League has started over here and I have caught a couple of games thus far. Good standard, but as I only went to a couple of amateur games in London and a couple of Skolars games, hard to compare with CH1. I would say that of the 8 teams, 6 are good enough to play Skolars and there are a couple of stand out players who wouldn't look out of place in a CH1 team IMO.
The organisation is well run and with NZRL sorting out funding for staff, all that is needed is for a sugar daddy to bankroll an NRL application. Problem is, even the guy who owns the wellington wendyball team in A league is feeling the pinch and owes a few million to various people, so finding said sugar daddy may prove difficult.
Maybe Murdoch needs to throw a few quid at Wellington and let the storm stand on their own 2 feet
Off to WAINUIOMATA LIONS (3rd) vs UNIVERSITY HUNTERS (2nd) on Saturday. What I will say is most neutrals I speak to about league tell me to be careful when going to league games.......I have seen nothing untoward myself, but I do hear stories of car park brawls.........maybe just the stuff of urban myth, but a worrying stigma to be stuck with.
Anyone intersted in keeping up to date with the game here and news on any NRL application should check out this site on a regular basis.
