The Christchurch Council is being urged to back the bid for a South Island NRL team.
It’s said the team could bring in $50 million in revenue for the city each year.
The call’s come from South Island NRL Bid ltd, led by Canterbury Rugby League Chairman Tony Kidd, and is a rival bid to David Moffett’s South Island Kea.
Former Warriors Coach Frank Endacott is a member of South Island NRL Bid Ltd, and told Mike Hosking that the two bids prove that there’s interest in the South Island having a team.
He said the main thing is not who wins the bid, but rather getting the bid in.
