New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

Isn’t that under Saanzar though?

Previously SANZAAR sold rights as a package. The countries were then free to sell their own rights and ARU packed a shit that NZ got a much larger deal so NZRU pay ARU a sweetener to keep them happy.

you seem to be under the misapprehension that the ARLC has much interest in funding NZ properly. If they did they wouldn't be giving the NZRL a pittance every year.

They find the warriors pathways and would assumably fund NZ2s pathways

"We’ll lose kids to union and they’ll lose kids to us, but don’t dictate to them and that’s been a blanket approach across the country for a number of years."

Hmm yet another thing the Union lovers on here say doesn't happen. Quite a bit of that coming out over the last 825 pages. Well done @Gobsmacked

wouldn't that be because nsw cup and queensland cup are the premier reserve grade comps with the best set up pathways therefore to maintain what is working, money has to keep getting pumped into it?

I’m not trying to undersell at all what NZ is doing for the game and want to see another team over there and more money spent on development ,,,

However the 40 percent of NRL players might have been born in NZ, but many were actually developed in QLD and NSW…moving over to Aust at young ages
