It's not like Canterbury are weak, and the moment that NPC teams became important, they'd pull the rug out on Ta$man, who are only kept in it by the Saders giving them plenty of talent to be competitive (e.g. the Saders academy 'pushes' people to different teams by placing them in Nelson or Christchurch), Ta$man doesn't have an academy.
If Ta$man were forced to fight without the Saders standing behind them, they'd be fucked.
And, if the main team was Canterbury, it would just be the Saders.

@Snowy there was a thread/poll several years back asking for ages, think I was in the 'average age' of posters here at the sprightly age of thirty-sixteen years old!

So, I don't see any reason to dump the current franchises.
to me the options are keep them, or dump them and revert to provinces. Any other step doesn't make any sense.

I think I agree; you don't want two or three new Super franchises?

@mariner4life it was really just a bit about symbolism, a chance to draw a line under things and reconnect with the communities theyre in, a have a few friends in invercargill for example and theyve pretty much given up on the highlanders, not represented etc and i think thats probably pretty common out of the main centers
also might smooth things if we introduced a couple of new teams, everyone would have to support someone new rather than just the one from franchises that had been split
..and the crusaders thing

where? that's the issue. and what makes people support them now? Why do you change your support? or do you wait 15 years to get new supporters coming through?
It'll be like all the people up here who remain Broncos supporters from the time when they were the only Qld team, and have never moved to the Cowboys.

So quite some time ago then? If I didn't know better I would assume that you were a youngish lass from Lodz.
I'm still bloody here though, and so are all of you pricks who are no younger either.

Yeah, I think we'd be better to keep the five and find a way to have a competition that works with other countries.

Exactly it. And their kids, etc. It doesn't happen overnight.

@Kiwiwomble Still plenty on here that are seriously NPC based with loyalties to teams.
It takes a long time to adopt a new team, it seems.
not for @Nepia
Downvote! 🤣
Although I’m I think I fit exactly what @Kiwiwomble is saying, if the Hurricanes ever gave a shit about the Magpies I may have been able to overcome the Hammetteurs destroying if the team ....

Don’t you have some Instagram influencer’s page to go browse?

@Duluth probably knows that. Of course I just think that you are all Polish chicks last time that we we went into this stuff.
@Kirwan can answer that. I don't have access to the google analytics

I took a selfie at the game this weekend for you, cheering Jordie's clutch kick
