Great, more NRL. Because Christchurch definitely needs another stadium that'll be empty half the time.
nah they should fixed the roads first!
Bloody waste of rates money! Council can't fix potholes but wants to throw cash at another rugby league team. Get stuffed! 😡
Would be cool to have two NZ teams in the NRL. More games to watch live!
is gonna be another expensive flop. Council loves wasting money.
A second NZ team? In this economy? Christchurch council can barely keep the water safe to drink lmao

I'm all for it. Te Kaha is a world class stadium and Chch deserves a team of its own. Go Crusaders... wait
are rugby union, mate. But yeah I'd support a Chch NRL team if it doesn't cost the earth.
As someone in the sports industry, this makes sense. NZ has the player base for two teams. Just need the investment. But the Warriors are barely sustainable as it is...
Imagine the away games for both NZ teams. Huge travel costs. But the rivalry potential... 🔥
I've worked with NRL clubs. They're gonna squeeze every dollar out of the council. Hope they get some solid sponsors.
they need to get the business side sorted before counting chickens.
