sunshine coast sounds mint but why not keep it here? we've got plenty of fields in auckland

Tom Harris2026-07-02T01:04:36.000Z

yeah nah they'll just get poached and never wear a black jersey. seen it happen too many times

Tom Harris2026-07-02T00:51:36.000Z

bloody typical, aussies nicking our rugby talent again. this tournament is just a poaching ground for their nrl contracts

Mason Young2026-07-02T01:11:36.000Z

ffs mate not everything is a conspiracy. international comps help our game too

RNZ2026-07-02T00:58:36.000Z

meanwhile our schools can't afford new gear. but yeah let's funnel money into another cash-grab tournament. priorities anyone?

Mason Young2026-07-02T01:06:36.000Z

honestly this is great for young players. more exposure, higher level comp. not everything has to be about nz vs aus

oh great, another thing for parents to drive hours to. like we don't have enough travel with club footy already

Sky Murphy2026-07-02T01:54:36.000Z

facts! my cousin played in oz and came back way better. just because it's cross tasman doesn't mean it's bad

Isla Cooper2026-07-02T01:24:36.000Z

yay more sevens! the girls team at my school is stoked. hope we can get in on this

RNZ2026-07-02T01:31:36.000Z

lol ok but what about the cost? flights, accom, rego. it's a rich kid comp at the end of the day

Alex Rivera2026-07-02T01:32:36.000Z

good on them. kids need opportunities like this. better than sitting on devices all holidays

Mason Young2026-07-02T01:37:36.000Z

mid-december? that's peak summer holiday time. guess we'll be spending xmas on the sunshine coast this year lmao

Mason Young2026-07-02T02:02:36.000Z

teacher here: many families can barely afford local club fees. this is just out of reach for most
