A second Kiwi team in the NRL will occur.
It just hasn't yet.
I for one not only cheered for the Kiwis in RLWC 2008 but also won a tidy sum on them...
The final was one of the most enjoyable nights of footy I have experienced as an Australian. I have never had trouble putting the good of the game ahead of petty nationalist sentiment.
Probably a little too deep for many of you to comprehend.

There's enough Kiwis playing in the NRL and ESL to have another 2 Kiwi sides. |

For a small nation, they certainly get around a lot.

Our history and tradition in NZ is extremely rich.
Anyone but someone with union tendencies would admit that if they were conversant with the true facts.

| I was reading a thread at LU a while back in the Warriors forum and the Kiwis were talking about which areas where RL ones and where Union was Strong, I was very surprised to see that RL had some really strong heartlands outside of Auckland, they even mentioned that certain pubs in these places were either League or Union and if you went to the wrong one .....
Well you get the picture  |

Areas like the West Coast (South Island) have always been rugby league and not union.
About as far away from Auckland as one could get really - figuratively and literally (save for Otago etc.)

| Quote: headhunter "Er, yes. Playing for a club doesn't mean you're biased towards them for your entire life. He may have a soft spot for the Bulls, but that would probably be as a result of friendship with people at the club rather than actually supporting them. He's definitely not a 'fan' in the same way as you - otherwise he wouldn't be in the job. Fans are not employed within RL. If they were, it would end in disaster.'"
Fans are not employed by the RFL? Really? You are wrong then.
Even though they may be a fan/suporter of a certain club, they wouldn't allow this to cloud their judgement on the governing of the game. |

And they do OK at rugby league.
After all, we all know the World Cup resides in Auckland.
Something the 'Blecks certainly cannot claim.

All fans clubs bias clouds their judgement... To say otherwise is ridiculous..
The people that support what the RFL do, do so because they think it will benefit their club.. The minute the actions of the RFL look like they will jeopardise these clubs then they will switch quicker than you can say..'Dally endulges in dirty dozens daily!!'
Whilst the likes of Leeds, Bradford, Saints, Wigan, Harlequins etc look like they will benefit the fans of these clubs will be supportive and they can provide opinion from their lofty perch... and to hell with the rest of us. If there was any chance the shoe was on the other foot funnily enough there would be more solidarity with us.
How many of you would happily see your club go to the wall if it meant the fans of other clubs benefitted?
Quick clue.. any of you that answer yes above are liars!! |

As you know DM, I don't follow a club.
I follow the game.
I admire teams from many different clubs, States, countries and eras.
