Great news for the wolfpack no doubt. Let me know when the NRL does anything similar.

New Zealand Warriors say hello. The SP hunters having bigger crowds than Toronto in a lower division say hello too.

Next.

We wont. Not least because we arent pretending that leagues overseas are being run by the AFL but mostly because setting up teams overseas isnt our thing.

Really??? So Gilly was lying when he said he wanted a team in NZ?? Makes sense I spose - is he still looking for those lost 30,000 'players' in NZ and 3 or 4000 local Chinese locked up in the marquee under the stands is Shanghai? I hope they're still not there, they'll surely have eaten all the food by now.

Funny how afl officials MISREPRESENT a lot .
misquoting figures is their specialty .

New Zealand warriors is hardly in the same ballpark as the Wolfpack.

What do you mean, they were when the club was introduced 20 years ago.

RL might have been played in NZ and Canada for years and one might have had a bigger profile than in another country yet both are the same. The ARL and the RFL took a giant leap when giving the green light to these teams, they are exactly the same. RL has been played in Canada on and off for 80-90 years now. Not much difference to the Warriors. The Warriors nearly went arse up a few times because of the idiots running the game or the idiots outside the game wanting their pound of flesh.

PNG would be another where the ARLC has done the right thing so far bar putting the team into the NRL and the only reason they aren't in the NRL is simple, the NRL clubs don't want to share any money and they don't want to have to pay for players as much as they have to, better to keep the little guy down and poach the %%%% out of them whilst they arent worth anything yet and make BS excuses as to why they can't play in the big League. And it is the second time a PNG side has been tried, the port moresby vipers where playing in the qld cup a few decades ago now, they weren't supported like the latest mob tho.

Don't worry, there are big changes coming to the NRL, they can't or wont see it yet but other nations are starting to step up and a few of these places have plenty more %%% than little old Aus, that'll fuck them up and make them pull their finger out of their arse, well it better or they'll kill the game stone dead out this way.

he also said in thirty years. You really do miss the important parts. The lost 30,000 arent lost, they were just mis represented, this has been explained to you already.

Surely you can't say these things with a straight face Wookie. So when Silly Gilly said he want's a team in NZ you strike it out because he puts a time frame on it.......lolololololol.......rubbish. And the only one who misrepresented the missing 30,000 'players' was Gilly himself. And has anybody checked that marquee under the Shanghai grandstand for those missing 3 or 4000 chinese locals? It appears Silly Gilly has form for misrepresentation....aka.....lying.

They have a long long history of misrepresentation ..bullshit ...stretching the truth & straight out lying .
But when you're part if the cult the logical part of your brain is shouted down .

Reminds me of the Simpsons
The leader is good
The leader is great .

Rugby League is run by more than one entity though. While Aussie Rules seems to be run soley by the AFL.

Our sport has the UK Super League and the RLIF running a lot of things in the Northern Hemisphere.
It is a lot more than just the NRL. Although a lot of Aussies seem to think the Australia is all our sport is.

Another 7000 crowd on the weekend just past. Not doing too bad at all.

Real test is when they start losing. Everyone likes to turn up when their team is winning

from my point of view...

this team can only get stronger..

The backers of the team and management seem to know what they are doing.

They definitely seem to already have some passionate fans.

media exposure (papers digital tv radio) tick
Crowds tick 7k avg at a 9600k stadium

Ha ha funny
