This is a good answer as to why NZ are in our national comp.

"The New Zealand Warriors are a privately-owned company which is not required to publicly release its accounts, making it impossible to assess the financial health of the club. As a result, the club faces the same difficultly as other privately-owned clubs of having to shell out millions of dollars in poor years.

Importantly, though, the Warriors along with Brisbane are the most important club to the NRL. The team alone can lay claim to raising approximately $15 million a year in broadcasting revenues in New Zealand. It has also become the gateway for the largest source of young players entering the competition. It would be wise for the NRL to ensure the Warriors remains a healthy franchise."

Is it true that the New Zealand Warriors do not have to answer to ASADA ?

Can't believe I am actually supporting Melbourne in this game, and I can't believe they're playing so badly!

After watching the wee eagles v storm.

I don't think the storm can win the GF this year. I don't think they have the forwards.

What did you all think of the video ref explaining their decisions after a no try or try call. ?

I reckon what they should do is if the video ref decides it's a no try, when the "no try" spins around it should have the reason underneath.

Example being "No Try - Knock On" or "No Try - Obstruction".

Something like that would be fine with me.+

It's ok. A good thing interacting the viewers with the refs.
But it sounds like a pre recorded message

@AndrewVoss9: In regards SBW, I dont think Khoder is flying to NZ this week just to shop duty free.
@AndrewVoss9: Whether it gets announced publicly I dont know but Sonny Bill Williams will sign with Chiefs this week.
