@NWD02696407 @AllanSKF @Arightside The success of the NRL is a massive millstone holding back international RL. The clubs don't want to back Test matches because they lose out on their players. It also means Aus dominates the sport like no other.

@NWD02696407 @AllanSKF @Arightside So all Rugby League has is the NRL. That is it and you think Rugby Union is dying. If RL was such an attractive sport why isn't it killing it in France and the UK?

@NWD02696407 @Summo1011 @Arightside 10 tries total scored in the game. It doesn't seem to suggest lots of penalties. The TMO concept exists is RL as well.

@NWD02696407 @Arightside There were 10 tries in total in that game. How many tries are scored in an average competitive RL game?

@NWD02696407 @AllanSKF @Arightside RL is so badly run at an international level that most people probably aren't even aware the World cup is being played this year and the venue was switched not once but twice.

@NWD02696407 @AllanSKF @Arightside RL is dead outside Aus, NZ, and PNG. It is popular support wise among a couple of Pacific Island nations but they have less than half a million people combined

@IlliyAli That was the same in the First Hulf War back in 1991 except it was 24 hours cable news not social media.

@Tanja_Akl @dbseymour I don't think you know David Seymour. You know of him but that is obviously coloured by your preconceived bias.

@SeanBallyturk Next I suspect you are going to claim the Armenian genocide never happened. Read this: greek-genocide.net/index.php/bibl…

@SeanBallyturk @Owtovit @FrankMcRae @AotearoaLib Are you aware the Gallipoli peninsular was majority Greek before WWI. The Ottomans ethnically cleansed it during the War

@CrScottMcKenzie That's the fault of the management of the Govt departments not the Government.

@MichaelFieldNZ These are mainly armoured cars. I doubt they are going to be used for anything more than riot control.

@Liquid_Times National did not address the regulations impacting land use nor building supply costs pre 2017 nor did they seriously look at the issue with the costs of developining infrastructure. These are the areas the current Govt is tackling differently.

@jameskjx @AlanWilkinsonNZ @maxdnharris You have SOME evidence for your first assertion. You have ZERO hard evidence for your second. As stated this is just your reckons. It is not backed up by any documentation nor from the actions of Hobson post the signing of the Treaty. In short - it is a fiction.

@jameskjx @AlanWilkinsonNZ @maxdnharris All he did was entirely consistent with the British establishing a British colony. You are claiming it was not this at all but designed to stop British settlement activity. The evidence does not support this.

@jameskjx @AlanWilkinsonNZ @maxdnharris If you had actual hard evidence for these claims rather than just your reckons people would take you more seriously. The British were extremely good at recording what they were doing officially as part of their administration. Is there anything from records that backs you up?
