- Auckland Blues (Rugby) and NSW Blues (NRL)

- Richmond Tigers (AFL) and Wests Tigers (NRL)

These compete.
Why arent they relevant?

I explained that. Colours are challenging for trademark registration and Richmond and us have been using Tigers for decades before trademarks existed

A quick google tells me that Trademark laws have been around since 1905. Balmain Tigers were founded in 1908.

If we look at something more recent, the Auckland Blues were founded in 1996 to launch the super rugby competition. They are competing in the same market as the NSW Blues.

They are throwing their toys out of the cot because their game is dying. They should be scared, not of the PNG Chiefs, but the NZ Warriors. If anything, their panic draws more people's attention to the NRL.

I was just answering your question when you asked why any team would build their team on two families.
Gave you an example and you’re complaining?
Didn’t see you put a time limit up…. mainly because you didn’t.

No, you put forward your opinion and then told me that the Mortimers and the Hughes family are somehow comparable. That proves you have no idea what you’re talking about.

They would have to give you a jersey if that’s the strategy.

The club could sign prime Andrew Johns and you would still find a way to complain.

Another alt account steps up to make a personal attack.
At least have the guts to use your regular name you coward.

Mainly, because when they ( the above 2 examples) were established they were not in competing markets. The media revolution has made the market smaller hence now they are in competition for share!

The problem there is that the ‘Canterbury Rugby Union ‘ commenced in the 1880s and has been known as the Blues for decades The Auckland Blues are a Franchise of the same organisation

I personally dont think the Waikato Chiefs compete with the PNG chiefs at all. There is no super rugby competition in PNG. Chiefs fans in NZ arent going to just start following the PNG chiefs because of the name. And how many members do the Waikato chiefs have in Australia?

Sport is global. If they had a decent brand they wouldn't be having a sook.

Oh, really?

Here's your original post....

I don't understand why any club would want to build a team around two families. It makes absolutely no sense.

We have three Fainus (possibly four if Manase gets signed) and maybe three Mays in the squad.

If they don't get their way, they'll hold the club to ransom. If they leave, we'll be absolutely screwed.

This is the stupidest recruitment strategy and logic I've ever seen from this club.

Here's my original answer.....
"Never heard of the Mortimer and Hughes brothers at Canterbury?
Seemed to work pretty good."
Where did I make a comparison on skill sets?
You specifically asked why any club would bother to base their team on a pair of brothers and I gave you Canterbury, and the Mortimer and Hughes brothers, as a factual (not opinion based) answer as a team that did.
So ... looks like you're the one here who has no idea what they're talking about. 🙄🤣
PS You seem to have a habit of putting people down or making derogatory statements regarding their knowledge when answering posts of late.
I'm unsure if this is based on a fragile ego, insecurity or low self-esteem... but it is unnecessary.
