New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Wb1234]

Who cares ?

But using figures that are spent 90 percent plus in Australia to support an argument about NZ is pretty irrelevant

The aru cares

Why don’t you answer the question ??

Why is the nzru trying to keep the aru from collapsing ?

 

[Gobsmacked]

We are talking about which will be the No 1 code in NZ

Like what one is followed every week for 7 months straight? That one? Or the 6 games at test level?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Imo ? Go ahead, tell me how many teams a domestic Rugby Union comp in NZ will have on what salary?
10 teams spending 3 million a piece? Even that isn't sustainable .

It’s your opinion to say it’s an “inferior competition“ … plenty in NZ will think otherwise even if it was fully amateur

The aru cares

again ..I don’t care …

The one that has the All Blacks playing a dozen tests a year, plus Super Rugby plus NPC

If you don’t care then stop responding

/ end debate

The nzru are trying to help union in Australia because they can’t go it alone financially

This is a debate about which code will be the no 1 code in. NZ..

If you want to talk about how much money the NZRU gIves to Australia…I suggest you move on

OK so significantly less talented players, playing in front of a fraction of an audience for peanuts at a slower pace with no history or social relevance with a net worth of around 5% of the NRL. .. being inferior to the NRL is just my opinion? Lol

As usual you struggle to keep up with the debate

The nzru doesn’t have the finances to compete with the nrl on its own

That’s the point

It’s not the point we are arguing you dumb *** !

So this will all change because they move from one NRL team to two?

 

[Wb1234]

It’s not the point we are arguing you dumb shit !

How many teams do you think are in the Npc ?

How many top level sides can nz support financially for union ?

 

[BuffaloRules]

How many teams do you think are in the Npc ?

How many top level sides can nz support financially for union ?

And how many top NZ sides will their be in the NRL ?

 

[Wb1234]

That’s the point you dope

Nz is a tiny rugby market and needs Australia to stand on its feet lol

lol - You are trying to argue about how small Union in NZ is ..because the NRL MIGHT increase from one team to two…

 

[SirPies&Beers]

The argument that Super Rugby (in NZ) needs Australia is an interesting point. Someone said their sports need international format comps to stay viable, financially. That is probably true, all points to it.

But Rugby in NZ doesn't need Australia. The richest Rugby comp closest to here is Japan and it wouldn't surprise me for a minute if Japan and NZ integrate comps to cater to clubs from both countries. This would automatically raise the quality of Japanese rugby while simultaneously rising the financials of NZ rugby. Don't discount the rich men behind the code.

We are better off catering to our own needs, worrying about our own growth and using our comp as a selling point. Who cares what the neighbours do.

Thanks for giving me some laughs whilst I’m bored at home doing nothing

 

[BuffaloRules]

Glad I could give you a bit of a break from flogging yourself stupid …hang on ..you are doing that here as well!

Come back to me when Rugby League actually is the biggest code in NZ

 

[BuffaloRules]

Reality is 2 nrl sides won’t see league overtake union maybe not even with 3 sides

Union has a junior base we don’t have and a semi pro comp which covers the whole country

Plus crowds for kiwis games are awful

League has a long way to go but the fact it’s even being discussed is a good thing

Just saying league is taking over from Union jf we get a side is like afl is taking over in Brisbane we need another nrl side.

Wow …look at this …

arguing both sides of the street …again lol
