If you are talking about when they were in Christchurch for the test , it was widely reported at the time that PVL and Abdo did not meet with any bid ..

Who is associated with this bid ? We don’t know still right ?

Which ?

Orcas bid yes we do

It’s been extensively discussed lol

It’s the warriors who aren’t ready for any competition or rival in New Zealand and never will be for obvious reasons of selfishness and greed.

100% selfishness and greed. One club that sells out across the entire country...
They've booked the entire buffet to themselves and don't care it most of it gets thrown in the trash.

What next? Let the kids decide on how much kandy they're allowed?

Last opinion we need is the Warriors.

I think the Warriors know that a lot of their fans have had enough of suffering and might jump ship!

I remember you joking about it at the time when PVL refused to meet with the bids …said they didn’t warrant a meeting or something similar …

Why didn’t they go and tour your favourite stadium ?

they aren’t even on Step 1 to get a second team there until the NRL will meet with one of the bids

The NRL are just playing hard to get..
That tactic got 600 million out of PNG and 50 million of of WA ..
They won't need a meeting or anything until after PNG first year, 2029.. that means they play it cool for for 4 more years..
NZ government..local government..private backing..
A second NZ team will bring hundreds of millions to the NZ economy..why give it to them for free..
That's why PVL is the GOAT.

It’s disrespectful not to meet with any of the bids , nor the Local Govt…People spent time and money on those bids at the NRLs invitation. They will be playing games out of this stadium from next year… reeks of arrogance to me

Love how you shift the goal posts

Are these bids even going to around in 4 years when nz2 is seriously considered?

Not all applicants get an interview for a job, only short listed candidates.

What exactly do you think this amounts to or doesn't?
I don't get it.

Orcas offered a license fee of whatever nrl wants
22 juniors academies around nz
Money spent on infrastructure

If he’s not lieing it’s a strong bid

And if the nrl does want nz.2 then new bids will emerge or the existing bids will get strongest

It’s not a job interview though …..

Look, if you think it’s appropriate to act that way, then that’s your opinion …we’ll agree to disagree

That was Perth red

Me and @MugaB were saying png should get a team before Pvl even thought of it

When I voted for Albo the first time I had in the back of my mind a png nrl team was labor party policy

It’s way to soon for another Brisbane team

South Brisbane won't affect dolphins
