Hi guys,
First encounter with league were the games broadcasted by the BBC ( especially Leeds & Wigan). While living in NZ I saw some Auckland/ Vodafone/ NZ Warriors games.
( Ruben Wiki is a legend) and occasionally I follow the 4 N.
Last week I was approached by one of the Aussies with whom I play cricket and I decided to join his Aussie footie club. I didn't play that much rugby this year and the games are scheduled when we don't have cricket so looking forward to it.
The question I would like to raise is the following: Why is there only one NZ team competing in the NRL. I know league is big in the Auckland region. But my colleagues in Rotorua and even friends in Invercargill plays some league.
Those teams could use the stadiums of the Union teams like the Warriors do.
There are plenty of kiwis, Samoans, Tongans, Fijians etc... playing in OZ so it wouldn't be that hard to start add a new team. Unless cash is the main reason.
Any feedback is more then welcome.
