NZRL to block Aus v Tonga Test

[Walter sobchak]

Yep... And The NZRL is only hurting itself but making unpopular decisions! If they sort out a 3 test series against Tonga in NZ it would not only make them a motza but also would get some cred back for doing so. So what if the stadium is full of Tongans!

Maybe the NZRL are playing 4 dimensional chess in by blocking this Tonga v Australia test and making any future NZ v Tonga test/test series an even bigger must see event and grudge match ensuring sellout at Eden Park, the cake tin and Christchurch etc. I highly doubt it though!!!

It's just crazy.
Looking like it was just Meninga's thought bubble and the NRL/ARLC doesn't want a bar of it..

Just play it at Newie/Central Coast/Brissy etc

the NRL is so geniused

 

[RL The greatest game]

We are the worst f**king sport in the world..f**king usless..I'm done wasting money on the sport..

The nzrl are that f**king dumb they don't realize that if they actually help organize thee games in NZ,whether is be oz v Tonga or Tonga v Samoa,they can take a cut of the money!! f**king idiots

Pay back time for the NRL/AFL trying to block the Denver test.
I don't agree with it, but then again i didn't agree with the the NRL/AFL trying to block the Denver test.

Shouldn't even be surprised any more.

So we’ve gone from Dubai, New York, Utah, Auckland to potentially not playing the match at all. Some times it’s really hard to defend RL.

now the Tongans wont to play for free

Which is exactly what I said months ago....all this was about the Aussie's felt left out cos of the Denver test..

 

[Coastbloke]

Hmm?

Paywall article in the Daily Tele claiming the Tongans are prepared to play for free if the Test goes ahead..

IMHO if that happened, the Kangaroos should do the same..

Pretty sure the RLPA would jump up and down if the Kangaroos didn’t get paid.

 

[Coastbloke]

More than likely lol

 

[roughyedspud]

Koni Hurrell has just had a whinge on instagram about the situation..

I’m sure they would but what could they do if the players made the decision to play for free?

 

[roughyedspud]

Can't be having the players ignoring the all powerful RLPA now can we....

 

[siv]

So what have the NZRL actually blocked

The whole test or just playing it in NZ

 

[roughyedspud]

John hopate is claiming on that koni hurrell IG post that there's a conspiracy against Tonga and are being blocked from playing..

Firstly...yeah the Australia game has gone tits up,it was never happening in the first place......but what's stopped them organizing a 3 test Series v Samoa this Oct/Nov ? What's stopping them now going to the nzrl and proposing a 3 test Series against NZ in 2019??

NOTHING BUT LAZINESS is stopping them,they want someone else to do it for them!...I'm sick and tired of hearing Tongan players & coaches whinging they don't play games...f**kING ARRANGE GAMES THEN!!!
