Stan still gets the NPC is it becomes unbundled from the Super rugby contract as NZR has suggested.

Bad look for super rugby nz
It's a stupid selection by the Crusaders. They really are broken at the moment. Up until this year I would have advised any Chch NRL team to work with the Crusaders, now I'd suggest they avoid them like the plague.

TBF, he's 34 so age isn't really an issue in and of itself.

“She said ARL needed to operate in an accountable and transparent fashion that was answerable to fans, the 10,000 players across 30 clubs and $15m in value it represented, along with the $78m held in its charitable investment arm, the Carlaw Heritage Trust. “

If they still have 78 million in assets from the sale of Carlaw park that’s not a bad thing

Nrl needs to take over the nzrl and sort out the mess in the game
sounds like its an Auck RL mess that NZRL has been trying to sort out but has little constitutional position to do so.

Good to see the British colonialism mentality of taking over anything you feel is inferior has carried on in the Aussie spirt :)

No its actually the opposite... the review was commissioned by the new ARL CE, and NZRL are trying to meddle in things at the behest of some of the ARL directors who got suspended. Its a classic old boys network closing ranks.

Hopefully the new ARL leadership stands firm and run a broom through the whole circus. And with any luck the same thing will happen at NZRL as well.

Hope it can finally be sorted, incompetence with league admin has held the game back for years in NZ

They still having voting power and with clubs can get rid of any commissioner
lol the clubs will never back the boomers in the state boards. Like I said, they have always been about feeding old boys. It's a hangover from Union days.

Can you clue me into what say the NSWRL and QLR have in the game today?

Edit: That legal case has nothing to do with the run of the game nationally either lol. Why are you so dishonest?
