Teal Green agaist the light brown of the earth is pretty sexy, and quite distinctive, doesn't clash with any other club's colours. Except maybe the Raiders, might have to be all brown to play them. Oh shit they'll look like Penrith, I may be sick.

Russell, you can't sign an agreement and then bitch when the agreement takes a tack (BADACHING!) within the rules of the agreement because of something that was maybe implied but perhaps you just never thought would happen.
And anyhoo, the game would only get called off if only 1 Dolphin turned up. Which would be fine, because it would mean the Dolphins couldn't field a team so the Kea get the 2 Points.
Yeah, like a Rabbitoh is incredibly awe inspring?!
Cockroach?! Okay, they're bastards to get rid off, but awe inspiring? NOPE!
Why not the Southern Slaters? And it's a Barracuda, to be pendantic

It would be interesting to know if the NRL would prefer a team in Fiji or Perth.
Not sure what a Fiji team would bring from a commercial point. They would probably be similar to the Keas where it's the talent and players they can bring into the NRL as big positives over the Perth bid.

Fiji is hard core Union. The Drua are selling out each home game.
They’re fully after some of the PNG “soft diplomacy” money with China starting to sniff around them too.Fiji looking to have a NRL team now.

Believe the Drua gets significant funding from Aus government

Particularly with their seven’s history and prestige. I suspect they’re wanting to be funded similarly to the Drua and PNG bid
It's not about not wanting support from people outside of the South Island at all, it's about having an identity and as you say, having a connection with a team you follow. I have supported the Warriors fiercely since the start, as it was ingrained in me from a young age that when it comes to sport, Australia is the enemy. Having a New Zealand side in an aussie comp to get behind was the connection I needed to be a loyal supporter. Now, if there is to be a Christchurch based team enter the competition, I will support them as I am a proud Cantabrian and that's where my loyalty lies. I will still follow the Warriors, but as a general rule I strongly dislike Auckland, the only place I dislike more than Auckland when it comes to sports is Australia!
The Warriors history of ignoring this part of the country is well documented, the majority of NRL games hosted down here have been bought here by Aussie clubs, not the Warriors and players from the region have always struggled to get a look in from the club. I love the Warriors and always will but it won't be a tough decision for me to back the local side come derby time. But until then.... up the wahs.

Wellington wouldn’t support the Southern Rednecks over the warriors anyway, have nothing in common other than being ‘not Auckland’
The covered stadiums will be great for crowds but their home ground advantage would have been making the aussie teams come over and play at the old grounds in the dead of winter, bloody half dark at 4pm for a Dunedin game.
11-12 home games is a lot in an NRL season, but with a fancy new stadium they need to get people conditioned that there is a game on every 2-3 weeks from march to september.

They're franchises, they shouldn't limit themselves to players from any particular region. Historically the Warriors have only focused on the areas around Auckland for local recruitment and history will say that hasn't been particularly successful.
South Island Dumbfucks has a ring to it.
And likely a premiership ring too
