Sir Owen Glenn's idea on branding the club Kiwi
http://www.stuff.co....t-own-club-haka
Smacks of the argument put bforward by some in Sydney against the Warriors inclusion back in 1995 that it devalues International RL as you can say by thois move EVERY Warriors game becomes an international.

I was sat on the Underground train, and there was a girl looking at me. She was pretty good looking,too, I thought, "something's wrong here - girls as hot as that don't take an interest in me".
Then she came over and said - in a really strong Cockney acent - "excuse me, are you Sam Tomkins?".
She asked me for my autograph, and I was made up...until she asked me to make it out to her boyfriend. I was gutted, I thought she wanted my number

Sam Tomkins - Rugby League Week 14.03.12

After we were well beaten by South Sydney at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2010, a coupl;e of kids maybe eight or nine years old took their Wests Tigers jerseys off as I was walking off the field and threw them at me. "What's this" I said "You can have the jersey" one of them said "we don't go for West Tigers anymore". Then they ran back to their parents who were laughing. That was difficult to take, having kids who look up to you do that. I just dropped the jerseys on the ground and kept walking. It's not like we go out and lose by 50 points on purpose

I'm not sure about this idea at all. How can you have non kiwis performing the haka?
In the afl last year on the year before the Aussie national anthem was played before all the game's in the early rounds, and all it did was devalue the anthem.
It would be like the Catalan players singing the French national anthem before they played a game in my eyes.

Dilutes the concept. Save it for when the national team is playing.

"Journalists are meant to be neutral, for God's sake." - Stephen 'Wiggy' Jones

"Perhaps it would be better that future criticism of sports be made on the narrow basis of what is being discussed, without reference to other sports, unless those sports offer a solution to the problem in hand." - Brian 'Pigface' Moore

"What happens in rugby union? A player takes the ball, moves forward a little and gets tackled. A whole load of players then roll about on the ground. Pheep! The referee gives a penalty." - Simon Barnes
