Is there just one team in New Zealand? I saw them on tv against West Tigers the week after the New Zealand v Tonga game which was exciting. Do the New Zealand international players mostly play for Australian teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rocket Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Good to see it back, maybe now we can get on with conquering New Zealand. Vodafone Warriors @NZWarriors · 1h We're excited to announce that we'll be re-entering the NSW Cup and S.G. Ball Cup next year, with two former Kiwis and NRL premiership winners locked into coach. Right move to see that they`ve gone with Kiwis as coaches. It`s interesting to note that both times the Warriors made the NRL GF ( 2003 & 2011 ) they had a very high proportion of Kiwi born players in their squad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely an opportunity for league to grow in NZ as sport and has always been the case. But it won’t be at the expense of their national game.
