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.

They find the warriors pathways and would assumably fund NZ2s pathways
Cam George mentioned in the members forum this week that the NRL put $40m into both QLD and NSW but despite 40% of playing numbers NZ Recieved $1.5m…
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?
Better set up definitely but you’d also think considering the player base and potential player base NZ offers it’d be well worth putting more funding into NZ having a 3rd option outside of NSW and QLD would surely be good for the game?
Imagine where they wouldn’t have to go to NSW or QLD to develop but could do that in NZ? Would be great to have a 3rd genuine pathway

30 percent are from nz
Kiwis in the Aussie systems are better players
NZRL sure, but the Warriors pathways are funded which is extra.
Just quoting the figure Cam George used, yeah majority of kiwi players certainly aren’t developed in the NZ systems mainly because the NZRL runs on the smell of an oily rag
Wow, Rolleston was a sleepy little town the last time I passed through it 20 odd years ago so I was surprised to see they had a high school. A little bit of wiki-ing shows that the population increased like crazy due to the earthquake (from around 2k in 2000 to over 30k now). The school was only created in 2017 and has over 1500 students, but plays it's rugby in a combined team of 3 other high schools. I wonder if they'll do the same with a league team now?Roosters coming to Rolleston: Canterbury college crowing over NRL academy
Rugby league powerhouse, the Sydney Roosters, are setting up a South Island academy at Rolleston College. The school will host the Roosters’ academy...

Well there's your problem, he's mostly full of tutae, and if he's saying them in those two poorly researched articles on the previous page then I'd really take it with a grain of salt.
Yep, the Warriors have been shit for 30 years. They only seem to get the real obvious stand out players in NZ and overlook anyone else to the point where they don't see any value in a Kenny-Dowall or a Bromwich. Or even if they have a player they can't use them properly and they go on to star elsewhere like a Taukeiaho.
Yep, and we've been telling you all thread the domestic game in NZ needs to improve.

Are you considered a junior if you don't actually play a match?
