    News Talk ZB Sport -


    It's a waiting game to see what sort of team the NRL's new rules suit.

    The competition restarts in just under two weeks, but featuring just one in-game referee and a "six again" rule, which sees infringements now punished by new sets awarded to the attacking team.

    Warriors assistant coach Stacey Jones says there are a number of theories being floated as to who the rules will favour.






    Confidence the entire Wellington Phoenix squad will reassemble when football's A-League resumes.

    Members of the team are currently spread across New Zealand and Australia, while imports Ulises Davila and Gary Hooper are in Mexico and the UK respectively.

    But coach Ufuk Talay says they're planning on a full roster when the FFA announces a season re-start.




    The season is expected to resume in August.
