Hawaiian

Don’t think that’s a good idea. My understanding is the culture on Christmas Island is very feral.

Would suit the working man’s game of league!

Yeah but these guys are next level. Christmas Island was once Murder capital of the world.

Another country worth scouting is Niue

Small pacific island quite isolated population maybe 10,000 max.Mate and I took a speed boat out there from samoa for a look around a few yrs ago. Wasnt much happening but the locals were built thick. And athletic. I think they may have produced some nrl talent over the yrs

Yeah then and Tokelau even. Thicc and the girls are fiiiine and built like tanks.
The problem though is their population respectively is that of 2 Sydney suburbs each. You’ll only get a couple of players from it.
Whereas if Hawaii takes off you can get 50 of them. All forwards too. Mainly homeboys in the mould of how we see Tongans.

Not wanting to pour cold water on anyone's suggestions....but you are aware that Honolulu is 20 hours BEHIND Sydney time. How exactly would a team in Hawaii be able to host a game which would be marketable for the broadcasters into the eastern states? (where all the viewers are)

20 hours behind is also 4 hours in front in some ways.

Interesting way of looking at it mate.

Given that the time zones would make it nearly impossible to broadcast a game I'll also suggest that the 9.5 hour flight time that also crosses the IDL would make player management and recovery impossible.

Let alone to costs associated with away supporters attending.

8pm Saturday would make for a 4pm Sunday game on the eastern seaboard, and later in NZ and most Oceania locations.
1pm Perth so still doable for them too.

interesting correlation between the hawaiian,s love for spam and this thread.....

Why do rugby league fans consider any attempt at expansion a troll move?
I’m hypothesising on expanding to the pacific island next to where we get our players. It goes Tonga, samoa, Hawaii. Those islands are close to each other.
I guarantee if I made a thread two years ago
‘Let’s have our season openers in Las Vegas and invite 4 teams’ you’d be saying the same thing. ‘Whatta troll Uleh’.
Do you understand that to expand is to think laterally?

Nasheed here,
Just had a thought so logged on.
What do you think of the idea to go to hawaii and expand into Hawaii?
They are next to the Pacific islands and despite being under the American rule are the exact same people as Samoans who play and are good at league.
I think they’ll take to it like a duck to water.
What’s more they are by far the largest pacific island in the world. Double population of Fiji and 15x bigger than Western Samoa.
Has anyone got any issues with this?

Yeh they have more ppl than some pacific islands, but one important thing...they know how to play nrl in the local pacific. They dont in Hawaii. We may as well look for players in china.

I hear their Wuhan Warriors leave their opposition sick with their efforts.

Should expand to India, can you imagine the talent you find from 2 billion people surely we get one .

I’ve been saying this for a while. Rugby is gaining ground there they would be awesome players. Natural athletes. Look at the cricket team they were undefeated this World Cup until they got to the final and got spanked by Aussies

I’m not sure that is true.
Polynesians stick close together and know each others stuff.
I’ll be amazed if Hawaiian poly’s aren’t across the rugby’s.
Remember it was only 25 years ago taht afghan cricket didn’t exist and now they beat Oz regularly.
I think it’s the same thing. I think Afghanistan watched Pakistan with interest and I think this is even more the case with Hawaiians and polys.
