    Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary hopes NRL expansion won't hinder the Warriors' success in New Zealand

    Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary hopes NRL expansion won't hinder the Warriors' success in New Zealand

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    A second Kiwi franchise is being considered for the upcoming 20-team competition down the track, with expressions of interest for new franchises to officially be received next month.

    Cleary believes the gap between rugby union and league is closing here - and now is not the time to disrupt that progress.



    Perth and Papua New Guinea are the favourites to earn the 18th and 19th franchises respectively, with a second Kiwi side likely to be the 20th... possibly early in the next decade.
