Even a All Blacks sister can't wait for the RL season : Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:28 am  

It's a sad indictment on the game, and a rather embarrassed looking Jerome Kaino knows it. The big All Blacks flanker packed down for the Blues in their romp over the Cheetahs on Friday night. But for once his most loyal fans, his two sisters, didn't go to the game. The reason? They're sick of rugby. Tired of all the aimless kicking.SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW. "They actually can't wait for the league season to start," Kaino said rather sheepishly. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/opin ... ent-issues Union is dying in NZ ,while League is Flourishing....

its inevitable that RL will become dominant over RU in the pacific islands and eventually NZ.

we need a 2nd NRL side to take advantage of the growth in interest in spectators and players

today kiwi isaac luke had another blinder of a game. i rate him the best hooke rin the competition

they just keep producing very talented RL players the kiwis.

its because the warriors play in the NRL

the WC final was one team of nrl players playing another team of nrl players (except one)

perhaps an english team should also join the nrl to help your national side

mate, i'm all for league growing in any country but i just can't see it taking over from union.
the thing is that union will just change the rules and move even closer to league.
the union world cup in 2011 will again be boring but i guarentee it sells out. corporate tickets will take care of that
