New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Red&BlackBear]

No 2 bids are alike. Just because something is for one bid doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for another likewise what works for one, might not work for another.

Titans, Dolphins, PNG, WA Bears, NZ 2 nothing like eachother. Different metrics used to gauge and evaluate them because QLD, WA and NZ are nothing alike from a rugby league perspective and even then the conception of Dolphins and Titans both within QLD were nothing alike.

Not sure what comparing them to eachother gets you.

Just discussion. It's up the the NRL and Bears fans to make it work now.

And WA locals like yourself and Perth Red of course. You get to turn up to home games, don’t undersell that fact.

Yeah, I'll go to games. But it's the east coast fans that will make or break the club. That's where the main support will be.

Love matthew ridge. Great player back in the day .

looks like he’s still in good shape too!!

What the viewship numbers of NRL in Wellington?

Consistent with the rest of NZ, went to Warriors and Kiwis games when I lived there. Local scene has fallen away in recent years but was relatively close to the level you’d see in Canterbury until the last decade or so. A few current players born there include Jahrome Hughes, NAS, Joseph Tapine, Jordan Rapana.

Not downplaying NZ2. Hopefully there are team 18 or 20 without a Sydney club flavour. Huge step forward for the game

Maybe.

he’s more welcoming to new members than you that’s for sure.

I am very welcoming to ‘new’ members. I say ‘welcome new member’. You aren’t new.

Huge step forward for NZRL, the NRL and international RL.

Hooray

There problem is being yet another offering in the most saturated RL market in the world.

Unlike say the Dolphins, they are offering very little to Sydney fans. Even to Norths fans they are only a shadow of what was.

Sure there will be a temporary sugar hit, but is it sustainable.

It’s a shame nz2 aren’t team 19

 

[Canard]

Does anyone think that there could be a mini revival in super rugby what with the recent success of the wallabies ?

Didn't they only win 2 games on their European Tour?

Does that qualify as a "revival"?

True but they don’t need to be as long as they are announced as team #20 for 203? By the NRL.
