New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Gobsmacked]

you keep preaching to the converted here lol. I dont think there is anyone on here that doesnt think a Christchurch club would be a good move.
Why arent you asking the question why does the NRL keep ignoring the development of NZ?

That is a good question, it's improved in recent years but still below the poverty line.
NZ should be inline with NSW and QLD funding structures and development wise. It's got a long way to go..
With all the players that come from NZ, a TV deal, internationals..
Rugby league doesn't deserve the amount of support it gets in NZ, yet it's massive .

It's like we went away on holidays for months neglecting the garden out back, only to return and see it thriving..

NZRL only get $6mill from sponsorship and what ever NRL fund. Its only increased 20% in 5 years (and we dont know how much of that was sponsorship or other NZ grants increase). Its still a pittance for a whole country. Whilst QRL gets around $26mill grant NZRL gets around $4mill.

qrl deserves a far superior grant as well considering they are a member of the arlc and have 14 full fledged clubs within their state comp and within those clubs all have pathway programs through multiple grades and juniors and most have school programs too. they also support an international club in papuan new guinea

but ya wouldn't know cause ya perthwrongs, ding dong

Qrl and nswrl are shareholders and can vote on the commission

And a lot of their money comes from origin

Arl ensured nz gets two test marches a year which obviously don’t make money like origin does

Spending 20 million on semi pro comp in nz would be a major waste of time compared to establishing a new nrl side

Setup junior pathways. That's worth $$$ unlimited money.

Use your brain.

Nrl clubs run elite junior pathways

Nz2 would be providing for up to 100 to 150 elite kids

You cant have "elite" without junior pathways.

At the moment, particularly in the South Island there is limited juniors.

Its not a big cost, and pays for itself very quickly.

I know your trolling but up to 40 percent of current nrl players are kiwis

All the Christchurch team has to do is cherry-pick the best kids from union system plus league

Union itself can’t even afford its current system and we would be crazy to copy it

Almost 50% of which is developed via Australian pathways (maybe more).

I know your anti-RL development but we need to invest in juniors to grow the game.
